Final Placements 2009
Sectoral Divide
Despite a reduction in their international operations, significant participation was seen from the financial sector companies in both the private and public space. Offers were made by Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Standard Chartered, American Express, Yes Bank, Axis Bank, Aranca, Barings Private Equity, Futures First, SEBI, ICRA, SBI Cap etc. Finance still remained the preferred destination for most of the students with as many as 37% final acceptances. The talk of recession was drowned down by the frenzy with which students were lapped up by the Banks.
