Long time no see?

Well, its been an awfully long time since I last blogged (yup, 2 months is quite a long time)....I somehow feel that I have slowly mastered the art of feeling and looking busy on the outside, though on the inside.....things may be monotonous, a bit boring.

Yeah.....may be I have fallen into what one may call as 'routine'......have been lately having some regular classes and assignments which have somehow kept me occupied, along with extra heavy dosage of IMpress wrk (student media relations committee of NITIE).....drudgery, hah.

One good thing which has brightened my spirits is the excellent, fantabulous placements. Placements went along on expected lines....bringing smiles to all 98 ppl in the senior batch. The important factor one needs to look into a B-Schools placement figures is- the lowest salary one bags.

Well, frankly speaking its amazing..... that the gap between the highest and lowest salaries at NITIE is very small (according to me the difference is the smallest among all the top 10 B-Schools in India). Its an awesome feeling if a fresher from an engineering college with no work experience at all gets a minimum of INR 6 lacs p.a., on passing out from NITIE!!!!

Well, that has been the scenario this year (I hope we can expect the same next year!!). The average and median pay packages have been another comforting factor (both zooming well over and above the 8 lac mark).

Ah.....am I boring you with stats?? oh,oki......tats enough about placements.....!

The other important thing which has just come out is the the GD/PI shortlist for NITIE. Good to see a lot of prfile based selections (more like the SP Jain model) than just selections on sole criteria of CAT scores!

Ciao till next time...Harsha
