Arts, Science & Commerce Students Salary Packages at par with Engg, Mgmt, Law
Arts, Science, and Commerce students are getting good pay packages from corporate companies. It is not only restricted to the engineering, management or law students.
If you think that only students from engineering and management streams can get you high paying jobs, reconsider that as many students from Arts, Science, and Commerce background are being offered big salary packages by employers.
A final year Economics student of Lady Shree Ram College of Delhi University was offered a salary of Rs. 38 lakh and a Commerce student from the same Delhi University college received a package offer of Rs. 31 lakh per annum. Comparing this to last year's records in Mumbai, Arts and Commerce students got a salary ranging from Rs. 6 to Rs. 19 lakh per annum.
Smita Sharma, Placement advisor at Shri Ram College of Commerce informed that the companies are now preferring to take fresh students who are easily able to adapt to the company’s work culture rather than make an experienced man/woman unlearn about their previous work cultures.
Human resource consultancy PeopleStrong’s founder member Devashish Sharma said that the engineering graduates in most cases lack strong communication skills whereas these fresh graduates are rich with soft-skills.
Soni George, the placement consultant of St. Xavier's College Mumbai said that for the growing ‘Analyst’ position in different companies, people from Statistics, Economics and Maths background are getting preference though students from other streams can apply as well. He informed that last year, a life science student got placed as an analyst.
