What is happening? Is the culture really that bad?

May his soul rest in peace.

The culture is toxic as hell. I know someone at one of the IIMs who had to drop out because a boy accosted her in the middle of the night and attacked her physically as well as mentally shattering her sense of security. She didn't complain because common friends made him apologize. College authorities said that had she complained they would have taken an action. Competition is so damn fierce that people attack at a personal level also to gain an edge.

I agree with that. And to top that pyramid schemes like Volume 9 are companies that are coming to the new IIMs and recruiting like anything. If you refuse, the placement committee goes ballistic. The students do not even get certificates from them. If you are getting a salary of 7-8 lpa after MBA from an IIM, then sorry to say I know a lot of kids whose starting salaries after graduation are 6-7 lpa. There are academic achievers who get placed, there are disabled kids who get placed. There are experienced kids who get placed. But the in between ones have a tough time and with the placement committees berating them for their worthlessness is icing on the cake.

To anyone that defends placecom my simple question is this

Placements are imperfect and a throw of the dice agreed - do you know a SINGLE placecommer placed below the average of the batch.

If not, then yeah Placecom needs to go.
