I just came across this interesting thread on the IIM-ISB debate fo placements this session...
...........
Somebody wrote:"I am not writing this as a reprsentative of ISB alumni community,but we must all realize one thing ,its difficult times for everyone and in such times placement is not the only criteria you should base a decison upon if yo are an MBA aspirant .MBA is an experience and a long term investment.So carefully weigh your options.And commenting on the ISB-IIM comparison ,I think its as useless as the exit poll opinions:).Both schools have diffeernt batch profile,different pedagogy and different targeted job profiles for placements.Plus in ISB people come with significant work experience and are very clear about where they want to head to.So lot of high salary offers are also turned down unless the roles and responsibilities are meaty enough.So if placements puts a question mark on the credibilty ir quality of the institute then the inseads,whartons,havards of the world will also be as useless as ISB is:)
So what say ...this has infact made me think how not so distinctively we base our decsions and opinions on B-school ratings and how well made is it.ISB being a deemed institute by one and all in our country also has to undergo such a severe scrutiny,overlooking its last 50 years of rich heritage and contributions to the business world.
