Placements at SPJIMR in full swing

Internship placements for corporate projects at Mumbai based SP Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) were hugely successful as the institute effortlessly placed its largest batch yet in the face of a not-so-favourable economic situation. The entire batch of 164 was placed on the first day of placements. Signing off with exciting, never-offered-before profiles, the PGDM class of 2009 accentuated the trend that has been seen at SPJIMR. The placement process, that was spread over 27th and 28th August, ended with participants being offered their dream projects in reputed companies across sectors like Consultancy, Banking, IT, Investment Banking, FMCG, Private Equity, Manufacturing, Healthcare& Pharmaceuticals, Telecom and Media. Companies participating in the process included Tata Administrative Services (TAS), ING IB, Miebach Consulting, Microsoft, GSK, Tata Capital, E&Y (Business Advisory Services), Deloitte, P&G, HUL, Marico, Cadburys, Nestle, Intel, J&J Consumer, Motorola, HT Media, Capgemini, CTS, Cummins, Aricent, Wipro, IBM, SAP, Edelweiss, Development Bank of Singapore, etc.SPJIMR also attracted participation for the first time from renowned international firms coming exclusively to SPJIMR. These firms included brand and creative design consultant Landor Associates and leading online auction and shopping website eBay, international networking giant Cisco ,which offered coveted roles for the first time across B-schools.PGDM participants at SPJIMR carry out social projects when the rest of the business schools have summer corporate projects scheduled. It is for this reason that corporate India has to come out with specially designed projects under the "Autumns internship" in the months of September and October. SPJIMR has been known for its innovations in management education. Projects based on its flagship programmes, Development of Corporate Citizenship (DOCC) and Assessment and Development of Managerial Potential (ADMAP), are now being tried at other Indian business schools. It is these reasons that set SPJIMR uniquely apart from other business schools, as clearly endorsed by corporate India lapping up SPJIMR students for their internships.
