Mumbai, Dec 26: It’s that time of the year when companies do the rounds of B-schools to attract some of the best brains. But, if the selection process is anything to go by, then age-old beliefs probably still play an important role in deciding who the lucky ones are.
Recently, a brokerage house, which was doing the rounds of some of Mumbai’s B-schools, asked the short-listed candidates to submit their horoscopes for evaluation by a renowned astrologer. The candidates were told their job would depend on the astrologer’s nod.
Darashaw & Co Pvt Ltd, one of the oldest broking and investment banking houses of the country, short-listed a few students and asked for their horoscopes, which will be individually evaluated by Bejan Daruwalla.
According to a source, three students each from IES Management College and Sydenham Institute of Management Studies have been short-listed and one from MET has also made it to the final round—of submitting the horoscope.
“Initially, it was the usual stuff, which comprised of personal interviews and group discussion. After the successful completion of these, we were offered a package of around five lakh. And we were asked to submit our horoscopes, which, we were told, would be evaluated by Bejan Daruwalla,” said a student who did not wish to be named. Attempts to get in touch with the HR director of the brokerage firm proved futile. Placement agencies sources told FE such selection processes are not uncommon.
