Indian MBA Students Say They Are Willing to Work for Less
ncreasing apprehension among India’s top MBA students regarding campus placements in the wake of the Wall Street crisis in the U.S. may be a good opportunity for other employers to hire world-class talent at cheaper salaries, industry sources say.
For the elite of the six Indian Institutes of Management, India’s premier business schools, “Destination Wall Street” was not only a highly enticing career move but also an unspoken quest for permanent residency in the U.S. But with Wall Street’s recent upheaval, students are cautiously looking at alternatives that offer more security. Perhaps unprecedented in India, salaries now have taken a back seat to stability.
Wall Street firms Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs have been the largest recruiters at India’s schools, hiring the best talent for investment banking jobs. The companies have lured IIM’s talent with lucrative pay packages and incentives, offering starting salaries of $120,000 to $360,000.
“Investment banking was the most sought-after career option. Its unfortunate fate will be a big setback for students working toward a job in these firms,” says professor Sushil Kumar, placement chairman of IIM Lucknow.
As of March, 34 percent of the 290 students at IIM Calcutta opted for financial services. Thirty-two students received offers at investment banks. The highest pay package was reportedly $330,000.
Just two weeks before Lehman announced bankruptcy September 14, two students from the graduating class of 2009 had received pre-placement offers for its London office. But then news of Lehman’s demise surfaced, and their discussions quickly turned to “if only” and “now what?”
“I was obviously shocked and disappointed when I saw the news, but now I have come to terms with it,” said Rounak Agarwal, one of the two students selected by Lehman. “I will now wait for the final placements in March 2009 and try to bag an offer from any investment bank. If not, consulting would be my second choice. An assessment of the risk factor of the firm will take precedence over brand and salary package.”

IIM-L to organize programme on Corporate Social Responsibility
Lucknow: The Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L) has announced a three-day programme on Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Sustainability from December 18-20, 2008 at its Lucknow campus.
The programme is designed for middle and senior level managers and professionals in the corporate and non-corporate sectors who are connected in any way with managing their organizations on a sustainable basis. The programme will also appeal to consultants and non-governmental organizations.
“CSR has become increasingly significant in the current business scenario. Businesses, all across the globe, have started facing a business environment, which comprises not only traditional stakeholders, but also large numbers of non-traditional stakeholders - institutionalized community groups, environmental NGOs, minority groups, media and the society at large. Businesses, in order to perform in a sustainable manner, have to be responsive to the needs, demands and expectations of all these stakeholders", a spokesperson at IIM Lucknow said.
“In past two decades, business climate has radically changed and consequently, the rules of the competitive race are being rewritten. In order to gain competitive edge, firms need to adopt socially responsible strategies and deepen relationships with stakeholders. This training will sensitize corporate managers to various issues of CSR and expose them to international developments in sustainable business management", the spokesperson further said.
“In India, till very recently, the focus was on charity, which is not really CSR. Sustainable CSR programmes mean a cohesive mix of economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic tenets. In today’s changed business scenario, there is an increased focus on giving back to society and creating a model which works long term and is sustainable and it is imperative that the best practices for inclusive growth are shared with the stakeholders", said Prof. Sushil Kumar, Programme Director.
Countless social and ethical issues frame relationship between business and various stakeholders including government and society.
Recent rash of scandals involving major corporate giants throughout the world have brought to the attention of public and academia the need to analyze these issues.
As corporate India struggles to finds its social and ethical identity in national and global business environment that grows increasingly complex, managers are confronted with exceedingly difficult challenges in balancing their economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities to the variety of stakeholder groups with which they interact.
The programme will dwell on the following modules to ensure that the participants will be exposed to the current international and domestic CSR initiatives and the need thereof.

IIM-Lucknow study points to poor nutrition levels of mid-day meals
Lucknow Thousands of primary and upper primary students across the state are not getting the required amount of nutrition in their mid-day meals, according to a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (IIM-L).
The study was conducted recently as part of evaluation of the mid-day meal scheme by the Uttar Pradesh Mid-Day Meal (MDM) Authority for its better implementation. The study stated that a poor student-teacher ratio and bad infrastructure in most schools also affect the MDM’s quality.
The study was conducted in 10 districts of Mirzapur, Jhansi, Balia, Etah, Gorakhpur, Pilibhit, Meerut, Lucknow, Kaushambi and Jhansi. It showed that 25 per cent of the schools surveyed had only one teacher, while 50 per cent of them were being managed by just two teachers.
“The study revealed that schools in Etah, Jhansi and Meerut were being run by Shiksha Mitra. Similarly, infrastructure of schools in most of these districts is also not up to the mark. While a majority of schools in Jhansi and Meerut had no classrooms, those in Bijnaur, Etah, Mirzapur and Gorakhpur had to study in one room. Due to this, the quality of MDM being provided there had deteriorated,” said a senior MDM official.
Santosh Rai, Additional Director, MDM Authority, said, “Despite being part of the menu, we have been receiving regular complaints that vegetables are hardly included in the meals.” Rai said that in view of the study, a meeting of the Additional Basic Shiksha Adhikari and Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA) was held earlier this week to ensure that the students get the requisite supply of nutrition at the local level.
“A presentation in this regard was made before us and we have asked them to make certain technical changes. The final report will be submitted on December 15. We will forward the report to the ‘Education for All’ and the Primary Education department so that the issues highlighted in the study is looked into,” said Rai.
“We are also keeping a watch on the introduction of the MDM scheme by the Mahila Samakhya Sangha (MSS), a non-government organisation,” he added. The MSS, which will launch the scheme next month, will grow vegetables in its kitchen gardens using organic farming methods, and provide nutritional food at cheaper rates.
Last year, an assessment of 18 districts was made on the basis of a field survey conducted by Giri Institute and the Lucknow University.

Global turmoil doesn’t hit IIM-C placements
Brushing aside apprehensions regarding impact of the prevailing global crisis, Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM-C) has managed to uphold its reputation of being the top choice of recruiters yet again. The institute has managed to lure the highest number of companies at its summer placement which was conducted recently.
The rigorous planning and methodical efforts undertaken by the institute to counter the effects of the global meltdown finally succeeded with around 110 companies participating at the placement process. The institute claims to have received the highest recruiters this year.
The entire batch of over 300 students were offered the widest possible range of sectors and job profiles. Students were offered prestigious roles in investment banking, consulting, general management, marketing, media and private equity. In fact students had more options to choose from this time.
Around 100 students managed to grab position in prestigious companies like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, McKinsey, Macquarie, AT Kearney, BCG, Bain, HSBC Global, JP Morgan Chase, Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank, RBS, Rothschild and French investment bank Calyon.
Amongst these Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland preferred to recruit the highest number of students from IIM-C this year. Similarly, couple of positions were also bagged in Morgan Stanley London and two of the biggest names in Swiss banking, UBS and Credit Suisse.
Other than India, offers have come from across continents like the USA, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Middle East.
While investment banks recruited 58 students, the consulting offers stood at 16. Offers also came from a variety of domains including retail, general management, marketing and commercial banking. Some of the major marketing names this year included P&G, Unilever, Diageo, Pepsi, Nestle and ITC among others.
It is for the first time that companies like Yahoo, Amazon, Provogue, DHL Logistics, Reebok, Century Ply and the Mahindra Group participated in the summer placement. Apart from this, HT Media, Times Group and Star TV selected students interested in the emerging media sector.
“This year, companies from a wide range of sectors like marketing, finance, media, logistics and supply chain management, general management, public sector undertaking and analytic firms recruited students from this institute. Although the trend shows that finance sector continues to remain the preferred sector of choice, marketing has also seen an increase along with consulting,” said Mr Debtosh Mishra, external relations secretary of IIM-C

More government servants enrol for special IIM-A programme
A retired soldier, a doctor and an IAS officer are among 39 participants who have enrolled for a special programme at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, (IIM-A) aimed to enhance skills and broaden perspectives in public policy formulation.
This year, the postgraduate programme in public management and policy (PGP-PMP) at IIM-A has 39 students, of which 20 are government servants, a marked improvement over last year which saw fewer participants from the public sector.
IIM-A professor Sebastian Morris, who heads the programme, said at a media interaction on Friday: “We are looking for (financial) support from all types of organisations. I want more government participation and talks are underway in this regard. Benefits of improving governance helps the society at large including the private enterprise.”
Underlining public management today is restricted to private sector, he said that the Administrative Reforms Commission is discussing how civil services can be opened to the private sector. “Our problem is that the government service is cadre-based recruitment,” he added.
Students of the second batch, starting in April 2008, had a wealth of experiences to share at the interaction. All of them had undergone six to eight weeks courses between August and October on international attachment module in renowned institutions in four different foreign universities, with which the IIM-A has tied up.
The institutions included the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences of the University of Geneva, Lyndon Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin, the Georgetown Public Policy Institute, Georgetown University, and the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management, Carnegie Mellon University.

Crisis takes a toll on IIM placements
As the current global economic crisis begins to engulf emerging nations including India, silence speaks louder than words at India’s topmost business school IIM Ahmedabad.
Though placement season usually brings the noises of a booming economy, but this year the global recession has brought down a sharp cut in salaries.
The job offers for IIM-A students have come down by about 42 per cent while overseas placements take a serious hit by declining over 60 per cent. It is a familiar situation not just at all IIMs but at other premier b-schools across India too.
“After Lehman Brothers became the most high-profile victim of the global credit crunch in September, we failed to understand the seriousness of the problem. The crisis has not only affected the markets of north America but far beyond which are normally the cream market for b-school graduates for their overseas placements,” said Dr Bakul Dholakia, vice chairman, Institute of Infrastructure Management.
This certainly means more students will now have to look for domestic jobs, thus, in turn giving Indian recruiters reasons to rejoice. And the biggest gainers are both private and nationalised banks. Also gaining for the first time, in a long while, are old economy companies.
“It was a talent drift, if not drain and today these top graduates are looking at opportunities in a diversified sectors which earlier was not there. The placement process was completely divided into 70 per cent to financial sector and rest 30 put together in all other sectors – that is now being changed and for good,” said Dr Anil Gupta, senior faculty, IIM-A.
At the moment the jobs situation in the market is highlighted by the fact that a large chunk of graduates have decided to opt out from placement process this year to study further and wait for the recession to fade out. While others have decided to set up businesses themselves hoping to make the most of a desperate situation.
