The highest international offer for the Master of Global Business (MGB) programme at SP Jain School of Global Management went up to ₹39 lakh, a 15 per cent rise from last year’s ₹34 lakh. The average international salary stood at ₹25 lakh, up from ₹18 lakh in 2020. Over 50 per cent of students bagged full-time offers from leading companies in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
The B-school also reported international internships for 63 per cent of its students. Top international recruiters this season includes Amazon, KPMG, Bayer, Landmark Group, Aramex, Michelin, Lenovo, DSV, Network International, Movado Group, Westcon, Agility, Redington Gulf, Kantar, Sharaf DG, StoneX, TIER Mobility, iMile and Global Shipping & Logistics.

The B-school also reported recruitment by several start-ups and tech companies such as TruKKer, Indegene, Azentio, Fero.Ai and Westcon.
Tech firms dominate
The technology sector took the top spot, with 26 per cent of students joining tech companies, fintech firms and last-mile delivery apps. Consulting (9 per cent), logistics (7 per cent), and retail and BFSI (6 per cent) were the other leading sectors. General management roles constituted 18 per cent of the offers, followed by consulting, marketing, operations, and project management.
“The MGB programme is designed for graduates with little to no work experience. Some students to have received salaries of ₹25 lakh or higher is very gratifying. I am particularly pleased to note the presence of several first-time recruiters from the technology industry,” said Dr Balakrishna Grandhi, Dean of SP Jain’s MGB and Global MBA programmes.
The MGB is a 16-month full-time master’s programme with a mandatory four-month international internship component. It is offered in two flexible learning formats. Students may opt to spend four months each at SP Jain’s campuses in Singapore, Sydney and Dubai, or four months in Singapore and the remaining duration of the programme in Dubai, where they will receive assistance with internships and job placements.
