Students of the Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) from the Social Work Faculty of MS University in Vadodara have witnessed record-breaking placements during this year's campus interviews. The highest package offered was a staggering ₹14 lakhs, marking a new record.

The average salary package for students this year continues to be ₹7 lakh, consistent with last year's figures.

Prof. Bhavna Mehta, Dean of the Faculty, reported that of the 92 students in the MSW and MHRM programs, 66 have already received job offers from a variety of companies. Around 40 companies have participated in the campus recruitment process so far, and the arrival of five to ten more companies is expected to push the placement rate to 100 per cent by the start of the new academic year. Last year, the placement rate for these two courses was 92 per cent.

The faculty's average salary package holds the top rank among all social work colleges in Gujarat. This year, an MSW student landed the highest package of ₹14 lakh, while an MHRM student received a package of ₹13.5 lakh.

Interestingly, 10 to 12 students have chosen to decline their job offers, preferring not to leave Vadodara city for employment opportunities elsewhere. The positions offered to students include Social Development Officer, Human Resource Manager, and Community Social Responsibility Officer.

Additionally, there has been a significant increase in the number of companies offering summer internships this year, providing students with more opportunities for hands-on experience and professional growth.
