The placements results for the batch of 2009-2011 at International School of Business & Media (ISB&M) being announced. The School has had another successful placement year showing growth and revival in the economy. The batch comprised more than 500 students out of which more than seventy percent students are placed.

Dr Pramod Kumar, President, ISB&M, said, “I am humbled by the confidence that companies have reposed in us once again, by choosing ISB&M students to augment their talent pool. Our students come with a rich and diverse experience, and their transformational year at the ISB&M has helped them to boost their capabilities and move along their chosen career paths. I am sure that this class too will make us proud by making an impact on business & society.”

This is the 10th year that the ISB&M is using the Rolling Placements System and the successful placements year after year are a testimony of its acceptance by the industry. The system is a lateral hiring process that is spread over several months, giving both the recruiters and the student’s time to find the best fit. During this period, the School also supported and encouraged students in their independent search efforts to find their preferred careers. The result was an increase in the number of offers and the variety of roles that that were offered to the students. Going forward, the ISB&M will continue this model of an extended rolling placement period, to ensure that every student is given time and independence to help find their preferred careers.

This year, over 200 leading companies participated in the placements. The Class of 2011 also witnessed a 30% increase in the number of offers over last year as companies chose the ISB&M students for varied roles. Overall, the salaries offered to the Class of 2011 increased by 20% over last year. The number of offers made by the top 10 companies from Technology , Consulting and Finance increased by 100, 20, and 30 percent respectively over the last year, making them the largest recruiters on campus this year. Pharma, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Real Estate, Media, and Energy were some of the other sectors chosen by the Class of 2011.
