"We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence, then, is not an
act, but a habit."
-
Aristotle
The above words deftly summarize the successful
culmination of year round efforts of the batch of 2004-2006 to
enhance their capabilities and position themselves to add value to
leading campus recruiters. In all, 75 companies participated in
the lateral and non-lateral placements and recruited students from
diverse educational backgrounds and work experience ranging from
zero to forty months. Trading majors like
Olam International and
Backes and Strauss
underscored their faith in IIFT students with their early
participation. In addition, coveted employers from the resurgent
FMCG sector, (such as Nestle,
ITC,
Colgate-Palmolive,
Dabur and
Godrej) conducted exhaustive
processes to ensure successful profile matching. The banking
sector was well represented by ICICI
Bank, UTI bank
and SBI – organizations
that reposed their confidence by offering profiles ranging from
corporate finance and treasury to relationship management. The
booming telecom sector was led by the
Bharti group, while pharmaceutical and medical
treatment majors like Glenmark
Pharmaceuticals and Becton Dickinson
also offered much sought-after profiles. The average salary
offered was INR.8.1 lakhs p.a.
with the highest international package being
USD 100,000 p.a. and the
highest domestic package being INR
10.66 lakhs p.a.

varied sectors such as IT and Trading recognized this distinct
advantage and chose to offer unique lateral profiles to eligible
candidates. Companies such as IBM, HP, CSC,
AWB, iGate, Accenture and Wipro
contributed to a successful lateral placement schedule, making 39
offers, of which 25 were accepted.
Summer Placements
The Summer Placement
process for the batch of 2005-07 set a positive and ambitious tone for
all placement activities last year. The process got a huge impetus
with 30% of the batch being placed within the first week of October,
by leading brand names such as HLL, ITC,
ABMC, Pepsico, WIPRO, Coca Cola, Genpact, Nestle and
Colgate-Palmolive. On the whole,
the batch of 115 students was placed across diverse sectors including
