Placement Highlights  2011

Placements for the Class of 2011 at the ISB were marked with a mood of confidence and buoyancy. The students secured the highest ever number of offers across an array of industries, functions and geographies. This year, 310 companies made 661 offers to the students, many of which were senior management positions, both nationally and internationally.  While the overall increase in the number of offers was 22% over last year, the number of domestic offers increased by 19%, and international by 35% . There was an overall rise in compensation levels as compared to last year, across industries and functions. The average outgoing compensation was 2.3 times the average incoming compensation. The leading sectors for this placements season were Consulting (32%), IT/ITES (21%), and Banks & Financial Institutions (12%).  The offers from the Consulting sector doubled as compared to last year.

An interesting aspect of the placements this year was ISB alumni recruiting students for their companies.  In all, 8 students from this Class were hired by the alumni. 5 students opted out of the placements process and enrolled into the Entrepreneurship Development Initiative (EDI) at the ISB. They have chosen to start their own ventures in the areas of tourism, customised mobile manufacturing, learning and development using Indian Mythology, Retail, and Mobile application technology. The Class of 2011 comprised 569 students, out of which 552 students participated in the Placements process. Others chose to go back to their previous organisations, family businesses or their own ventures.
