Management Consultancy has emerged as the most popular sector amongst students of the 2008 batch of Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Nielsen Campus Track–B School Survey 2007. Investment Banking (31%), Foreign Banks (24%) and Software/IT Consultancy/IT Service (24%) follow as the next most popular sectors for students from the six IIMs across the country.
MNC consultancy firms like BCG, McKinsey & Co., and Goldman and Sachs are some of the companies rated as the preferred prospective employers this year. McKinsey & Co. was rated by 40 percent of the students interviewed as their “Dream Company” to join.
Nielsen Campus Track B-school 2007 surveyed students' perceptions about companies and their considerations as they evaluate prospective employers. 349 students from the latest batch of IIM due to graduate in 2008 were interviewed along with students from other important management institutes in the country.
“Management Consultancies have always been favourite and most sought-after prospective employees among management graduates, specially the IIMs. This can be attributed to their stamp value in the market, good job content in terms of contributing to strategic thinking and great pay package,” said Vatsala Pant, Associate Director, Client Solutions, The Nielsen Company, India.
In terms of the sector showing greatest promise for the future, “Retailing” tops the list with 39 percent students going for it, followed by Private Equity Investors (26%) and Investment Banks (24%).
