Satish bhai its not about the backlogs or any other point we were making.Its just a general trend that when u have ppl not getting into top IIMs even after scoring 99.xx in all the sections and then we have reserved category students getting 90's and successfully converting them.See the placement data for such students is never released (or at least i havent come across one).I just wanted to ask if the companies show any discomfort in recruiting people from the reserved sections who have comparatively lesser percentiles than the general section.
I understand bro...hmmm..well that has to be cleared by monk or surya bhai

or the other seniors on our thread

:). But just a point I know...a friend of mine who belongs to the SC category...graduated from an IIM. I didn't ask him about his CTC, but he has secured a job in RIL @ Mumbai. He said his was a unique case where he has no job profile as of now, but he will be creating a totally new department there (from which I assume the placement panelists were pretty impressed with him!!).
And from what I know, in general, students tend to relax a bit after the 1st mod/sem/trimester and as time progresses, they are more into gaming and watching stuff on their lappies (not everyone or in every institute mind you!!). So the CGPA (relative or absolute), is almost entirely on our own hands and so is the placement. My friend said, you need not be born on mars to have a top-notch CV to secure a good job. It is how we perform during the selection process and how much stuff (less on technical, more on current affairs and ourself) we know!! (this is just one person's opinion).
And from what I spoke with him...he never mentioned any kind of discrimination or biasing at the institute(s). Yes, he studied in a top govt. B-school before shifting to an IIM.
I had planned to post all this stuff later this month..but had to change my mind!!

Eagerly awaiting some gyan from the seniors!!!
