FACULTY OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES, DELHI

PLACEMENTS 2015

Placement Conveners Message

It gives us immense pleasure to communicate that our Final Placement Process has

been successfully completed. This year we witnessed more enthusiastic participation

from the corporate world in the talent pool nurtured by FMS Delhi. This year saw

greater participation from fast growing, emerging businesses. Our average salary for

the batch also went up significantly. This stands testimony to the quality of students

who graduate from the Faculty of Management Studies and the relevance of its

curriculum to the needs of the world of business.

This process was facilitated by the availability of a diverse pool of students for the

variety of profiles offered by the companies across different domains. The students as

well as the companies had the opportunity to meet mutual aspirations and

expectations.

This year also witnesses a positive shift in the process of Placements. Before the onset

of the Final Placement Process, the aspirants were made to give their preferences for

the companies and the profiles that they were aspiring for. This was then matched with

the preference given by the companies after they had made offers to the candidates.

This process was carried out to achieve the best fit between student and job, which

would be advantageous to both parties in the long run. It also helped the team to

maintain a high degree of transparency in the process. We are indeed very upbeat

about the positive feedback and reaction we have received from corporate leaders to

the campus. We hope this relationship continues for years to come.

The entire process has been successful because of the effort and dedication of all the

stakeholders involved in it. This gives us an opportunity to extend a heartfelt gratitude

to all the recruiters who exhibited immense faith in the skills and aptitudes of the

students of FMS Delhi . We would also like to express our thanks to our fellow faculty

members, students and the illustrious alumni who have been a great source of support

and encouragement in the smooth conduct of the Placement Process. Last, but not

the least, we extend a word of gratitude to our Dean, Prof. M. L. Singla, for being a

pillar of strength to all of us.

PLACEMENT REPORT

Introduction

Celebrating 60 glorious years of its inception, Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi

witnessed yet another year of exceptional placements both in terms of the

compensation and the profiles on offer. The successful conclusion of the recruitment

cycle bears testimony to the exceptional student quality and the faith recruiters have

reposed in the placement process.

Placement Process

The placements were conducted in two phases with the first one (Lateral Placements)

being for students having prior work experience of more than 18 months and the

second phase (Final Placements) for students with lesser/no work experience.

To ensure a smooth and transparent process for both the recruiters and the students

two important measures were put in place. First, the students undertook a Company

Slotting exercise to decide on the order in which the companies should visit the

campus for recruitment. Second, a scheduling algorithm was devised keeping in mind

preferences of both the students and the recruiters and the same was used for the first

time during the Final Placement process.
