In 1992, Vikram Achanta was briefly before the end of his MBA at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. After months of meetings, presentations by companies and fill the forms and waiting periods for short lists, Achanta took on the scene to interview Cadburys.
But how was the degree of stress, a nervous wreck. “I watched quite psyched if I entered,” said the entrepreneur 30-something.
“So Rajeev Bakshi (currently, MD, Pepsico, then India for the recruitment of Cadbury) asked me to relax and take a cup of tea.” Achanta still remember that the gesture of what he describes as one of the periods of stress in his life.
Thirteen years after the line, if Achanta were again IIMC, he finds that not much changed. The PPTs (pre-mediation talks), lists, Line-Up by GDS and interviews - the intense pressure.
During talks Achanta free - perhaps because he is an entrepreneur - most of the former refuse IIM, go to the minutes of their experiences. After the conversation with a cross-section (under the condition of anonymity) is what we found.
The process is begun with a number of pre-placement discussions - a selling point by companies to students about four months before the placement week. Students, then send your applications and you can expect short lists.
Finally, the placement during the week of companies fighting companies and students are fighting students to realize their desires. It is increasingly stressful and here, as there is always worse.
The coveted status One Day in 1990, is over. IIMC Day had a less during the year 2004, while IIMA offered 48-hour pitches from the first day “Zero Two.
Position the week is now divided into slots, so that the high priority day may be all the greater number of companies as possible, because everyone wants at this site, any day it really is .
Instead of three or four companies in the 1990’s, there are now 10-12 in the first slot and 30-odd in each of the following locations.
If a student met three or four interviews in one day today, it is common that seven to eight GDS and interviews will succeed one day.
Any emphasis on the placement of a cargo of 100, sometimes more than 200 in less than a week is an hour, asks his tribute to the students in the form of stress, and as regards companies which are not enough time for a candidate to be evaluated.
This is best illustrated by the fact that a very high percentage of students leave the offer acquires, by investing campus in the first year.
While nobody has an official record of such information, most HR and students agree that this trend is on the ground. In the case of a consultancy firm in India, rented eight-B-School graduates in the year 1999 for their office in New Delhi, almost all left within 18 months.
