ADVISOR’S NOTE

The Placement Season of 2012-13 has been a

remarkable one and it gives me great pleasure

to present the Annual Placement Report for the

same. Lady Shri Ram College has continued its

tradition of being the best in placements across

the country. LSR secured the number one rank

in the Week Survey for Best Colleges in the

country, and the number two rank in the India Today Nielsen

Survey. There were five themes of evaluation, Job Prospects was

one of them. It’s a matter of great honour and pride for the cell. The

Placement Cell has been lauded for its organized and efficient

working and professionalism. There were over 90 companies on

campus this season visiting for placements and internships. This

number is comprised of a diversified mix of consultancies, retail,

media houses, investment banks, NGOs, publishing houses, schools

& research organizations.Over 300 students participated in the

placement process from all the departments. Over 100 students

have been placed in this academic session. The average package was

Rs. 6.5 lakhs per annum, the highest pay package being Rs. 13 lakhs

per annum.All the courses offered by LSR continue to be in high

demand in the industry. I am confident that through the Placement

Cell, we will provide a strong human resource base to the

organizations and a platform to our students to shape up their

personalities and achieve their career goals. After all, we believe in

possibilities not in limits.

COORDINATOR’S NOTE

“I had the privilege of being associated with one

of the most important societies at LSR – The

Placement Cell. With the support of our Principal,

Vice Principal and Advisor, the year 2012-13 saw

a substantial increase in the number companies

looking to hire young minds from LSR both in the

form of placements and internships. We were

fortunate to invite Barclays, JSW, The Times of

India, BHP Billiton, Bain & Company among many others for

internships. As a result of our efforts to diversify portfolios,

companies such as Educational Initiatives, Michael Page and Wieden

+ Kennedy recruited students for the positions of Academic

Mentors, HR Consultants and Advertising Executives.

The Placement Cell has been able to achieve its annual goals under

the mentorship of our staff advisor, Dr. Arvind Kumar. My team has

been a pillar of support and together we worked with zest and zeal.

Being actively involved in the placement process has helped me

hone my organizational, communication and leadership skills. I

hope the year 2013-14 brings new opportunities for our students

and the Placement Cell Union continues to welcome more

organisations to hire the talent at LSR. “

Coordinator’s Note

“Its not true success unless it gets repeated”

And in our case, gets repeated four times. Rated as the

Best Arts College four times in a row by highly acclaimed

surveys, Lady Shri Ram College has remained a haven for

the many aspiring minds and renowned recruiters for a

very long time. What this college makes of its students at

the end of three years is clearly reflected in the record

breaking placements we have every year and this year too we repeat the

tradition. Therefore, we are ecstatic to present the Annual Report of Placement

Cell for the year 2012-13. This year, we focused on internships and getting a

diverse set companies for all 15 courses the college offers. The efforts of the

entire Placement Cell, faculty and administration finally bore fruits as 94

companies visited the College for placements.

What remained the most striking feature of this year’s placement season was

not just the large number of companies coming to the college but in fact our

success in achieving the goal set for the year. The internships improved in both

quality and quantity. The second goal of challenging the market notion of

placements being solely for the so-called ‘mathematical based disciplines’ was

also met with great panache. We saw diversity in job profiles and companies

looking for talent irrespective of the educational backgrounds. This was one of

the most important achievements of the year and it gives us immense pride in

having accomplished this. Overall, the year 2012-13, remains the most

wonderful and memorable year for Placement Cell as we surpassed so many

hurdles and learnt from our mistakes. I am sure that the year 2013-14 will bring

in only much brighter prospects for the college and the new Placement Cell will

achieve much higher feats. I wish the students and the Cell best of luck for the

year ahead. Make the most of what this college has to offer to you!

COORDINATOR’S NOTE

“The year 2012-13 had been remarkable in

terms of Lady Shri Ram College’s performance

in Placements. The year saw the regular

visitors to the campus such as Deutsche Bank,

Bain Capability Centre, The Essex Lake Group,

McKinsey and Co. and D.E. Shaw and Co. Few

notable additions to the list this year were

The Monitor Group, Weiden and Kennedy and

Takshashila Consulting.

All events on-campus were conducted with the greatest level of

efficiency and Lady Shri Ram College continued to impress

recruiters with its hospitality. In the words of the Recruiting team

from Weiden and Kennedy, “No college has these high standards of

hospitality and management.” With a supporting team and an

extremely helpful and calm advisor- Arvind Sir, the process became

much easier and fruitful. We have managed to retain the average

package to 4.5-5 lpa in spite of the slumps and economy down

surges.

Lady Shri Ram College for Women is all set to compete with the

professional degree colleges and become the top recruitment

avenue for companies looking for fresh vibrant young talent in

India.”

STUDENTS SPEAK

“I was recruited by McKinsey and Company in October last year. The

process was extremely smooth and comfortable and the Placement

Cell conveyed all important information regarding the process

regularly. The pre placement talk was well attended and well

managed by the cell, and went off without a glitch despite it being

the very first company on campus. The interviews workshop

organised by the company was also very beautifully co-ordinated by

the cell co-ordinators. On the day of the interviews, I had the full

support of the cell and was fortunate to land the job. I give the cell

full credit for getting a reputable company like McKinsey to come

for placements at LSR, thus providing a brilliant career option for

the students.”

SHAILAJA TAPARIA

"The recruitment process set up by the LSR Placement Cell was

extremely smooth and robust. Educational Initiatives was the

second company on campus and we had a great Pre-Placement talk

by them. I was extremely impressed by their vision of "a World

where Children everywhere are learning with Understanding."

During the entire process we were provided with constant support

by both the company and the Placement Cell. Even during the

interview process, which went on for hours, the Placement Cell

members were actively involved. It's been great working

for Educational Initiatives over the past month. At EI, I am glad to

have met so many like-minded people. The work is invigorating,

Page 12 of 18

and I feel that am learning and growing every day. It is great to be

part of a company which consciously tries to inculcate practices of

giving back to the community, an exemplary example is EI's

Mindspark Centres, which allow students of the urban poor section

access to a better education via Mindspark, our trademark

product. I truly believe that the development of the education

sector can lead to a kinder, braver, better world and I feel that EI is a

great place for working on the same.

“The recruitment process of The Smart Cube for its editorial

department was a rigorous one, involving five rounds of verbal and

written tests, and two rounds of interviews. All of these tested

language and editing skills, and one's ability to fit in with the

company's ethos and practices. The other candidates were BA

(Honours) English and MA English students from Delhi University

colleges. I am the only one that has been recruited by The Smart

Cube as an editor. I am grateful to the Placement Cell for procuring

such an excellent job opportunity for English (Honours) students,

and glad that my education at LSR allowed me to take advantage of

this opportunity.”

disciplines offered by the college. Most companies

preferred a mixed batch of recruits who came from varied

companies.

CSR Wing at Placement Cell

The CSR Wing at Placement Cell, a brain child of Dr. Meenakshi Gopinath and

worked upon by our advisor, Dr. Arvind Kumar, was dedicated towards the

specially-abled students in terms of providing them with equal placement

opportunities. The coordinator, Shailaja Taparia, along with the Wing’s

members helped these students make integral career choices. Lalita from the

Hindi department was recruited by SBI, making the CSR initiative a fruitful one.

INTERNSHIPS AT LSR

The academic year of 2012-2013 was very successful in terms of internship opportunities for

the students of LSR. Various companies like Barclays, JSW, The Times Of India, CPE Advisory,

PWC, AmbitionME, Rakshak Foundation, Knowcross Solutions, SkillHippo, Fluidra, among many

others, recruited interns from LSR.

INTERNS SPEAK

INTERNSHIP AT BARCLAYS -Akanksha Sinha

“The journey to bagging Barclay’s Summer Internship began with a talk that was organised by

the Placement Cell at LSR. A very well organised seminar, it played a pivotal role in making me

aware of The journey to bagging Barclay’s Summer Internship began with a talk that was

organised by the Placement Cell at LSR. A very well organised seminar, it played a pivotal role in

making me aware of the Programme-its pre-requisites, various rounds and more importantly the

importance of its impact on my CV.

The first step was a rigorous series of two tests which assessed mental aptitude, awareness and

technique with speed. Clearing the tests opened the doors of the second round-the Group

Assessments, followed by the final interview round. The Placement Cell was very supportive and

co-operative throughout - answering queries and providing appropriate information. I managed

to get through the extensive interview and get the much coveted summer internship at Barclays.

It was an amazing experience!!

I am thankful to the placement cell co-ordinators and LSR for the support and a platform to help

achieve my career goals. “

INTERNSHIP AT JSW -Meghna Jain

JSW, one of the largest Indian steel conglomerates, came to LSR on an invitation by the

placement cell to recruit students for their summer internship programme from May’13 to July

13. JSW SIP was a one of its kind internship which was open to all undergraduate students from

different academic backgrounds. This 10 week program gave the students an opportunity to get

associated and work with a global brand in core economic sectors..

The attractive feature of the internship was that the most outstanding interns would walk away

with a pre-placement offer which is a direct entry into JSW’s fast track graduation rotation

programme. Being such a prestigious and highly demanding internship, JSW kept a grueling 3

round recruitment process in order to select the desirable interns. The entire recruitment process

organized by the placement cell at college was extremely efficient and smooth. The two months

spent at JSW was a life turning experience for all the interns who undertook the internship. I

would like to thank placement cell, LSR for acquainting us with this wonderful opportunity.
