Qualitative Analysis: Trends in the placement process

Profile over Salary - Students prefer profiles over Salary

The year saw a considerable increase in the salaries offered by the companies as well as entry of newer companies. But the significant observation was the preference of candidates was for profiles as opposed to salaries. The BPO sector, which was one of the highest paying, saw a few takers while niche finance profiles like treasury and risk management saw the maximum interest generated.
