162 Corporate RecruitersAt SKIPS, with a rigorous curriculum and active Industry Interface Forum we have achieved good internships and final placements. Every year the number of companies visiting campus and the packages offered have increased steadily. Today 162 corporates are associated with SKIPS.

Mr. Dharmesh Patel I SNL FinancialI hailed from a small village and was very shy. My biggest drawback was my inability to speak in English. Two years at SKIPS not only helped me improve my communication skills and analytical abilities, but also instilled the confidence and enthusiasm required in me to crack the selection process of a dynamic and growth oriented organization like SNL Financial. Today I am successfully working with SNL Financial.

Mr. Chirag Jariwala I PepsicoI was very enthusiastic and good at analysis, but lacked right direction, proper guidance and good mentoring. The learning environment at SKIPS ensured that my enthusiasm and analytical thinking were channeled in the right direction. It is due to this that I secured campus placements at Pepsi.

Mr. Gagan Sharma I Federal BankI came from a very modest background. I was always strong in academics but by nature I was cautious and reserved. SKIPS helped me identify my hidden strengths and encouraged me to develop them. Due to my superior subject knowledge and an evolved personality, I was recruited by Federal Bank.

Ms. Shweta Shah I Union Bank of IndiaI came from a small town and from a traditional Gujarati Family. I studied in a Gujarati medium school. With this background, I knew that it would be a great challenge to study a management course in an English environment. However, SKIPS customized course on Specialized Communication Skills helped me successfully complete the course and ultimately secure employment of my choice in Union Bank of India.

Ms. Priyanshu Chaturvedi I TCSI came to SKIPS from a technical background after completing B.E.(IT) in 2009. Apart from academics, I got opportunities to be involved in several co-curricular activities throughout the tenure. This really helped me in strengthening my communication, interpersonal, analytics and managerial skills. The rigorous learning approach at SKIPS has played a key role for me to stand today as a disciplined, organized and responsible professional at TCS.
