The year saw a culmination of the various improvement initiatives in Academics as well as Corporate Focus. Innovation in Pedagogy, Curriculum redesign based upon the feedback of Corporates were some of the initiatives that were completed. A special initiative was launched for students so that they could target their dream companies better. All these initiatives have resulted in better placements, better job profiles, higher CTC and an MBA who is better prepared for Industry. Another trend which is clear is that PGDM and PGDM – IB Placements are neck to neck. Prof. Rajneesh Chauhan, the Chair Placements sees yet another year of successful placements. The fact that companies come year after year is a manifestation of the faith that Corporates have in students of FORE School of Management.
