year's placement season startedat IIFM. The inaugural com-

pany was Basix. On day-zero

of placement week (Nov 22,

2010 to Nov 28, 2010) three

students got placed. After threeand half months later almost

whole batch was placed and100% placement target have

been achieved for 2009-2011

batch.

son were:

cation Pvt. Ltd, MP-CDM

MSME Clusters, General Car-

bon, SRIJAN, Deloitte India,

Many senior batch studentssaid "This year might be, pack-

age is not what we expected

but, if we see in terms of pro-

files and positions that the

students got, are what they

desired and better than previ-

ous year."

On similar note the scenario of

Internships this year, for PFM-

2012 batch, initially showed a

slower pace. When we asked

Internship Committee about

this they said "We have many

good Internships offers in our

hands, but, they will be uselessif people wont apply to them".

But at the end of the day what

matters is, all got some place to

go and do their SI project. The

batch of 92 (Which is now

reduced to 88) have got intern-

ship offers from various giants

in this sector. The complete

report for this year‟s scenario

will be made public by SI and

Placement committee.

Why women can't put on mas-

cara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the

headline 'Psychic Wins Lot-

tery'?

Why is 'abbreviated' such a

your money called a broker?

If con is the opposite of pro, is

Congress the opposite of pro-

gress?

If flying is so safe, why do they

call the airport the terminal?

Why do they sterilize the nee-

dle for lethal injections?
