One-Third of Batch at
XLRI Jamshedpur Receives Pre-Placement Offers
In an impressive prelude to the
annual placement season, XLRI Jamshedpur has announced a total of 57
Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs), translating into corporate invites for
one-third of the batch even before signing into the placement season.
The offers ranged across a varied
spectrum of verticals - from Strategy Consulting to Investment Banking,
Corporate branding to Human Capital, and Technology Management to Corporate
Finance.
JP Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers,
Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Citibank, Reliance Capital and Axis Bank were some of the
leading recruiters in the Finance Domain who deemed it fit to offer Trading,
Investment Banking, Treasury, Commercial Banking, Equity Research, Human
Resources and other coveted roles to students right out of their summer
internships.
The Hay Group, Ernst & Young,
Hewitt, Mercer, TAS, the Aditya Birla Group and Deloitte were among the
recruiters vying for a piece of the Consulting, Human Resources and General
Management pie in the batch by confirming their interest in interns.
Unilever, Procter & Gamble,
Nokia, Asian Paints, ITC, Cadbury and Nestle were the leading FMCG and consumer
durable majors that snapped up trainees choosing to pursue a career in
marketing, branding and sales.
Microsoft, CTS, IBM, and a host
of systems majors were pleased to extend offers in Business Development, Human
Resources, and Marketing to students.
"While the performance of our
students was no surprise in itself, and justifies the recognition accorded by
the Industry, the offers are hopefully just the beginning, and set the tone for
a robust placement season," said Prof. Uday Damodaran, Placement
Coordinator, XLRI.
In addition, with more
Pre-Placement Offers yet to come in, and Pre-Placement Interviews scheduled over
the next few weeks, the number is likely to see a significant increase as the
students enter the Lateral Recruitment Programme and Campus Recruitment
Programme.
