The Economic Times: Cognizant Ranked the Top Recruiter from Premier B-Schools in India for the Third Year

The Economic Times, a top selling business daily, has ranked Cognizant as the top recruiter from premier B-schools in India across industry sectors for the third year in the running.

Cognizant topped the paper’s annual ranking of B-school recruiters with 192 offers across 22 premier B-schools in India that were considered for the study.

The paper compiled hiring data from nearly 100 companies to put together the fifth edition of the top recruiters list.

In a special report, the paper writes: “Cognizant retained its first place for the third year running, making as many as 192 offers at these campuses. With one in every 20-25 technology professionals holding a master’s in business administration, Sriram Rajagopal, Vice President, HR at Cognizant, says his company is probably one of the most aggressive MBA recruiters in India. Besides the 192 hired across the 22 business schools, the company offered jobs to more than 500 MBAs from the 2015 graduating batch.” The paper also notes, “Cognizant gave PPOs to around 50% of its summer interns.”

“We are in the midst of a once-in-a-decade shift in the technology landscape,” says Rajagopal. “This trend is creating significant opportunities for B-school graduates. We believe our industry-leading growth is, in part, a function of our ability to proactively provide solutions to business problems and not just technological capability and this attribute is strengthened by our MBA talent.”
