Placements Placements

Sreeram Iyer, from the Class of 2014 (and one of the most-loved alums from O week) tells us about his three biggest takeaways from the placement process. Read on!

1) Be patient and apply to profiles you like
If everyone were to get placed by Day 1, we would not have good companies and profiles coming till Day 5 and more!

2) ISB has a brand name and a good alum base
You can afford to take a risk with a profile you want to experiment (not an obvious choice) and are interested in. Lateral shifts are always an option, if it does not work out.

3) Do not stress yourself over placements
Work hard, be sincere, invest time on your resume, read up on your area of interest and interact with alumni with similar profiles. Most importantly, indulge in what keeps you upbeat (music, sports, time with friends etc) as all the hard work goes in vain if you are not in your best frame of mind during an interview.
