See, if you draw a pyramid for students getting placed, the base is occupied by Marketing students. Then comes Finance, and then HR & Operations. Most of the companies coming for placements are Marketing companies, and for Finance, it is a bit less as compared to Marketing. Fiance companies recruit candidates for a Marketing profile too, in their company. For ex: Marketing of Financial products. So, we do have core finance companies coming in, and also finance companies which need Marketing roles. Hope this answers your question.

It is free of cost if the expenses for the place where you will be taken to, is within the budget, considering there are 110 odd students. Expenses are accounted on per-head basis. So for us, they charged 3000/- extra. It might not be charged for you.

TSM comprises mostly freshers every year, with hardly a few with Work experience. 70% of the students are from Engineering background and the rest with a Commerce background. Therefore, students placed are mostly freshers. Work experience matters, but only to an extent. All that matters is how you perform in the interviews. Around 10-15 students have been placed in core finance jobs this year. We are expecting more companies in the coming year, so expect the numbers to rise.
