Given the strong trend in placements, FORE is advising its students to be selective in acceptance of offers. "First offer is not necessarily the best offer", says Professor Rajneesh Chauhan, Chair-Placements at FORE School of Management. He goes on to say that students are counseled constantly to carefully evaluate the opportunities so that the offers that they accept are closest to where their interests lie. Students are encouraged to be patient and not get anxious since FORE has a consistent track record of full placement. Select students are given the choice of multiple offers since the first offer may not be the best offer.
