 "ISB see 77 per cent rise in placements for Class 2015")
The Indian School of Business (ISB) today announced a 77 per cent increase in the placement offers this year at its campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali.
Global consulting names like Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, McKinsey, Parthenon, Vector Consulting and ZS Associates continued to recruit in large numbers. About 21 per cent of the Class of 2015 are set to make their way to these firms, ISB said in a release.
“Over the last seven years, McKinsey alone has recruited over a hundred consultants from ISB. Firms like Deloitte recruit 30-40 students every year for global consulting roles,” said M Padmanaban, director of Career Advancement Services at ISB.
Technology companies like Apple Inc, Facebook, Google, Microsoft; IT bigwigs Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro; and e-tailers like Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal also recruited, contributing about 38 per cent to the offers.
More offers are slated to be announced by marquee firms in the coming weeks at its ‘Integrated Placements’ process, it said.
The Class of 2015 has 760 students for the Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGDM).
ISB follows a system of rolling placements, a lateral hiring process that is spread over several months, giving both recruiters and students time to find the best talent. During this period, the school also supports and encourages students in their independent search efforts to find their preferred careers.
