Alumni Employment Stats tool
Shiksha.com has brought out Alumni Employment Stats. The tool will help aspirants to know about the salary earned by the alumnus of a particular B-school both in terms of average salary earned and also their employment specialisation. The data has been provided by naukri.com, which is India’s leading portal for job seekers.
Talking about the tool, Maneesh Upadhyaya, business head, Shiksha.com said: “The hyper competitiveness in today’s education landscape has coerced colleges to bring out profusion of salary numbers like median salary, average salary which perplexes students who are not familiar with the jargon. This tool simplifies the numbers maze by making students aware about the salary packages based on the parameter of experience. Through this tool we are hopeful that students are better equipped to decide their future campus”.
This feature is, at present, available for 408 management colleges and 933 full-time MBA courses offered in these colleges. The site plans to roll this feature out for other categories as well in near future.
