ISB grads rake in INR 1 crore
Posted by itheabsolute on March 31, 2006
Grab today’s ET. It talks about ISB’s $ salaries………. As many as five graduates seem to have been offered $ 200,000 salaries and this is unprecedented in the history of Indian B-schools. Though the highest salary number is yet to be released, it is rumored that at least one of them may have been offered a salary higher than the all time high salary received by a IIMC grad in 2001 – $ 225000. There is no report on the INR salaries yet. Another week to go before the numbers come out officially.
Though I was quick to post this, I have not left behind my belief that flashing out top few salaries are a marketing feat of the b-schools and the crave of our Media for these stories as it is easy to sell them. A b-school is much more than the top salaries grabbed by a few people. And thus, evaluation of a b-school should be based on various non-financial metrics as well.

Hi Vijay, been more of a silent reader of your blog. They are always so articulately written and yet devoid of excess flab. Gave me a very interesting insight into a so eventful life @ ISB. Plan to app next year for it. Wishing you all the best for the Consulting Carreer ahead.
Cheers,
Chirantan

I didnt grab ET.. oh hell.. I wrote the story so why shud I.
You know..ppl hv this perception(s) about media and its reinforced by some factors becuz ppl want it that way.
Ya Media does luk for such quantified stuff to give to readers becuz thats what ppl want to read..Having said that it is not meant to increase sales.. it never actually increases sales.
And we are just reporting chief.. its a news which is a news and well a news!
the gyan and the unglamorous stuff is left for the editorials!
As for judging a B-Schhol.. if a student just goes ahead full throttle for one which recorded the highest offer in the “previous year” then he is a fool of first order.
At that level a student shud hv his own hed to decided how to interpret a news and if he doesnt then I m sorry to say he is full of $#@!
