The highest domestic PPO was INR 13 Lakh plus. Some of the corporates which offered PPOs at FORE were Asian Paints, Hector Beverages, Genpact, KPMG, Cap Gemini, Hero MotoCorp, L&T Finance.

“The trend is encouraging,102 companies participated in the summer internships, similarly the pre-placement offers have increased too and more than 100 students were already placed in October 2015. Some of the PPI evaluations are still onand 50 % or more of the outgoing 2016 batch shall be placedshortly”, said Prof. Rajneesh Chauhan, Chairperson-Placements at FORE.

“The continuous research and efforts to keep the curriculum relevant to workplace, essentially makes FORE a preferred destination for more than 130 companies across verticals. With 85% of the faculty having vast corporate exposure creating values for recruiters is a collective agenda for the members of faculty at FORE. Even the selection committee at FORE, would comprise of one panelist from the corporate sector,” earlier reported, Prof. Neeraj Kumar, Executive Chairman-Admissions at FORE.

An International Immersion program familiarizes students with global policies, practices, cultures. The admission policy framework of FORE also encourages diversity. The present batch is highly diverse in terms of gender (34% female students), academic background, and work experience. Unlike some IIMs, FORE doesn’t offer incentives based on gender but in order to encourage cultural diversity, a special weightage of 5% (over and above 100%) is offered to candidates from North East India and J&K.

A “special concession” amounting to 10% waiver in the tuition fee is also extended (over and above any other scholarship being given) to the students who join the programme and are domiciled in the state of Jammu & Kashmir and the 8 North-Eastern States of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim.
