Share
Birla Global University reported a strong placement season this year, with recruiters from more than 20 sectors hiring across consulting, finance, IT and core industries. The university also saw a rise in offers in the ₹17 lakh per annum range, reflecting growing demand for specialised roles.
Companies such as Ernst & Young, Deloitte, ADP, Lloyds Banking Group, Tata Consultancy Services and Federal Bank were among the key recruiters. Hiring spanned sectors such as banking, BFSI, consulting, FMCG, healthcare, logistics and technology.
In the management stream, ADP hired five students for analyst roles, while Lloyds Technology Centre recruited nine students from MBA and M.Com programmes. Federal Bank offered roles with a package of ₹17 lakh per annum. Consulting firms also saw strong participation, with EY alone hiring 28 students. In a smaller but notable move, UltraTech Cement recruited three women MBA graduates.
Technology roles continued to attract students from programmes like MCA, BCA and data science, with companies including TCS and Tech Mahindra offering positions in software development and analytics. Law students secured roles with firms such as Poovayya & Co., while journalism graduates were picked up by public relations firms including Adfactors PR and Burson.
“The participation of leading organisations reflects the trust industry places in our students,” said Dr Satyakama Mishra, Dean Outreach and International Affairs at the university.
Students said the focus on training and industry exposure helped them prepare for hiring processes. “The placement process has been transformative,” said Pratyush Mansingh, an MBA student.
With recruiters cutting across sectors and roles, the placement season points to a broader trend. Universities are no longer feeding into a few core industries. Instead, hiring is spreading across newer sectors, with companies looking for skills that cut across domains.
