Summer Placements Blaze at XLRI
The Summer Placement Process at XLRI was a resounding success, with the crme-de-la-crme of the corporate world vying for the best talents of this country. The profiles offered were varied, from Hedge Funds to Retail Banking, Strategy Consulting to Human Resources, and Branding to Operations.
With domestic stipends reaching astronomical heights of Rs. 5 Lakhs (Lehman Brothers), the process resulted in the batch of 2008 being placed in exclusive roles with the best companies in the industry, both from India and abroad. Lehman Brothers, J P Morgan Chase, Hay and Microsoft offered stipends of more than a lakh (for domestic offers), while Novartis, HUL, ABG, P&G;, Transworld, Asian Paints and ICICI made foreign offers.
HSBC, Ernst & Young, ABG, Edelweiss, Deloitte Consulting, IBM and Nokia were the largest recruiters this year with the highest number of accepted offers. Other premier recruiters include Carlyle, Accenture Business Consulting, KPMG, TAS, Yahoo etc.

Professor Uday Damodaran, Chairperson of the Placement Committee, commenting on the successful completion of the Summer Internship Process, had this to say The challenge of running a placement system is one of continuously catering to the changing preferences/ needs of the students and recruiters. Reflecting the changing preferences of students all over, at XLRI too we saw- this year- a larger proportion of students interested in taking up summer assignments in the finance domain/ consultancy sector. To the credit of the student Placement Committee, they have been able to successfully address the needs of the students who participated in the summer internship programme

Hi Seniors...
Just a query from a Navet.
What kind of profiles do PMIR students get . I mean what all companies recruit them. I dunno expect the I-Banks recruiting the PMIR students...
I am asking this coz i have applied to the PMIR program .
Thanks in advance...

Till some of my PMIR colleagues gives u a more proper answer with all required information later, let me give the info i have.
You get a wide choice of consulting companies, as well as software MNC giants, and then all FMCG and various other top organizations offer HR (& IR) roles, the exact profiles vary for each company as well as the type of student profile they are looking for (varies as per amount of work-ex and field of earlier work-ex). Even some of the Fin giants shortlisted HR students.
I hope this satisfied your query. Although at this stage, this should be enough, but if you need exact details (of for some of the specific company) you could pm some of the PMIR seniors (bugs bunny, skeptic, etc).
P.S. If you are looking and are interested in HR, there is no better college than xl. :)
@ninja_talli...
Thanks a lot for confirming that. I know you would laugh when u hear how i applied to PMIR... I wanted to apply for BM only... But thought would later change the option .. But alas couldnot edit my choice...
