Faculties and seniors help students to align their skills and talent with the long-term vision of the institute. We ensure that students learn lessons that are relevant to the industry and try to be exceptional in whatever they do so that they can become benchmarks for students of other B-schools. The exceptional placement drive we witnessed this year is a result of consistent efforts and hard work put in by the Placement officer, Dr. Sudhakar Gaonkar, and the Placement Committee. We thank our legacy recruiters, new recruiters who welcomed our students. And finally, it was the hard work of our students and the commitment of our faculty and staff which helped us register this phenomenal feat. "
