Rockin Placements

Wow!!!Everybody here in Dubai is excited. Today we have i2, Spencers, Patni and 3i on campus. TCS, Maersk, CTS, Rivoli, Spencers, Pantaloons, ICICI bank, Zensar tech, Madura Garments all are vying hard for the students of SPJCM. Its a rocking day here. Students are being picked up like hot cakes. Heard that Singapore campus had about 52 offers just for yesterday with TCS, CTS, Bank Am, Citibank and Wipro battling for the best, and its not surprising that companies are ready to pay an excellent salary package.

Maersk is the pick of the day offering people across specializations excellent packages for both India and Dubai. I had my interview of CTS yesterday through Video Conference and it was pretty cool, athough they grilled me on my project and disseration. Went on for 30 mins after which I had an HR telecon round the next day. Was offered a position as a senior business analyst. Yet to confirm my location and joining date. Expecting to join the Healthcare and Lifescience vertical of CTS.

All I can see is smiling faces and hugs!!Everyone here is happy to see their year of hardwork and investments finally bearing fruit. Its been a hard year for us. Most of my colleagues, including myself have average work experience of 2-3 years and it needs guts and balls to take a decision to leave comfy jobs they had to come out of India to pursue a Global MBA. But this course in two cities has broadened our outlook and expanded our horizon. Students of SPJCM can dare to think of jobs in GCC, US, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia. They are being offered jobs all over the globe which would not have been possible if we had done an MBA back home. Some companies are taking their own time to come for placements. They might be thinking that with SPJCM they can afford to take chances. Poor thing!!! They should be knowing latecomers dont get to eat from the pie. I hope everybody gets placed in a couple of days and we can start partying hard.

!!!Wish you all the best, guys n gals!!!
