Even while sectors like real-estate and banking have suffered from the recent economic slowdown, Healthcare is one sector that is booming.

Institute of Clinical Research (India), one of India’s leading Clinical Research Institute, has announced that it has wrapped up placements with secure jobs for the entire batch passing out this year.

Almost 202 companies like Pfizer, Novartis, Sanofi, Quintiles, MSD, Merck, IRL, CCBR, TCS, ICRI Global Research and other multinational companies as well as Indian companies recruited 3500 students from ICRI. A large number of students have been placed in UK, Singapore and other locations abroad. In India students with M.Sc degrees have been placed at a starting salary between 30,000– 60,000 pm and the part time PG Diploma students have started with a salary between 15,000-30,000 pm. Students placed in UK and Singapore are drawing a salary of 21 lac per annum.

 According to Dr. S. K. Gupta, Dean & Director General, Institute of Clinical Research (India), “This year again placements have gone well and the students have been placed before the course is complete. Over 22 students have been placed in the DCGI’s office. Also 2 of the senior students who had passed out 3 years ago have taken the position of Assistant Professors in Niper the leading pharma training institute, Government of India to teach clinical research to the students in Hyderabad”.

The ICRI Placement Division takes every possible step to keep itself updated of the industry requirements. The dedicated placement team works towards informing the industry about the teaching methodology and ICRI courses. The ICRI Placement Division offers prospective employers a one-stop destination for their current and future relationships with the Institute. As a result of these efforts, many big organisations have also shown exemplary interest in recruiting students from ICRI.

 “India has all the competitive advantages for conducting clinical trials. As the country is increasingly becoming a favored destination for clinical trials, a gap analysis needs to be done to scale up all resources for clinical trials. This scale up is essential for India to cope with the large global clinical trial projects. ICRI aims to nurture and create an environment of learning, and implement international standards in the interests of Clinical Research students. This is to ensure India meets the global expectations as an emerging Clinical Research destination”, said Mr. S.R. Dugal, Chairman Board of Directors, ICRI.

ICRI boasts of a special Pre-placement Preparation Program designed by the ICRI Placement Division. The program aims to provide career guidance to students and help them with career opportunities. Writing an effective resume in compliance with the Clinical Research industry, training on how to face interview boards, personality development, communication skills and mock interviews form an integral part of the program. It also grooms the students by enhancing their analytical acumen, problem-solving skills and ability to work as a team.

ICRI currently operates from three campuses in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Bangalore.
