Record Performance in Campus Placements at TAPMI, Manipal

The T. A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI) held its campus placements for students graduating in March 2006 on December 26, 2005. In what can be described as record performance, almost all students were "placed" within a few hours of commencement of the process.

In a press release issued here, Chairman, Placement Cell of TAPMI, Prof. Raghunath Rudran, said that for the first time, TAPMI adopted a novel scheme where the students could make a preferential choice among the companies. A total of 30 companies participated and made 145 offers to 127 students.

The average salary offered this year is Rs. 5.74 lakhs, a 30 percent increase over the previous year. The highest salary is Rs. 7.75 lakhs offered by Wipro Technologies.

Among the large recruiters on the campus were Infosys (45), Citigroup (11), ICICI (10), HDFC (9), CRISIL (8), and Wipro (6).

Among the industry sectors, IT and financial services (including banking) were the major recruiters. Some of the companies that visited for the first time included Accenture, Godrej Boyce, HSBC, and Cognizant Technologies.

With this year's placement achievement, TAPMI has now set the stage for future strategic growth plans that will also see a modern new campus in Manipal.
