In one of the introductory sessions, I remember one of our teachers distinctly suggesting that students pay a humungus sum either emptying their parents life long savings or a future load of loans, to sit through the stipulated months, get a job and get away! He claimed that it has always been this way. There can be no other worse way to tarnish your own image than treating your own profession with desdain. Two years is a long time and even if one could even learn a tip or two everyday from the faculties and friends, it would do a world of good.
I calmed down my emotions and consoled myself 'Al is well', thinking may be it is actually the case with other students. But come to think of it - January is already over!! Commonsense tells that a fiscal year starts on 1st April of every year, therefore companies start afresh by every April. Doesn't it mean- placement season ends by March end. That leaves the entire months of feb and march, lets assume. More than 300 students yet to get placed. Manual counting of the number of mails from the placement cell stands at more than 30! Ask anyone the college how many companies that they have applied to or how many interviews they have actually sat in? Maximum four! Wow.. such a big number when you have more than 100 students vying for 2 or 3 seats. At this rate, arithmatic will eventually take a beating!
Point is , it actually is a really bad scene. The trend is the same everywhere else in bangalore except IIMB (a fav line for evey1). Alliance Business School claims to be the next best B-School in Bangalore. Is it really? Ask any student and you will see a hesistant look!! It is no good sign for any B-School to have so many disgrunted, unsatisfied students and faculties, specially when B-schools are mushrooming everyday. A world class library with a max 20 students at any given time - shameful! A prospective student enquired about the admission process few days back.
1st Q. How good are the faculties?
2nd Q. How is the placement scene?
I did very well to divert his attention to the sprawling campus and the expanse of green,green grass. I am a good salesman, not sure if everyone has an equally big heart and an equally loyal pulse.
