How is an Mba HR placement in Amity University Noida?
The placement scenario at Amity University Noida for MBA HR stream cannot be considered that great but a student may get decent opportunities during campus placement drives as it depends largely on the capabilities and hard-work of the student itself.
The main reason for which is that not many companies visit the campus to hire students with MBA in HR profile which is the main reason for increased competition among students.
Secondly one should be careful while choosing the right institute (B-school) for the course as within Noida campus they have three institutes offering MBA courses within it which are:
-
Amity Business School (ABS)
-
Amity International Business School (AIBS)
-
Amity Global Business School (AGBS)
Since all the three above mentioned institutes are in Noida one should be careful while choosing the right institute. Specially if you are seriously looking in terms of placements then Amity Business School will be the best possible choice for you as it is the flagship program of Amity University so you can go for that since the other two institutes are a bit lacking when compared to ABS i.e. Amity Business School especially in terms of academics, exposure etc.
At last, the student profile is what matters the most during campus placements. If you are a fresher with excellent academic records, and one who has been actively indulged in extra-curricular activities or have some previous work experience in the field (through internships etc.) along with excellent communication skills then your chances of being hired increases.
Although you cannot expect extravagant salary packages as the average package offered is around INR 3-4 lakhs per annum with the highest package ranging between INR 6-8 lakhs per annum.
Some of the recruiters regarding this department that visit the university for campus placement drives include ERNST & YOUNG, DELOITTE, ZYCUS etc.
