An ode to the most Popular Committee in B schools - The Placement Committee
Before I start, let me clarify that I am not and have never been a member of the Placement Committee (henceforth referred to as the revered ‘PlaceComm’) and the perspective I provide here is simply that of a student who has seen the committee function and conduct the process, as a participant. Although I am grateful to my PlaceComm for ensuring that I got a good Summer Placement, upon giving it a thought, there are certain things that I find fishy.
Why the Placecomm is here to stay!
Bschool Name: Indian Institute Of Foreign Trade , Delhi
Placements: By the students, for the students

IIM Ahmedabad Final Placements – Class of 2014 (IPRS verified)
Earlier in the season we had published an unverified report on IIM Ahmedabad's final placements for the batch of 2014. IIM Ahmedabad has now released the final placement report in the CRISIL - audited IPRS format. (You can download it from their website). The IPRS format is very rigorous and granular in the level of detail provides. Most placement committees will be terrified if asked to report their data in this format - too many skeletons will come tumbling out of their closets. IIM Ahmedabad has shown commendable leadership among Indian B schools to push ahead with this format. On the other hand, it is easy to be truthful with disclosures when the truth itself paints such a rosy picture.
