Everything official about it!
Finally, ISB came out with its official placement info yesterday with simultaneous press conferences in Hyderabad & Delhi. All the TV channels started flashing out the news noon onwards - Rs. 1 cr is a magical figure to splash across in the media. After all, the media does thrive on sensationalism & I could see firsthand proof that it was successfull in creating the desired effect when a couple of family friends/relatives called up & talked to me in over excited tones as if someone had just given me a suitcase full of Rs. 1 cr. The fact that it was a dollar salary converted to rupees & that 1/345 student had gotten it was apparently lost on them.
But, media hype aside, the ISB placement numbers were very good. It was interesting to see that the kind of profiles offered ranged from COO levels to Head - Marketing to Country Manager sorts. The shift in fields for a few students was also unique. As I've mentioned in a previous post, mentioning average salaries & highest salaries is just part of the data. Median salaries, lowest salaries & no. of students in each salary range also need to be mentioned. Still, for those interested in the numbers, here goes -
Average Indian salary - Rs. 11.77 lakhs
Highest Indian salary - Rs. 30.34 lakhs
Average International salary - USD 120,700
Highest International salary - USD 233,800
425 offers were made by 143 companies to 328 students who participated in the process. About 10% of the offers were iternational positions.
Our batch is going to have one hell of a time topping these numbers & the expectations next year will be sky high!

i remember the time i was told the only thing that is understood universally, irrespective of language or race, is a Smile. Unfortunately, now i see its the same with money. Its spooky the way everybody measures Success in terms of money, when it actually means so much more... an idealistic point of view perhaps, but good enough to stick to till you're either disillusioned, or a millionaire.... wishing you all the best, Swapnil.. :)
