Another year, another email this time from Indian Institute of Management Kashipur, asking unplaced students to “opt out” of placements. Yes, after charging ₹16–17 lakhs in fees, these B-schools are now asking students to voluntarily exit the placement process, not because they got jobs, but so the institute can close its placement cycle on paper and flaunt bloated statistics in the next year’s brochure. “𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗽𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁...” Translation: 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒖𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒂 𝒔𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔. This isn’t just misleading. It’s institutional gaslighting. While institutes push the “100% placement” narrative, the reality is: ✔️ Some students never even get shortlisted ✔️ Many sit through cycles with no offers ✔️ And now they’re being politely told to disappear from the stats Why is there no audit on these placement reports? Why do B-schools continue to mislead aspirants year after year? It’s time for students, alumni, recruiters, and education authorities to demand transparency and ethics in placement reporting. MBA aspirants deserve truth, not brochures wrapped in deceit. Dharmendra Pradhan apart from focussing on just visiting different states for winning elections, start looking on your department works too. #MBARealityCheck #IIMKashipur #HigherEdScam #TransparencyInPlacements #MBAIndia #StudentVoices #CampusPlacementReality #EducationEthics

Some of IIM Kashipur current students were furious on me for stating the truth now it's time to listen from the Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirappalli ones. Placement data for the IIM Trichy Batch of 2023–2025, obtained through an RTI, revealed that around 59 students were left unplaced from both the course PGPM - Core and PGPM HR. #IIMTrichy #IIMTiruchirappalli #PlacementStats #BSchoolPlacements
