According to CoolAvenues.com, consulting is hiring more new Indian MBAs this year than is the usual leader, finance. In a generally sluggish MBA recruiting season in India, “The Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Co are on record hiring this placement season”:
• BCG, for example, fired 17 Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) MBAs this year versus only 11 last year.
• McKinsey hired 17 graduates from Indian School of Business (ISB) Hyderabad as well as “good numbers” of IIMA MBAs.
• These firms are offering salaries between Rs 22 lakh (US$44,766) and Rs 27 lakh (US$54,944) for graduates taking jobs at their India offices.
Most Indian business schools will have concluded their 2012 recruiting/placement season by the first week of March, CoolAvenues.com reports.
