Valarmathi, Director, VIMS, delivered a special address, welcoming the students and emphasising the importance of engaging in academic activities.
She highlighted the significance of electives, internships, resume writing, off-campus presentations, certification programs, and placement training in shaping their careers. She also stressed the need for students to build HR networks and industry connections through social media platforms.
Valarmathi encouraged students to leverage social media to arrange chief guests and participate in industry events such as CMA Meetings, NIPM, CII, and BNI Meetings. By doing so, students can gain valuable insights and exposure to the industry, enhancing their career prospects.
As part of the orientation program, the VIMS Placement cell organised an event on “Next-Level Career Docs” for second-year MBA students.
