Business School achieves 100% placement record for the second consecutive year

The guest of honour for the convocation was Dr. Dipak C Jain, Dean - Kellogg School of Management, ranked as the world's number one business school.

"We are quite excited by the overwhelming response from multinationals in the Middle East. Singapore and India and the local groups in Dubai," said Nitish Jain, President, S P Jain Center of Management (SPJCM). This year also saw our students being placed in Singapore. The Middle East, South Asia and Asia Pacific are emerging as globally competitive markets and being able to generate such a huge response from the corporate sector is flattering, to say the least. But the true credit goes to the relevance, rigor and pedagogy of the program, the international credentials of our faculty and the global exposure that has resulted in the high caliber of our students, who deserve to be hired by the world's best companies."

Out of a total batch of 117 Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) students, 34 have specialized in Investment Banking, 21 in Wealth Management, 26 in Retail Management 12 in Services Marketing & Management and 24 in information Management. Along with these students 40 Executive Masters in Business Administration (EMBA) participants were also conferred their Diplomas.

"Since its inception, the program has focused on imparting the latest management concepts and practices that are relevant to the regional and global market. All five streams of specialization that we teach are industries that are booming in the region and internationally. In addition to class work, we also lay great stress on giving practical knowledge to our students through case studies, research, fieldwork and soft skills. These are the primary requisites that the corporate world is seeking when hiring its future managers and this factor has been the key to the success of our placement initiatives." said Prof.Christopher Abraham, Vice President

The emoluments that the placed PGDM students have been offered are amongst the best in their respective sectors. The average salary for the batch is Dirhams 78000 per annum, with the top salary exceeding Dirhams 175,000, plus benefits. "One of the key reasons why our students have managed to get such good offers is because they have studied locally," said Suresh Kumar, General Manager, and Corporate Relations at SPJCM. "Till now, most companies hire managers who have studied abroad. This is, at best, a compromise, as a management graduate who passes out of a local business school has a much better grasp of regional business realities than someone who comes from outside."

Enrolment for the next batch of the full time Global MBA Program at SPJCM is complete and will start on June 10th 2006 at the Dubai campus and on July 4th.at the Singapore campus
