- (1888PressRelease) May 08, 2015 - The Convocation Ceremony of the 22nd Batch of SCMS-Cochin was conducted with traditional grandeur today. In all, 120 students were awarded the Post Graduate Diploma by the Chief Guest, Mr. Anil Radhakrishnan, CEO, Adani Logistics Limited. The Guest of Honour for the occasion was Mr. Dimitrov Krishnan, VP, Volvo Construction Equipment (India). While addressing the students, Mr. Krishnan conveyed his delight on the fact that the number of female graduates outnumbered the male graduates.
"Here's to women power,"he commented to polite laughter from the audience. "I expect more women to be on the board of organisations, now that it has been mandated. My advice to all of you is to keep pushing the limits of your comfort zone, look for inspiration and passion, remain patient, and maintain a healthy lifestyle; it'll make you confident - physically and mentally."
The Chief Guest, Mr. Radhakrishnan (CEO, Adani Logistics), delivered an almost informal chat, peppered with a number of anecdotes - ranging from Hans Roslin's video describing 'the best part of India', to the much-discussed book by Prakash Iyer, 'The Habit of Winning'. For the award winners, just sharing space with notable industry leaders proved to be the high point of their lives thus far."It was absolutely out of the world!"gushed Aparna R. who bagged the prestigious Chairman's Gold Medal for the best student in Academics. "I had been dreaming of this moment ever since the SCMS-Cochin convocation last year. It was a great motivation to get up on stage and get the gold! When I heard my name being called out by Dr. Filomina, I was plain dumbstruck. To be honoured in front of such a large gathering, and to receive the Chairman's Gold Medal from such luminaries, and, above all else, in front of my parents…I felt like a conquerer."
But for Jithesh M. - who topped the Retail Management Sectoral Programme - it was almost a clean sweep by lady graduates this year. While Sharon Thankam James landed the Outstanding Student's Award, Sreedevi Chandramohan topped the Banking & Insurance Service Sectoral Programme.
"It's been a wonderful 2 years, "said a beaming Jithesh. "I did start out at SCMS with lots of expectations, since I had to gain enough knowledge and be groomed to fit into the corporate world. I owe a lot to my mentor at SCMS-Cochin, Dr. SriKrishnan, who supported and motivated me throughout my time at the institute. But, the best part of life at SCMS-Cochin has been the co-curricular activities like 'Parivarthana', Management Fests, and all kinds of sports. The exposure in organising events like 'SHIKHAR' (Management Fest), the Job Fair and Directors Fireside, has been unique."
The placement season this year at SCMS-Cochin had been quite a jostle, with 53 companies vying for a passing out batch of 120 students. The top corporations that recruited from SCMS-COCHIN this year included Vodafone, Deloitte, Castrol, ICICI Securities, HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank, Al Essa Group (Kuwait), Madura Fashion and Lifestyle, Wipro BPO, Madras Cements, Thomas Cook, Airtel, British Paints, ITC, Coca Cola, Catholic Syrian Bank, SBI, Kotak Mahindra, IOB, CaféCoffee Day and IDBI. The eminent speakers, the success of female graduates, and the placement record all speak to another successfully year for SCMS - Cochin and, of course, the exemplary students.
