The 2016 edition of the BT-MDRA Best B-schools survey comes in the backdrop of renewed faith in traditional sectors such as consulting, FMCG, marketing and manufacturing, and offers deep insights.
Old favourites among employers continue to hold sway on B-school campuses. For a brief while, the exuberance of e-commerce and the tech sector start-ups had cornered the spotlight: they offered variety and excitement, and paid well, too, some of them offering starting salaries of more than ₹20 lakh per year. While they remain in demand, there is an increasing air of caution among B-school graduates while looking at the opportunities they offer. In contrast, the traditional heavyweights – leading consultancy firms, banks, consumer goods companies, automobile manufacturers – continue to gain strength.
Consider the case of Siddharth Raman, 27, a student of the batch of 2014-16 at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A). Raman joined a global consultancy he prefers not to name. “I considered and evaluated a couple of offers – one from a start-up and the other from a product company,” he says. “Eventually I chose the place I’ve joined because my larger goal was always to enter public policy through consulting.”
