FINAL PLACEMENTS 2013

The School of Business Management of NMIMS, Mumbai had a successful Final Placement season for the Batch of 2013.
Despite the sluggish economic scenario, the industry has, yet again, shown immense faith in the caliber of our MBA grads who
have continued the legacy of bagging coveted profiles and lucrative packages across sectors and domains.

With the economy following a downward spiral, the placement season initially looked challenging with the cautious recruiters
on one hand and a large batch size of students spanning across five MBA programs on the other. The total number of
graduating students went up to 474 (an increase of 15% over the previous year) out of which 55% aspired for profiles in the
BFSI sector.

While Flagship MBA Program, which has been in existence for three decades, maintained its strong foothold in the industry;
the relatively new Focus MBA Programs in Banking, Capital Markets & Actuarial Science too have gained broad acceptance in
their respective niche areas. NMIMS is also proud of the first batch of MBA HR that is graduating this year with flying colors,
superseding expectations.

However, as the season progressed, the initial apprehensions were quelled with the unflinching support of our loyal recruiters,
a huge influx of first time recruiters and a few that visited after a gap. Such wholehearted support from the corporate world
reflects the faith in brand NMIMS, its faculty and students. The extensive and strong NMIMS Alumni Network also played an
efficacious role in ensuring successful placements this year.

In spite of the tough market conditions, we witnessed an increase in the overall packages across programs. The average for
MBA program 2013 rose to INR 14.40 LPA, while the highest CTC offered stayed consistent at INR 30 LPA. Out of the 140
companies that participated, a stellar 35% were new names or returned after a hiatus.
