Last year we had released a series of reports on the alumni of the top B schools we cover, slicing aggregate data from LinkedIn by company, location and organizational function. When we released these reports, they created quite a stir. People were amazed by the new avenues for data exploration, and the insights opened up by a few mouse clicks on LinkedIn.
InsideIIM.com turns 2 tomorrow! You made us. We wouldn't be what we are today without you. We have a few things planned for the next few days for you.
JBIMS has never yielded to any of our requests for placement data in the past. We published an unverified report for the same batch 18 months back during summer placements here.

There are some companies that swear by JBIMS in the toughest of times. It is also the one of the best 'ROI after MBA' schools with a 2 year outlay of less than INR 1 Lakh (INR 100,000). We had to do an unverified report.

The days of multiple job offers, stratospheric salaries, and even something as taken-for-granted as hundred percent placements, are behind us now. For the forseeable future. Even at the best Indian B schools.
