Unprecedented Rise in
Marketing Offers at XIMB Summer Placements
Xavier Institute of Management (XIMB)
saw an impressive wave of summer recruiters this year. Students were snapped up
for a host of profiles including investment banking, credit risk analysis,
market research, operations, consultancy, and human resources, in a
cross-section of some of the biggest names across industries.
Stipends averaged Rs. 20,000 - a 30% jump from last year - while Gold Matrix,
a new face on campus, made an international offer.
The marketing stream saw an
unprecedented rise in offers, with the influx of FMCG bigwigs Coke, PepsiCo,
Cadburys, Britannia, HT and ICI Paints, to add to the earlier portfolio of
Marico, Godrej, SAB Miller and Cavin Care. JPMC, BNP Paribas and Citibank joined
the list of finance recruiters, alongside ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, HSBC Global
Resourcing, TATA AIG, and Futures First, comprising majority of the total
offers. The institute also drew consultancy offers from stalwarts like E&Y and
PwC. CTS, TCS, Wipro and TATA Corp HR and Dell continued to be major recruiters.
XIMB prides itself on its
carefully cultivated atmosphere of learning and development. Fast melting
geographical boundaries today are ensuring that corporate India needs to
necessarily go global, with a vengeance. In recognition of this new need, XIMB
has sought to strengthen its international face. The institute hosts a gamut of
international exchange programmes, boasts of visiting faculty from around the
world, and participates actively in conferences and forums at a global level.
This, coupled with a vivacious corporate interface, has ensured the continuing
evolution of this reputed institute.
