Even though companies reduced hiring due to a difficult economic scenario, special profiles were offered for participants with prior work experience. 27 pre-placement offers were made to the participants on account of the Autumns Internships. The placement season also saw participants bagging foreign offers in the areas of consulting and general management.
One participant opted out of the placements to setup an independent venture. The institute has supported entrepreneurship by providing incubation to start-ups at the campus. Participants have a choice to take up entrepreneurship and then return after two years for normal placements if they wish. The entrepreneurship Cell at SPJIMR also has tie ups with organizations like TiE and NEN.
