The numbers of job offers for the students of Indian School of Business has gone up by 77 per cent this year compared to last year in the on-going campus placements programme.
The consulting firms continue to be the among the large recruiters with the participation of major firms like Accenture, Deloitte, KPMG, McKinsey, Parthenon, Vector Consulting and ZS Associates.
About 21 per cent of the Class of 2015 with over 760 students will be joining consultancy firms. "Over the last seven years McKinsey alone has recruited over a hundred consultants from ISB. Firms like Deloitte recruit 30 to 40 students every year for global consulting roles," M Padmanaban, Director, Career Advancement Services ISB said in a release issued here on Wednesday.
Technology companies like Apple Inc, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, IT products and solutions providers like Cognizant, Infosys and Wipro, and e-commerce players like Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal also recruited in large numbers, contributing about 38 per cent of the offers.
On the international placements front, the new trend is participation from companies from Africa. "With several ISB students having prior international work experience, combined with the learning of handling emerging markets, companies are keen to hire them for global positions," he said.
International roles offered include locations such as Singapore, China, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
The complete details about the total number of offers to be made for a class size of over 760 will be known after the completion of the process. ISB conducts an integrated rolling placements process for its two campuses at Mohali and Hyderabad. It follows a system of lateral hiring process that is spread over several months, giving both recruiters and students time to find their best fit.
