Summer Placements At MDl. A overview.
So, A lot of people think getting into a celebrated Tier 1 B school means instant placements and everyone close to the median **advertised** numbers, And if I am just a little hardworking, I would surely get the top 20 percent stipend. But thats not all. Process is highly rigged, with numbers often fudged to make things sound different than what they are. **Advertise** to no ra*ging bhi krte hai. Lol
Here are just some of the lower tier roles being brought to the campus, and the quality will keep falling as time goes on.
Are all roles like this? NO there are many roles clustered around with 1lpm or 1.25lpm stipend. And some highly celebrated ones going 1.5/2lpm too, but they are not the norm
So everyone gets a chance to shoot their shot? No.
Many with good profiles but worse than their peers never get shortlises from good companies. Some never get a shortlist till the very end. Same people keep getting all the good shortlist again and again. Or you can be a freind with Place comm. That always helps, even if you werent qualified.
So if I manage to get a shortlist, I can always wow the recruiters with my capabilities right? Shortlist is just the first step, right? Actually no. MDl just like FMS plays with something called. A "cheetsheet". They collect all the interview and process data and questions from students and collect them into a cheet sheet which is provided to students before interviews. Even recruiters don't know that the students have been coached about the exact process and questions that they will face. So if you and every one of your competitior is aware of the upcomimg questions. What more can you do? You will end up right around the same performance. And if the other guy has a better profile, he will simply get 1 more top tier offer.
Many will get multiple while others strugfge to convert even 1, or naybe even struggle for a shortlist. Dont think if there were (hypothetically) 400 offers for 325 students, than it was all roses. Many of the high paid offers went to same people again and again who applied. Later on you don't have a choice to choosez you have to apply to companies or you are out of the process if you don't apply.
At the end, there are forced opt outs, people finding unpaid interships own their own, and the parties claiming 100 percent placements.
Is it worth the weeks of ragging and sleepless abusive nights? Well that's for you to decide when you choose the college you join.
Is it the same at all other tier 1? Maybe maybe not. Depends. When you say tier 1, there's a vast gap between real OGs and the hyped ones.
Courtsey: current MDI students. Thanks for your inputs.
PS: anyone wanna see cheetsheets? Definitely recruiters don't wanan know they are being punked, lol.
