How were the Placements last year?
Ans. As the economy is struggling globally, this has clearly reflected on the job prospects of entry level job seekers last year. Job growth has slowed down and many companies are optimizing their surplus staff and have frozen hiring. Campus recruitments were also down as compared to the previous years. In spite of such a situation we have been able to place nearly 100% of our PGDM students. The average package for the PGDM course last year was 3.4 lacs per annum and the highest package was 6.4 lacs per annum.
