TCS on various profiles at its end
An HR Team from Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) visited BIM Trichy on October 20th October 2007 to give insights on career options MBA students have with an IT major like TCS. With an employee base of over 1 lac including its subsidiaries, the Q2 profit being up at Rs 1250Crore, the IT sector booming, winner of the best employer award for 3 years in a row, TCS is again on a hiring spree of under graduates and post graduates.
Mr. Samraj, HR Manager with TCS at Chennai, spoke about the various avenues TCS offers in the field of Systems, HR, Marketing and Operations to the MBA recruits. He told that as a system’s MBA one could get into the role of a Business Analyst where the job description focused on client interactions, requirements gathering, analysis and estimation models etc.
For someone who is an MBA with a specialization in marketing, he said TCS had job opportunities for them in the marketing divisions of its various verticals. The job description here was related to discussions with potential clients across the globe to pitch for projects, finding out new markets for TCS etc with the designation most probably as that of a Business Analyst.
TCS now has operations across 75+ countries all over the world. Some of these are onsite development centers, delivery centers, technical support offices etc. With such a huge employee base spread all across the globe, managing human resources is one of the most important tasks for TCS. As a result, today TCS is recruiting HR students from various premier MBA institutes to manage its human resources. According to Mr. Samraj, TCS now has HR people at all its onsite offices, so HR people also get a chance to go onsite like techies. He said every new MBA–HR was made to go under special training programs on a periodic basis to keep them up to date with the current HR trends in the IT industry and that the career growth in a company like TCS was phenomenal.
The session was highly interactive and Mr. Samraj gave insights on various queries raised by the students regarding recruitment procedure, career growth, package structuring for MBA's, life at TCS, and what TCS means to its employees.
Overall it was a very informative session for all the students at BIM Trichy as they got to have a first hand view of what a career would look at TCS after placements, 5 years down the line and probably also 10 years down the line.

ENIGMA – Quest for Excellence
BIM Trichy organized its first ever online quiz for graduate and post graduate students. The event was named ENIGMA – The Quest for Excellence. The quiz was organized over a period of 3 days with 2 stages. The first stage was the prelims and the 2nd stage was the finals. The event was a joint effort between PRCOM (PR Committee of BIM) and BIMQuest (Quizzing club of BIM).
The first stage of the event received 500+ registrations from B Schools, Engineering Colleges and other graduate/post graduate institutes. The question paper was mailed to the participating teams and they had to mail back the answers in a excel sheet with a specified format within an hour.
The 2nd stage of the event was the finals. Top 30 teams from the first round competed in this round. Teams from institutes such as FMS, IMT Ghaziabad, IFMR, IIM A, IIM L, SIBM, XLRI and BIM formed a major chunk of the 30 teams. The same format for quizzing was followed except that the numbers of questions were reduced to 30 this time but the level of difficulty was increased.
Finally the results were out and the top 10 teams were declared. Top 3 teams got cash prizes of Rs 5000, Rs 3000, Rs 2000 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively and certificates of merit.
