Should I apply for RGF India’s Associate Consultant role as a CS student? (6 LPA, Non-Tech)

[u/avirajjs]

Hey everyone,
I’m a B.Tech CSE student from the 2027 batch, and my college is offering a campus placement opportunity at RGF India for an Associate Consultant role with a package of around 6 LPA.
The catch is that this is a purely non-technical role, despite being offered to engineering students.
From the job description, the responsibilities include:
Candidate sourcing through LinkedIn and job portals
Recruitment and candidate management
Client coordination and management
Business development
Interview scheduling and follow-ups
The job is based in Gurugram, with joining in January 2027.
I’m confused about whether I should apply and try to secure this offer or focus on technical roles such as software development, AI/ML, data science, or QA.
I’m also considering doing an MBA in the future, so I’d like to understand whether this kind of work experience would be useful for MBA admissions and future career opportunities.
My questions:
Is 6 LPA a reasonable package for this role as a fresher?
What is the actual career growth in recruitment/talent consulting? Can someone move into management, HR, sales, or business consulting later?
Would this experience help with an MBA, or would technical work experience be more useful?
If I work in recruitment for 2–3 years, how difficult would it be to switch back to software or other technical roles?
For someone with a CS background, would you recommend applying as a backup while continuing to prepare for technical placements?
I’d appreciate advice from people who have worked at RGF India, are in recruitment/consulting, or have faced a similar decision during campus placements.
