This is by no mean to insult/demean any one's effort or any institute. My elder brother had graduated 2 years back from an institute (Not an IIM though but a reasonably good bschool) He couldn't get through the campus placements and hence I know the hurdles he went through in finding a job on his own.
The people I'm tagging in these posts, please don't get offended. I believe that you people are reliable & can give me genuine inputs to make a well informed decisions. After all you were in the same shoes, the previous year.

So it is only Nagpur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Amritsar and Vizag had came up with their reports so far.
I know few people from other new IIMs who got good placements but have said their processis yet to conclude and will conclude soon.
How much of importance does past acads play in final placements? (I don't have any over 70). With this thought I have asessed all the reports and I have a lot of questions in my mind.
IIM Ranchi: It is said in the report that there are 134 students and 133 offers. What happened to that one student? Nobody got multiple offers or is there a possibility that less than 133 students got placed?Kindly confirm how many students got placed?
Does prominent association in the report means every company in the report recruited some one for final placements or something else?

IIM Rohtak: 3 people went unplaced and 7 people did't seek placements via the institute? Perhaps those 7 people opted out due to personal reasons but what sort of assistance does the institute provie to those remaining 3?
I couldn't really understand the report. Words like earning potential and all sounds complex and what about the brands?

IIM Amritsar: 104 students got placed. Is it the batch size or number or students who participated in the process or something like that? Because as per the batch profile the last roll number is 106. What happened to those 2?
No multiple offers?

IIM Nagpur: Again the batch size is 54 and there are 55 offers so there had been multiple offers. Please confirm whether all 54 got placed?
Does key participant in the report means every company in the report recruited some one for final placements or something else?

IIM Vizag: It is mentionedin the report about "45 Eligible students" What is the batch size and what is the eligibility criteria? Does that includes past performanes as well?
No information about the batch size is given in the batch profile
Again 50 offers and 45 eligible students, is it safe to assume that all 45 got an offer? Kindly confirm.

I request all the adcom member to take the queries in a positive sense and consider it as an oppurtunity to bring in more transparency between the institute and the aspirant pool.
Help us in making the best possible decision!
