The most sought after degree in India “MBA”.
Every one want to get an MBA(Lawyers,doctors,Engineers,Cops) CAT and GMAT have become a sort of a certification.People love to talk about it,be it the salary of the X person in an ABC firm or the how did that XYZ good for nothing person got in to such a Good B-school and then their are hundreds of people posting comments and discussing online and offline about it!
Then comes the D-day,the placement season,every one set their eyes on the students,as if to judge their capability which would get measured in terms of the package he gets.While all this is happening,there is something going in the environment which gets unnoticed such as:
- Recession
- Family pressures
- MBA course itself
- Career Goals
- Social surroundings
and because these things get unnoticed , their is a good news or a bad news! So, who is responsible for this? the answer is not simple, being a member of the placement cell, i have seen the pain the students go through and the helplessness of the B-school.Some blame the B-schools,some blame the luck,day,economy,friends,family…
The point is, whether B-school should take the responsiblity to place students? and if they are not doing this, should they highlight the placements in their sales pitch!
