Hi everybody,
All of us read widely about news and events related to MBA in India. I've started this thread so that we can share links to interesting and relevant news articles. The PG Editorial Team will of course share links of stories written by the team and posted on the homepage of pagalguy.com along with news stories that we come across while keeping tabs on the MBA world. We would like to request forum users to also share news that they get to know of. Over time this thread can become a repository of news stories and articles which will be of great benefit to MBA aspirants and b-schoolers.
Here are some links to kick off activities 
Prof Ganesh Pranbhu, faculty at IIM B and former placements chairperson writes part one of a three part series on how MBA placements are conducted at the IIMs. An extremely detailed article written exculsively for Pagalguy.com - PaGaLGuY.com - The Everything of MBA, CAT 2008, GMAT, XAT, IIM - Features - Behind-the-scenes of placements at the IIMs - Part 1
Laid off IIM and ISB graduates who had secured international offers in 2008 are approaching their alma maters for placements help. Laid off overseas, IIM students request institutes to place them again
Pagalguy.com interviews of BIMM, Pune and Bangalore Management Academy, Bangalore.
Hope to see this thread becoming a collection of relevant and useful links related to MBA colleges in India :)
Cheers,

This is the news about ICFAI's Banglore off-campus students. The news covers plight over students fearing their degrees to be valid or not.

There are times when news links are moved or removed and thus the link isn't valid after sometime. So can we post the whole story over here? Or make a .doc file and attach it? Over time it would serve a better purpose.

The thought of creating a doc file and attaching the same might just turn some people off from posting anything
The thought of posting the whole article seems fine, but it would inevitably lead to long posts (sometimes very long posts :biggrin:) which might not be too soothing for the eye.
I believe the present system of incorporating links would work well. we've been following the same process at FC thread for quite sometime now and have not had any issues till date
