INFLATED/MISLEADING PLACEMENT STATS IN IIIT A
I don't care if this post get downvotes but here me out, I am writing this with pure frustration and disappointment. I checked last year IIIT A placement stats, which was provided by the institute when RTI was filed, the below one.
In this, the total avg of all branch was mentioned as 33LPA. But individually, the branch-wise avg of IT - 30.83LPA, IT-BI - 32.09LPA and ECE - 27.14LPA. My instant process told me that's not at all possible since the total avg can't be more than highest branh-wise avg, which is of IT - BI.
Now coming to the reason of this discrepancy - I had asked this same doubt in the IIIT A telegram group, and there were few answers to it but none seemed satisfactory. Then one senior told me this
This comment is from their telegram help group - IIITA'30
This is very misleading, ppl will seem to think the avg of the institute is very high but not knowing that they use multiple offers of candidate to calculate it. This doesn't look good upon them.
The reason of this post is not to prevent ppl from joining IIIT A or bad PR. This is to know that don't believe the numbers given by any institute blindly. This is also a part of my frustration since I had a plan of joining this clg thinking its placements were genuine, have even supported and defended some comments calling out the inflation of the stats earlier. Now I know that I have been on the wrong side.
Also, I don't know if they remove some low package students while calculating the branch-wise stats. Might be wrong on my side, but this is also one of the possible reason.
