The autumn internship placements of PGDSM-MIT batch of 2006-08, were an astounding success, with 100% batch placement and an average of 1.6 offers per student. PGDSM-MIT is a unique two-year globally focussed dual degree program in Systems management. The course is celebrating its third year since inception. The autumn internship model was introduced for PGDSM-MIT for the first time this year.
As an integral part of the Systems Management course, autumn internships are designed to provide management students an opportunity to put their learning into practice, while enabling companies to assess quality managers-in-the-making by exposing them to real-time projects.
With 27 companies making a beeline to SPJIMR’s campus on day 1 for a batch of 63 candidates, it wasn’t much of a surprise when a total of 104 challenging profiles across varied domains were offered. The recruiters competed against each other, luring the participants with exciting projects in the areas of Marketing Strategy, Process Consulting, SCM Consulting, IT Strategy, Business Research and Pre-sales. It was indeed a dilemma of sorts for those with multiple offers!
The list of companies included some of the giants in the industry such as SAP India, IBM, GE, Capgemini, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant Technology Solutions, HP, HCL, RPG, Aditya Birla Group, Honeywell, Frost & Sullivan, Alcatel Lucent, Aricent, ICICI, Siemens, M&M, NCDEX, i2 Technologies and Nihilent to name a few, with GE making the maximum number of offers. The overall highlight of the program was Siemens Information Systems Ltd making pre-placement offers.
The companies found that the course PGDSM-MIT fosters superior expertise in terms of functional, domain and business knowledge along with values through the pedagogic practices at SPJIMR.
Prof. Abbasali Gabula, Chairperson, External Relations remarked that the companies gave positive feedback and were looking forward to come back to campus for final placements.
