Team InsideIIM congratulates IIM Ahmedabad for being the most transparent business school in India by a distance. Not only are the placements at IIM Ahmedabad audited by CRISIL, a daily report of the placements is released to the media on each cluster day. Companies are fully aware of other companies visiting campus along with them and students also know in advance the schedule of companies. No student can be forced to take up an offer if his/her preference lies elsewhere. Unfortunately, these practices are not followed in most other schools in India.
