IIM Indore completed placements for what is possibly the biggest ever PGP batch to graduate out of an IIM. The number of 475 includes 30 odd students from the PGP batch at Mumbai as well. (This would come as a surprise to many and one wonders if the students from the flagship PGP at Indore campus protested against it.)
With a profile picture of a muscular Emraan Hashmi on your social networking address, countless words about yourself pretending to be someone else and five minute photo ops at the swankiest places with the things in the background we could never afford, nothing is real in our make believe world of internet however there is something which bridges this gap between the real and the virtual world – the spam folder in our mailbox, something which pushes us from the world of dreams we live in to the dark depressing reality.

CAT 2014 results are out and undoubtedly what remains same is the hue and cry, which I was subjected to, a year ago. But what is always in flux is the pattern of CAT. Soon, a time would come when we will measure the complexity of CAT and the fairness of Prometric on year-on-year basis, just like any other index.
We are happy to note that SP Jain has provided placement data to us in the InsideIIM format. SP Jain has been publishing its final placement report, audited by CRISIL, in the IPRS format since 2011 (read the 2011 report here and the 2012 report here ). We were unable to find the 2013 report in the IPRS format. At InsideIIM, our view on the IPRS format is that although it provides an amazing level of detail about salaries, it suffers from a drawback because it does not incorporate profile information (i.e. the job profile for which the candidate was hired). We appreciate the forthrightness of SP Jain for reporting its placements in the IPRS format, but we also believe that the quality of job profiles is the most critical input while evaluating the placements at a B school. The InsideIIM placement report provides data on job profiles, and we are delighted to have this data from SP Jain from this year onwards. We hope this is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship.
