PLACEMENT AT XIMB

The oft-repeated phrase “History repeats itself” rarely presents an opportunity for practical verification. The students of XIMB got the rare opportunity….indeed, the opportunity of a lifetime…..to witness history repeating itself. Just one year ago, on the 8th of January, 2005, the nation watched as the students of the batch of 2005 at XIMB made themselves and their institute proud by achieving 100 percent placements within a span of just a few hours.
So unbelievable was the experience that few believed that it could ever be replicated. But they were wrong. The batch of 2006 went a few notches above their predecessors by achieving 100% placements on day 1 itself, and was part of the record-breaking experience that was Xuberance, 2006. Many companies, which were scheduled to visit campus after Day 1, were compelled to return empty-handed.

Key companies from almost all the sectors participated in the placement process this year. The real heavyweights on campus included Infosys Technologies (26 offers), TCS (14 offers), IBM (11 offers), Wipro Technologies (10 offers), GenPact (10 offers), JP Morgan (6 offers), Mindtree Consulting (7 offers) and Ernst and Young (6 offers) among others.
