wow, neat placements. Now three little questions.

The guy/girl who got the top offer from JP at 16,
(i) Did he/she take up the offer?
(ii) What profile & which group was this profile for?
(iii) What was his workex profile like?

The answers to these will help us (all) a ton (or maybe a ton and a half).

Thanks and congrats guys! For VITS, maybe I'll see you here at BKC, Mumbai; I'm with il&fs;, the next building :razz:

of course, we can meet once I join SEBI...i'm aware that SEBI, IL&FS;, ICICI Bank & Citibank are all in the vicinity... :)

The above reply would have partially answered your query...46% students in our batch are freshers and they too have got great placements... 😃

Hey congo to XIMB people for the great placements.

One more reason for me to choose XIMB over *&^%$ if I get a call from XIMB.

One question.

-> I have 26 months of experience as Embedded Engineer in eInfochips Ahmedabad including project as Team leader. Right now I am inclined towards marketing (dont know what I'll take after first year). But if I take Finance or marketing, then will my experience be counted or I'll be considered as a fresher?
