hi vaibhav,
congrats to you also!
Regarding Placements,
well when my brother was in NM the quality of Placements was better but salary wise it wasn't good ,at that time NM was considered much better than MDI,SOM,IIFT and even IIM K & I coz all except IIFT were comparatively new,even the first director of IIM I was a prof from NM .NM was consistently Ranked among TOP 10 .
my bro's batch attracted companies like PriceWaterhouse Coopers(final placements),OLAM international (AFRICA),CAPITAL ONE(USA -72000$ per annum).Now CAPITAL OnE doesn't visit NM i think and for companies like CRISIL(regular recruiter from IIMs) NM was a favourite hunting ground.
though I personally think that after getting autonomous it will regain its popularity
ANYWAYs lets hope we get good placements!
cheers!
