Why This Placement Is a Big Deal for Bihar
The Big Four — Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG — are among the most sought-after employers in the world. Getting a job offer from any of these firms, especially straight out of an undergraduate programme, is considered highly prestigious. Their exclusive global presence, intensive training, and fast-track career growth set them apart from most other employers.
What makes this particularly significant is that CIMAGE’s BCA students were selected even before completing their degree. Prof. (Dr.) Neeraj Agrawal, Director of CIMAGE Group, noted that this is the first time in Bihar that a BCA programme has produced Big Four selections at this stage.
“This is a very big achievement. For the first time from Bihar, a BCA student has been selected in Deloitte — a Big Four company — even before completing their course. Earlier, BCA graduates from Bihar became data entry operators. CIMAGE upgraded that to TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, and Accenture — and now we’re entering Big Four territory.”
— Prof. (Dr.) Neeraj Agrawal, Director, CIMAGE Group of Intitutions, Patna
