Placements
Placement Committee
The placement office is managed by the placement committee which consists of student representatives. A placement chairperson is selected from the faculty. The activities of the placement committee include coordinating for the summer internship program and the campus recruitment program. It corresponds with the prospective employers, arranges pre placement talks and personal interviews on campus and facilitates the placement process.

Building Campus Presence
A successful recruiting effort is possible only when the students know you better. NIASoM offers you many opportunities to build a good corporate image among the students. The following are our recommendations for the same.

Pre-Placement Talks(PPTs)
The pre-placement talks are presentations organized by the company on the college campus. Over the years they have become the primary forum for company-student interactions. These talks give the student a chance to learn more about your company, your people and your work culture. The students can also learn about the opportunities for growth, learning and advancement that your company offers. They can also form a firsthand impression of your company and make an informed decision about applying for the placements.

We have over the years found that senior executives are the most effective in delivering the PPTs and also making a strong statement of commitment to recruiting from the institute. The PPTs can take place on any mutually convenient date. If the company wishes to display some promotional material on campus, the final form of the material can be sent to the placement office, which will arrange for the same.

Conferences and Workshops
Various events, speaker series, panel discussion, conferences and workshops can be organized in which your company may participate directly or contribute through partnerships.

Message from the Director
National Insurance Academy is the premier name in the field of insurance education, training and research. Over the years the academy has emerged forerunner in terms of capacity building in the insurance sector not only in India but also in entire Afro-Asian region. It was founded way back in 1980 by the Ministry of Finance with patronage from LIC, GIC and four Public sector general insurance companies.

In response to repeated demands from the insurance industry for quality human capital that blends technical insurance skill with managerial foresight to hasten the progress of the industry in the liberalized and keenly competitive, economic and financial environment, the National Insurance Academy decided to start a full time two year Post Graduate Management Programme in the year 2004. To this end, the institution is creating professionals with a difference, who understand the present but has the capacity to shape the future of the insurance industry creatively in days to come.

National Insurance Academy – School of Management (NIASoM) believes in attracting the best talent pool in the country and subsequently honing their skill through a fine tuned curriculum that balances academic rigor with co-curricular and extracurricular activities. The students are selected through entrance exam CAT that is recognized industry wide for its high standard. During their two year stay, NIASoM acts as a crucible through which the students emerge as managers endowed with sound business acumen and well rounded personalities.

NIASoM is known for the emphasis it lays on ethics and morals, and throughout the period of two years, this is ingrained in the students. Analytical insights, quantitative abilities and field experience are all blended into the offered Management Programme. Its graduates therefore develop wide-ranging expertise on several broad fronts. Our alumni have, over the years acquired an excellent reputation in industry, business and academics.
