It’s a validation of our continued emphasis on currency of the curriculum and pedagogical innovations. The hard work of our students and the commitment of our faculty and staff have helped us achieve this record breaking feat.” Prof. Abbasali Gabula, Associate Director – External Relations said, “We faced special challenges this placements session particularly as the institute re opened and then closed again with the third wave of the pandemic. Our teams readjusted quickly, the students came together and as a team we ensured that the season’s performance was one of the best we have seen in recent times.” A brief on the companies visiting: Consulting/ IT Consulting This year’s placement process saw a huge intake of students by the consulting domain, making it the largest recruiting sector by rolling out offers to over 38% of the batch.
