Comprehensive Placement Reports of the year 2008 has been published by www.coolavenues.com. Though it considers the flagship programs of various institutes, one thing is quite emerging out of it, that is XLRI has kept its position as the No. 1 Private Management institute. The Placement Report compares the placement statistics of various two year courses of the IIMs with the top private management institutes. XLRI has jumped up its position and is ahead of various IIMs in case of placement and the number of offers made. IIM Ahmedabad is seeing a fall in its international offer figure whereas IIM Calcutta is catching up. The year 2009 might be worse for the IIMs as institutes like XLRI and SP Jain would march ahead as the issue of reservation might detract recruiters from the IIMs. Though the IIMs have increased the number of seats to take in the Other Backward Classes, the fact is that Management is taught not merely in the classrooms whereas a large part is through mutual interaction of the peer group and the faculty members. If the IIMs have downgraded their quality for keeping the reservation intact, it is going to affect their overall standard of interaction. The brand name of the IIMs may help them -- but to what extent one has to wait and watch till the next placement season.
