bhai i can understand ur feelings but i think we are getting a bit off track... no point in makin such a comment on any institute.... after all u were not asked to apply at gun point... see human tendency is to appreciate once good things happen (here final call) otherwise he/she sees everything wrong in system....

so chill ....

PS: congrats to that guy from ISB and wishing him all the very best for future ahead.. u have atleast given us (iimb) another shot in arm and a target (though sal figs are just one another thing ) to break )) which i am sure ppl in my batch are capable of

Irrespective of the fact that the high packages were lateral placements, ISB management should be commended for creating a b-school that can 'take on' the IIMs when it comes to attracting high-profile recruiters as well as catching the fancy of the media. Very impressive for a school that is not even 10 years old.

That said, i feel that the fee for the course is a bit too high. Note that the lowest Indian package (~11 Lac) has been less than the fee (~15 Lac). I am sure any grad from ISB would like to get atleast 1-1.2 times the fee.

High fees also means that the admission to ISB is a lot easier than IIMs, for now. With 1.8 Lac people appearing for CAT, the competition has become *insane*. With due respect, getting 650+ in GMAT is probably a lot easier than getting 99 percentile in CAT.

I believe ISB is targetting to ramp up seats to 800+, inline with practice at American schools. Compare this to 70 PGPX seats at IIM-A

My only question is when it is known that a person with "wholesome" ideas can contribute better, why are we still sticking to marks i mean both entrance marks and academics..

anybody listening???

the marks obtained in the test and the academics vouch for the fact that u will be able to stand the rigour of the MBA. i hope u get this.

Finally.. an end to this mindless marketing seems to have come..
IIMA and IIMB have decided not to disclose highest salaries from next year...

that was a news for me... i thought they (atleast iimb) just agreed not to disclose the name of student... there was no prob with highest sal figure i thought....

Easy does it, pal. You should be aware that you are judged by what you say, on a public forum. Your statement is full of inaccuracies. Why don't you check out the batch profile of my batch or my seniors or the latest batch that is due to join SPJ? Maybe then you can tell all of us how many freshers and non-IITians are there.

assumptioms abt EQ level...??

ISB ISB again.......seems like lot of ISB PR people arnd.

and if you place a MS 10 yrs wrk ex for 1.04 crore in 2006...big deal.......IIM has placed a person with very less wrk ex for .99 crore in 2001....

question is not abt the salary....its abt quoting dollar salaries in rupeees......

1 crore

In this batch of ISB, I know (Thru IMS's AdvancEdge) of 1 guy who had arnd 10 yrs of Exp n was amongst the most imp ppl at MicroSoft, India...A very very imp part of the Top Management Grp...Now its understandable that his details havnt been released but v shldnt b surprised if that 1.04 Cr. package has gone to him...Yes, there were ppl with 15 yrs of exp as well but I think this MS guy wld have been that mystery guy...


But its a bit appaling to c IIM guys crying foul out here...Inadvertantly, they r only justifying all those ppl who think that apart frm number crunching, the IIM graduates can do little else n that their EQ levels r as avrg as that of any1 else...Whatevr goes up has to come down someday...N anyway, unlike popular notion, most ppl care a damn 4 these figures...No one needs to tell the avrg puy or 4 that matter any1, as to who the Boss is or other such things...Its not that hard to b a good Sport...


Rgrds,
Brij.

I propose a single thread for such news

"Sensational B-school Salaries" under the b-school section ... thayt will make it easier for us to follow all the latest news & trends. No more umpteen threads on the same issue

Psst. Just a suggestion

Its great to see such salaries. I wonder if the UPA is gearing up get mileage from the BJP's "India shining" campaigning, without much hu-ha
