When the pandemic hit, there were immediate ramifications on placements at even the most revered IIMs: students lost out on internships, recent graduates lost out on jobs or had their joining dates deferred for a painfully long time which left them in a limbo, and the degree of salary revisions and paycuts (if any) is unknown. Throughout the first half of the extraordinary year, surveys revealed the reluctance in hiring amongst recruiters, and the news of layoffs and paycuts across organizations as well as a looming threat of recession added to the growing uncertainty amongst job-seekers and professionals. So how much did the pandemic eventually end up impacting recruitment figures at the IIMs?

very wishy-washy, no validations of the conclusion arrived at. a better approach would have been to share some current data about pay- bands and such interesting career outcomes. No statistics at all to understand authenticity.

Hello. I was unaware of this page. For my research, I relied on a lot of Quora answers (some even published back in 2015), and spoke to an IIM graduate who again talked about things like brand value of an IIM, and other factors such as ROI (which we commonly look and mentioned that even IIM A doesn't have a good ROI if you look like that ). You B-School Only Once was a series started by InsideIIM which was to say at the last that this decision is crucial. Towards the end, it was just my opinion that while I had spoken of the IIM tag before, this shouldn't be limiting especially in cases when you've to choose between a new IIM and other top B schools. Hope that it clarifies. :)

Hello. This is a very subjective topic and there is no concrete way to determine which college scores over the other. I just addressed the things you should look out for and how important are each of them - like not just falling for ROI or an IIM tag (while these are important) and looking at the bigger picture in terms of Networking Opportunities, Alumni Base and most importantly, figuring where you interest lies. However, thank you for your feedback. I would back my next articles with more statistics to help the reader arrive at a definitive conclusion. :)
