Students of Batch 2021-23 after getting placed during Placement 2023

Postgraduate management institutes play a critical role in shaping the careers of their students. While the quality of education and resources offered by a B-School is imperative, successful placements are equally important. It not only reflects the B-School's credibility, but also provides assurance to the students that their commitment to a rigorous postgraduate education has given them the expected returns.

During the recent pandemic-induced lockdowns, B-Schools around the world faced significant challenges in terms of placements. Moreover, the pandemic, and the economic downturn undergoing after it, have caused numerous multinational corporations to cut jobs and lay off employees. Despite the fact that many organizations have reduced their workforce and downsizing has become a necessity for several others, top corporates have continued to keep their trust and faith in the quality of students and andragogy practiced at Globsyn Business School (GBS), as the B-School closed its placements this year in February, almost a month ahead of the preceding years.

Placement 2023 at GBS witnessed over 1500 job opportunities from nearly 100 corporates being offered to the students across 25+ sectors including BFSI, Consulting & Services, Fintech, Research & Analysis, FMCG/FMCD, amongst others. This year, the highest CTC offered was 23.34 LPA, with the second and third highest CTCs offered being 20.14 LPA and 13.58 LPA, respectively. 

Rahul Dasgupta, Director and Trustee, GBS said, “Our consistent performance over the years is a testament to the relationship that we have built with the corporates that goes beyond recruitment – this year too we experienced a significant increase of 49.3% in average CTC compared to 2020. As our brand has matured over time, the industry's trust in the ability of brand 'GBS' to assist them in recruiting relevant resources in these ever-evolving times has also grown.” 

“At GBS, we are engaged with the industry through various initiatives around the year like Corporate Connects, Boardroom Simulations, Management Development Programs, Mentorship Programs, Seminars & Conferences, and Consulting Engagements, which enable us to stay on top of the market trends and constantly bridge the gap of industry-relevant resources. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our corporate partners for working with us and integrating with the B-School over the years in multiple capacities, including placement,” added Rahul. Supported by a worldwide network of 3500+ alumni and an erudite pool of faculty, the B-School’s Corporate Relationship Program team and Knowledge Cell are manned by a dedicated squad of highly motivated professionals who are at the center of these ongoing industry-academic alliances that align the needs of the industry, the B-School, and the students – this has allowed GBS to impart the relevant skills to the right person to the fit the right job, continuously over the last two decades.

Akriti Sharma, Batch 2021-23 and Vice President - Student Council, GBS, who will soon be joining the corporate world said, “My quest for a good management institute with placement led me to Globsyn Business School. Thanks to the B-School’s nouveau initiatives like Globsyn Alumni Engage, Globsyn Alumni Mentorship Program, and countless grooming sessions that help us to sharpen our employability quotient, I got placed in one of the fastest growing industries. Two years ago, I made a life changing decision to join Globsyn Business School – a decision I will never ever regret. Today, I’m proud of beginning my corporate journey with my alma mater.”

Considered to be one of the best Private B-Schools in Eastern India, GBS today, reflects a holistic education ecosystem that brings together educational best practices with the most relevant curriculum structure, real-life corporate exposure, and a plethora of Beyond Education initiatives that hone the management skills of the students through practical experiences. Namrata Dutta, Batch 2021-23 and President - Kalyani Youth Leadership Forum, GBS, who got placed at one of the Big Four, said, “I think Globsyn Business School is the only B-School that focuses on student development. Along with academics, the various activities of Beyond Education like Serendipity, Embryon, KYLF activities, etc., have shaped me into becoming a compassionate and industry-relevant manager. I would like to thank GBS for giving me this opportunity and moulding me into the person that I am today.”
