P.S : Sad to see even the Mod tryin to take sides...
I hope you are kidding. What sides will the mods take ? I dont even belong to a bschool!. If you can't find anything decent to say, keep your mouth shut or be able to substantiate your baloney.
Don't make it personal.
If you can intelligently answer the Qs posed, go ahead. Else keep out.
Well dudes, I see a very heated debate going on regarding placements at MDI and janta crying hoarse over the whole thing..I presume most people are cribbing just because they cannot digest the successful placement held at an institute which has been rising faster than what most people expected. ..........
Most disappointing post.
All the ppl who are supposedly "crying hoarse" aren't out to tarnish the image or for that matter question the credentials of MDI and this has been stated again and again by many who posted here. Some of the ppl are really interested in joining MDI and hence wanna know the real picture. None of us have any problems with MDI "rising faster than what most ppl expected".
Request to all MDIans please dont turn this thread into a "My B-school rocks and ur B-school sucks" thread, please address the real issue and dont take this personally.
Well dudes, I see a very heated debate going on regarding placements at MDI and janta crying hoarse over the whole thing..I presume most people are cribbing just because they cannot digest the successful placement held at an institute which has been rising faster than what most people expected. As far as I am concerned I believe it is only the case of the Fox who ended up making the wrong decision ...crying "Sour Grapes".... Ok..coming back to the moot issue regarding the quoted placements figures..before I clarify (although am not obliged to) I would request all these CRY Babies to post information about thier respective institutes ....let us also get a chance to have a DIG at what you have to say...then maybe we can sit across and clear any doubts any one has... I believe a couple of the IIMs, FMS, XL.. are done with thier placements so lets HEAR about the placement process..starting from the beginning .... how many PPOs how many Laterals... day 0 day -1 ..day 1 ....PPT highest lowest mean median mode....blah blah.....whatever you have to say... As far as MDI is concerned I am no official spokesperson nor is prateek, samy or DeMo.....thus for EXACT details you might have to contact the placement co-ordinator.. So till then.... when ? when the CRY Babies come out with thier placement details.... P.S : Sad to see even the Mod tryin to take sides...
It's truly unfortunate that this is the kind of reply we get at the end of so many posts about the need for accurate information to help mba-aspirants decide.
However, I think it'd be unfair to judge the reaction of MDI people on the basis of this one post. I hope there'll be some others from the institute who'll be rational enough not to get all "defensive" over it and take time out to clarify the issues raised through the course of discussion.

wat kind of a world u live in iim a b c l and xl placements are in mid march and as for ur placement cordi ask him to atleast help u in answering our queries u sit there and can find out and pls next year b4 u post ne thing here jayda lambi mat fainkna as it only malaigns ur instis name u r doing what the iipms generally do to attract ppl
and if u have their mail ids just fwd some of these concerns to them
and for the info of everyone , in del placements of iift and fms were out in ht they could only lure the kinds of delhi mewsline to announce as probably ht refused to take their crap or they didnt find them worthy of their space
P.S : Sad to see even the Mod tryin to take sides...
VERY uncalled 4 to say the least...If u notice, the Mods have been exceptionally patient in the matter. There were lot of other members in the forum, including myself, who tried to tell ppl to wait for facts b4 rashly lambasting the placements at MDI.
But now it seems more like firefighting than anthg else, and the salary figures definitely r inflated to say the least. Hope u guys can clarify on that at least, instead of adding to the plethora of allegations, baseless and otherwise..
hav been waitin to post on this thread but some rightly pointed out we were actually busy with papers. it's made an interestin read must say wid all the crap being said abt MDI... ne ways gettin down to the first issue... See in our posts i think we did mention abt the placements being over on day 1... maybe debatable yes but after all it was the IIM's which did start this concept..
and all this hue and cry abt HSBC being HSBC amc and not Bank... tell me where has it been written that HSBC bank visited our campus... and wat's all this crap being thrown up abt all the multinationals being the indian counterparts and stuff.. tell me which all campuses do these companies visit and if they do tell me how many campuses within their first 10 yrs of existence hav been able to attract them.
it's all fine to say in all your refined language abt an insti being shitty or misrepresentin facts but wait on we'll talk abt all this once all the b-schools are thru wid their placements and come out wid their official resutls. and lemme tell u for all the enlightened souls who r waiting for an opportunity to give their derisive comments it's not we the students who print the official articles..
but one thing i can proudly say is that our seniors hav been given a launchpad to portray their capabilities and i know for a fact that they'll do well... and c'mon it's been ppl from other b-schools coming up wid all these shitty comments gimme a break... u all know wat goes on in b-schools.as in the concept of Day zero and day one.... it's absolutely unbelievable to see the extent to which the issue has been bloated. at the end of the day wat matters is that we did get very gus placements this yr...
and if u do want to enlighten u fellow juniors and the b school aspirants out here plz don't put up questions ... plz take the trouble of answerin em urselves.. makin others luk stupid doesn't make u luk gud.
say wat u want but one thing i know for sure is tht MDI is amongst the top b schools and our placements for a fact wud be better than most of the other top ten instis... Debatable yes..go on... keep comin in wid ur comments (facts and figures if that makes u come out wid them)
thanx for keepin the thread open pg.. has been gud to see some sensible B schoolers on the forum... thanx for keepin the discussion goin while we were away and for the support...
It is well and truly unfortunate that so far we haven't had even a single mention of a company which gave salary more than their claimed average. I agree that b-schools very often fudge their figures a little but this is really taking things too far. If you were to ask a person from any b-school clarification about claimed salaries, he'd atleast have the decency to give you "some figures". This is pure shamelessness.
This post was not meant to be personal or directed towards the bashing of a particular institute. But the more that we hear from folks representing MDI, the more irritating it gets. Whatever respect people have for MDI having done well will only suffer on account of such accusational posts as the one by qwezark. I sincerely hope someone will try to clear things up by providing members at PG with accurate (or atleast believable) information.
Hmm the plot thickens !!! I know the MDI guys are in a no-win situation now.... My point is simple - Who cares if the students get placed in x hours or y days.. What matters(as some people rigthly pointed out) is the 'quality' of placements .. Then why do B schools try to get a kick out of these gimmicks like 4 hours or 8.3 lacs.. Let us see how 'mature' and 'wise' MDI guys are in handling this delicate situation instead of attacking the junta or moderator !!!!

Now now guys dont scare them off ! Admit it , the more they speak out , the more insights we get...I'd rather that we encourage more engagement. Lets see what all keeps tumbling out!
I must admit, the attitude taken by a couple of MDi student posts has left me diappointed. anybody heard about Crisis management Vs Management by Crisis!
Guys... people have time & again mentioned that we have our exams going on - so i guess we should have been given some time to get data from the placement cell...
I am personally trying to get in touch with the placement coordinator - but then have a serious time constraint - we have 2 exams daily!!! I surely believe that we need to provides some justifications (if we at all need to) & do not need to be defensive at all... but then the kind of discussion going on here has forced us to keep our mouth shut till now...
The placement cell members from my batch are deeply involved in studiess - & why not - they didnt even touched the books for this whole term till now... so i'd better let them study in peace rather than asking them to fetch me details at this time...
So friends please - let this thread rest to peace for sometime.... we'll get back here as soon as we have more information.... plz don't crusify us for being late :(
Hi All, i was till now like lets give them some time..... Prateek i think it will be better.....if u ppl decide on the official spokesman from ur side.....
2 of the 3 responses have depicted arrogant behavior to the max.....only sensible post being Prateek - mandevian (keep up the gud work)....
And dis arrogancy has come towards a place which had contributed to them getting into a "gud" b school.......
Qwezark and Raj_roman u guys along with mandevian will reflect wat ur b school stands for so...before takin any stand keep dis in mind......
I agree MDI will be havin one of the best placements in top ten b schools.....but then thats all it seems........
Prateek.....we will wait for a post from u or Bingo......the other two posts apart from u were uncalled for......
I believe a couple of the IIMs, FMS, XL.. are done with thier placements so lets HEAR about the placement process..starting from the beginning .... how many PPOs how many Laterals... day 0 day -1 ..day 1 ....PPT highest lowest mean median mode....blah blah.....whatever you have to say...
I can just draw a simple inference from it. MDI has grossly fudge the data and now the publicity stunt has backfired.
Then be brave, accept your fault and come out with right figures. Look others fuding data doesn't gives MDI right to fudge data and then shoult that they have placement better than other top 10. Be a MAN!!
One more thing ... if the data has not been declared officially, then how come there is a press release of 6 hours and 8.3 L. MDI should come forward and deny those Press relase. Then we don't mind waiting for few more days. For me a bang (read exaggerated) press release without any base is a CRIME.
Also I don't think whole of pgp-2 (after placement) is just busy with exams. In any case it takes less than half a day to get that average salary figure and put it on PG.com.
All said and done ... a suggestion for MDI - Rather than pointing finger on other B-Schools (and that too very reputed ones) why don't you prove yourself clean.
One of my friends, who was a part of the PGP-05 batch @ MDI, told me that Shell had come to campus this time, and have offered a salary in excess of 10 lpa... Maybe this would add some "positive" content to the discussion...
I was really pissed off reading all negative comments on the discussion, so thought of coming out with whatever little I know of it. Agree with a lot of views on what everybody has said, but then, lets be fair to MDI. They have seen a phenomenal growth among B-Schools since it came late into the scene. Its just that a quote like this starts a heated discussion which goes on to reach unimaginable levels...
I believe that prospective B-School candidates DO NOT join institutes JUST by looking at salary packages... there's a lot more research that goes into it. One of the prime ones being talking to current students... And as per my knowledge of MDIans, I know a few of them... they would NEVER give false commitments to prospective students... They have been active on this forum, and have really done a lot for us out here.
Maybe this system of "salary" being a dominant factor to judge a B-School has come into place because of the outlook of students. I believe that should not be the case in the first place. It is because of this that institutes (MDI + others) tend to post inflated figures in press releases.
Hope this "positive" post raises the level of discussion...

I have seen many post 1's on PG earlier : from new threads of introduction to "where am i's" ,other naive questions etc...THis is the first time that new joinees just drop into this thread, read thru the whole thread,and out of immense knowledge of the subject at hand, and their own experiences and resourcefulness give a out a wonderfullty targeted post. And each of these n00bies also have someone known in the bschools in discussion! PG, the level of the groups' suddenly increasing man...
have u ppl heard any politician deny or stand by an allegation and the kind of excuses that our good old mdi guys are trying to put do u find any similarity , they are the perfect examples of trying to give general statements on very specific questions .who on earth said mdi guys have not got a launchpad for that even LBS and fore guys get a launchpad and for MDI I think it makes one thing clear that out of all the top b scools here we have a school that constantly tries to emulate an iim a or b or c , why cant u guys be happy with what u are and as far as i can c there is some thing really fishy with the insti and all u probables just check this place very well b4 u decide cozit aint the placements all b schools mange that it is the integrety and self respect that this b school lacks
any ways all the best and study study and study that too after ur placements coz may be u ll nevevr ever get to study again after u join ur jobs, ha ha ha who on earth studies for the last exams tat too after placements
:grab: be what u are nd take pride in that this is bound to happen when some mag ranks u much above wat u deserve
any ways all the best and study study and study that too after ur placements coz may be u ll nevevr ever get to study again after u join ur jobs, ha ha ha who on earth studies for the last exams tat too after placements
Dude... it clearly clarifies ur sheer lack of interest & knowledge towards "trying" to find the truth....
Even after my humble request to wait till our exams get over & we get some info from the placement guys... we get this kind of sadistic reply from u all...
Just for ur information dude.. my placements are still 12 months away... i am a first year student if that rings some bell to ur ears... and i guess when u r in ur third term - exams & grades do matter.... and when i was talking about plecement cell members - they are also from my batch only. ... the junta from senior batch has left the college to enjoy their vacations!!!
So dude... the saying of "think before you leap" applies to u as well... please refrain from such provocative posts if u dont know the exact truth...

Really.. what a nitwit! Posting from an MDI IP. Now this is getting cheaper and cheaper and the only sane person who is holding this together is Prateek. Junta @ MDI, I am sure you know how much I hate impersonation - one more stupid move from this and a lot more people will go on the offensive. Get real.
