As per the college policy, a survey was done amongst the final year students to know their sectoral preference in which IT/ITES and BFSI were the top draws. So the final line up of companies was skewed towards IT and BFSI. The major recruiter this year included

1. IT/ITES – Covansys, IBM, HP, Infosys, Wipro, i-Flex and Infosys BPO

2. FMCG – L’Oreal, ITC, SAB Miller, Tata Tea, Asian Paints, Nerolac

5. Services – Thomas Cook, VFS

6. Manufacturing – Trident, Sterlite, John Deere, Bajaj Motors, Eicher Motors, Ceat International

7. Agri Business – Monsanto, DSCL, HyperCity

In terms of numbers, IBM and Trident each picked 9 students from IB batch and Monsanto picked 4 students from ABM batch

As far as the statistics go, the highest salary was 11.75 lakh/pa for laterals and 10 lakh/pa for freshers for the IB batch. For the ABM batch the highest salary was 7.6 lakh/pa for freshers.

The average salary for the IB batch showed an increase of 30 % over the previous year. It stood at 7.55 lakh/pa as compared to 5.8 lakh/pa last year. Median salary stood at 7.20 lakh/ pa.

The average salary for the ABM grew by 49 % to 5.20 lakh/pa from previous year’s 3.5 lakh/pa. The median salary for the ABM batch stood at 5.05 lakh/pa.

The bigger picture this year however is not in figures. This year excellent profiles were offered to students. Apart from International Marketing and Supply Chain which is what SIIB is known for and which is what ITC-IBD, VFS, Ceat, Sterlite offered, students also got profiles as diverse as Corporate Finance, Domain Consulting, International Market Research, Product Development, Derivative Trading, Equity Research, Wealth Management, Treasury Management as well as core Sales and Marketing profiles. Also three excellent international business offers were made in manufacturing sector.
