Firstly, joining the Junior Placements Committee at IIM Kozhikode will give me a lot of
exposure. The amount of learning I obtain will be unparalleled. Secondly, I will also be a part
of something that is much bigger than myself. Ensuring the placement for an entire batch will
be a humongous task, but one that I will aim to complete with my fellow placement
committee members. Lastly, I believe that I possess the necessary skills that will be required
to complete this task and thus I will be a good fit for this committee.
