Ensuring that you stay ahead
April heralds a series of good news —both on the professional and financial front. The structurally complex job of recruiting now gets a breather as a leading HR consultancy firm has predicted one million new jobs in India this year. The economic horizon too shines bright with India to overtake Britain as a favored investment destination in the world. India is sure making her presence felt in the global map. And we cannot be but proud and elated about it.
And as if to substantiate this fact, the IBS Placement 2008 has been successful as always with companies from various sectors having visited and 100% students being placed successfully. The placement statistics indicates that the final results are much better than 2007. The best news is that the trend in recruitment by the bulk recruiters, with 10 or more students, has increased by 82% this year.
