New IIMs Placement Exposed | 30% batch NOT placed
The video exposes the placement crisis at new IIMs, where approximately 30% of students remain unplaced, with specific numbers like 90-100 students at IIM Kashipur, 55 at IIM Bodhgaya, and 110 at IIM Visakhapatnam. The speaker discusses how colleges use 'opt-out' tactics to hide poor placement numbers and recommends focusing on tier-1 MBAs or considering online MBA alternatives.
Summary
The video begins by contrasting the successful 100% placement announcements from established IIMs like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta with the harsh reality facing newer IIMs. The speaker reveals specific data showing significant numbers of unplaced students at newer IIMs - 90-100 at IIM Kashipur, 55 at IIM Bodhgaya, and 110 at IIM Visakhapatnam, representing approximately one-third of their typical 300-student batches. The financial and time investment is substantial - students spend around 30 lakh rupees and 3-4 years (including preparation time) for their MBA journey. The speaker exposes how colleges manipulate placement statistics through 'opt-out' mechanisms, showing official emails from IIM Kashipur encouraging students to declare they never intended to seek placements, effectively removing them from placement statistics. The responsibility is attributed to both college authorities failing their institutional duties and students who enter with weak profiles and unrealistic expectations. The current job market faces additional challenges from AI disruption and geopolitical tensions affecting middle management roles. For prospective students, the speaker strongly recommends either achieving admission to tier-1 MBAs or considering online MBA alternatives while maintaining current employment. The video concludes with a sponsorship segment promoting College Vidya's online MBA platform, emphasizing that while online MBAs provide knowledge and credentials, they cannot fully replace the experience of full-time programs.
