Dark secrets about premier colleges

In another college, there is no resume vetting and people can and do add a lot of BS "achievements". This is also the college with the largest intake and almost every second person has something like a director's merit list or an honors' list or they are a 'torchbearer'.

"Just got to know recently that a tier 1 mba college didn’t conduct interviews as part of their admission process during covid. Just CAT scores sufficed. " MBA interviews are totally bs though, so it may not have mattered. Though I don't have an MBA, I applied for MBA last year and interviewed at few b-schools such as ISB, NUS, NYU etc. The entire setup is tailor made for people who can tell stories (it reminded me of Amazon LP round 😂). Tech interviews based on leetcode may not be perfect, but they are wayy more objective than these oral interview rounds ever could. In such oral interviews, where even the interviewers expect you to exaggerate your impact.

College marketed with the best ROI in the country

One of the IIM ABC - my friend had an impressive CAT score, in the interview, the interviewer was an equally large cricket fan as my friend, for the entire duration of the interview, thats all that they discussed, he got in :) Pits 🅱️ilani - students get internships and offer from FAANGMULA just on the basis of cgpa, hardly any interviews or coding tests are taken, just because students of 🅱️ilani have "builder mindset"

CAT is the most bullshit exam, mostly a fluke. Then comes the selection criteria of top bschools another bs to be honest barring few top 3-4 bschools. Most of the students dont learn anything except for making up good stories which the world can believe. Best part is MNCs sell them a dream of luxury life and ppl are happy selling shampoos, soaps, sodas and they think they are changing the world. Bschools are all just money minting machines who just sells fake dreams. 24yr old gets 40-50L ctc and they think they will be the next CEO of FAANG but thts not how it works. Reality hits hard I know some of the ppl who are in depression or just tired of all this drama taken huge education loan and now car loan bcz hey if you are working for big 3 consulting firms you have to drive atleast 25L worth of car right. Its all just a vicious circle driven by showoff and jealousy.

Cat score usually has ~50% weightage during admissions so nothing new here. And exams are useless in MBA anyway. Hell 90% of the shit you learn is inconsequential so I bet even with all this fuckery those people will get good placements just based on college name. Similar shit I read a few days back on X that someone was complaining that people are getting Faang internships by cheating on coding tests, so nothing new

Heard of rape case being suppressed by wardens of hostel in many supposedly reported IITs. Obviously , female students raped by males.

I recently graduated from a Tier 1 MBA: 1. Interview was taken but there was no GD during the admission. 2. Exams were completely online in the first year so students used everything possible (google, WA etc.) to write answers. 3. CV screening was strict during placements (everyting was verified two times) PS: Placements at MBA are totally luck based, your profile doesn't guarantee you a specific company no matter how good it is.

Just got to know from few friends that at one of the tier-1 engineering college, companies give offers without any interviews, just based on the cgpa.

What a post to read. 😦

Second part might be true as even I have heard of the same. First part I don't think so.

Which college?

I gave my CAT during the COVID times, and selection is all over the place, I saw people with sub 80% in CAT get shortlisted for New/baby IIMs yet I wasn't shortlisted even with >90% non engg grad. Anything happens here, luck and other things make a huge slice of the MBA admission pie, not just CAT.

Which specific college?

How do u know that the college is tier 1 because it didn’t sound like one

Dip

Tier 1 Du ug clg. Those placements numbers are a Lie. The highest placement 40 + is prolly from someone who worked their ass off and got an off campus offer. Non tech freshers earn on an averages 50-60kish only, it's super exaggerated. Outliers are there.

Any reason for keeping tier 1 college name anonymous?
