good initiative by ISB, but 1 article has always made me skeptic about the school's claims
Please check if they can justify the international placement figures on their official site for class of 2007.
https://www.isb.edu/media/UsrSiteNewsMgmt.aspx?topicID=181considering 2007, the figures are simply stunning and beat HSW hands down, which is quite unlikely for a young school, not so high in international rankings.
I think I got an accurate response from ISB in the worst possible way - they removed the page content 3 days after I posted
The controversial page content was:
2007 Placement Summary
Over all, the Class of 2007 at the ISB has achieved excellent placement results. The average domestic salary was Rs15.03 lacs with the highest domestic offer being Rs 43.91 lacs. The average international salary was USD 135,000 ( Rs 59.5 lacs ) while the highest international salary was USD 269,000 (Rs1.18crores) “The high CTC levels demonstrate the confidence that companies have in the high quality of the ISB’s management talent, said Dean Rao. He also added a word of caution saying, “We need to take a balanced view of international offers given by multinational companies. I urge everyone to use these figures in the proper context so that potential students may get the correct picture of what they can achieve in a management institution.” The Class of 2007 graduated on April 7, 2007 at a grand ceremony during which Shri Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, was the Chief Guest. The new Class of 2008 will join the ISB on April 15, 2007.For the skeptic ones, I have attached the saved page here.
Dear eYsYs,
If there would have been a correlation between your post and the removal of the page, as you claim, it would have not taken them three full days to do so..
Their website, just like those of other reputed colleges anywhere else in the world, is viewed not only by prospective students but also by recruiters, govt. policy makers and the ilk.
Frankly, if they even cared a little about the 'visibility' of a web page with allegedly questionable content, they would have removed it long ago and would not have waited until some one posted a link to that page on a forum.
ISB admissions team is directly reachable through phone and email. You could pick this up with them in case you want to verify the validity..
All the best for your MBA journey!
cheers!
and btw, the page is
NOT removed.
the link still works..!
