i guess thats a question of the gone days. now a days they sure are UNDER-PAID. the recession has defenately done its part...
Can you arrange for their resume's please Rohan.
My understanding is that they got placed in finance sector as vp's or cfo's.
I'd love to hear what their salaries and profiles were before they got into IIM.
I'm assuming these guys who bagged amazing packages have proven past track record which is enhanced by an IIM degree and hence the packages.
Would like someone to throw more light on the topic
In most cases, MBAs are not really overpaid but the C2C figures given by companies and inflated media reports show false figures (as happened in recent IIMB placement report). For correct reports, one must check the placement report published on websites of B-schools.
So yes the ctc and the inhand amounts vary and are inflated significantly by the media. Again, seeing the breakup one could fairly say that over 50 % students who got into IIM A had work experience.
So a lot of profiles would actually happen as lateral placement which eventually justifies their salary.
