After rigorous academic pursuits for one and half years, the batch of 2004-06 was in full shine and honor for the Autumn Placements. SPJIMR was abuzz with celebration, having experienced a deluge of a different kind. 50 coveted companies set the SPJIMR campus ablaze with top notch offers flooding in at mind boggling rates: With companies vying neck to neck to bag some of the best talents in the country, the rate of offers' inflow which clocked a rate of 1 offer every 6 minutes during the first 5 hours, sped up to 1 offer every 5 minutes during the next 4 hours and then shot up to 1 offer every 3 minutes for the remaining 3 hours. This resulted in 188 challenging project offers for 147 participants.
Participants of the PGP 2006 batch of SPJIMR hailing from four different specialization streams walked away with projects in different sectors of the industry: IT companies bagged the lion's share, making 35% of the offers followed by FMCG-21%, Banking-13%, Finance-11% and Consultancy-8%. The largest recruiter was HCL -14, followed by IBM-12, Citibank-11, Wipro-9, E&Y-8, Aditya Birla Group-7 and P&G, Asian Paints and I2 Technologies making 6 offers each.
Ensuring smooth conduct of the proceedings by effectively handling 50 companies was a Herculean task. However, the students and faculty members of SPJIMR did a stupendous job and pulled off a brilliant show devoid of any glaring glitches. Their well-thought out planning abilities were exemplified by the abundance of volunteers, directions, food arrangements and punctuality witnessed during the placements. Nishant, a participant in the autumn placement, says - "a mind boggling number of companies in a very short span. Excellent handling of the placement process...But more than the number of offers or the terrific profiles offered, it was the sense of unity, the sense of bonding and the feeling togetherness that was more gratifying...A great memory to cherish indeed...."
