SPJIMR Successfully Completes Autumns Placements Process

/ -- Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's SPJIMR has announced the successful completion of its autumns placements process with 69 companies rolling out over 300 offers for 239 participants from the PGDM Class of 2020. The season brought 23 new recruiters on the SPJIMR campus and saw the average stipend move up despite challenging market conditions.

Some of the positive highlights of the season were the large number of total companies on campus, a large number of new recruiters and a surfeit of new roles for which offers came in. The season saw leading recruiters on campus from diverse sectors, such as Investment Banking, Private Equity, Consulting, General Management, FMCG, Financial Services and E-commerce, among others.

The upbeat results came at a time when companies are bracing for headwinds in an economy that has reported slower growth, with several sectors under pressure and in the midst of readjustment of demand.

"The placements are a reflection of SPJIMR's stature and standing, and the reputation that our students are equipped to deliver superior performance with a cooperative mindset," said Abbasali Gabula, Associate Director (External Relations), SPJIMR.

Said Dr Sajeev A George, Chairperson PGDM, "We are delighted to see marked improvement in quality of placements and stipends of our students for corporate internships. This further validates the success of our distinctive approach in which the students carry out their corporate internship projects in the second year of the programme, after completing their major specialisation courses. With the high levels of engagement from the recruiting companies, we are confident that our students will meet and exceed the expectations of the companies, potentially resulting in a large number of pre-placement offers."
