B-schools in Delhi NCR are hitting the jackpot in placement 2016 and are making headlines whereas many IIMs are still starving to finalize their campus placement. It appears that brand IIM is losing its charismatic magic of high and 100% placement figures as 8 of the 19 IIMs are yet to be through their placement season. While 3 are to go for final placement, 5 are still starving for summer placement. Ironically these are non-IIMs and other private B-schools where the placement 2016 season has not only achieved great success but has also broken past records.

Even after getting shortlisted and converting the call to a few of the B-schools, it remains a tough decision to take whether I am choosing the right B-school. I am supposed to choose the right MBA or PGDM programme at the right B-school where I would be investing the precious 2 years of my youth, will defer employment for another 2 years, invest a lot of money to earn my PGDM or MBA after which I will throw myself open in the business market for hiring by the big corporates or if some good sense prevails during the course period may opt for start up.
