I would personally like to appreciate the student placement reps for being extremely approachable and regular with all updates regarding each and every company. This placement process provided multiple opportunities across different corporate fields and roles to us students and the different selection routines of companies helped us gain the much-needed exposure into corporate world.”

“I still remember the month when placements were about to start. I felt very concerned about the process just like any other candidate would feel who is new to this process. But when companies started coming with time, the journey was made very smooth because of the dedicated efforts by our placement coordinator Claudius Sir, and our placement representatives Aneesh and Harshita. Eventually, I got placed in PWC India as a cyber security analyst under the risk consulting division. I am really excited to join the job and am grateful for the learning which I have received from my professors. Choosing Economics honours was a right decision I made as it helped me to grow as an individual and helped me land a career in consultancy.” – Ritwic Kumar, BA Economics Honours (PWC)
