“The lucrative offers by the recruiters reflect the quality of our students and our programme. DoMS is known for its excellence in high quality faculty, and rigorous teaching and learning process. We expect more industry engagement in various domains in the future,” Prof. M. Thenmozhi, head, of Department of Management Studies, IIT Madras, said.
Companies including Amazon, CISCO, Deloitte, ICICI and McKinsey have recruited students. As many as 16% of the students who had interned in a company were offered jobs in the same firm.
The institute said that several new trends were seen during the placement like rise in jobs in consulting and analytics space post-pandemic. Virtual placement enabled more companies to participate across locations and improved the efficiency of the process.
A total of 26 companies came for the recruitment drive, of which 55 per cent or 14 companies were first-time recruiters. Amazon, CISCO, Deloitte, ICICI and McKinsey were among the top recruiters in terms of job offers.
