I dont know why but FMS just comes out saying that it is the Marketing Campus though all the marketing companies that visit FMS have been visiting IIMs and many other institutes for years. There isnt a logical connect

An impressive list of companies given the batch size of 230 odd. Bank of America - Merrill Lynch visited IIM ABC for sure. So surely the number is not 2 as stated in the report.

We try our best to verify. But we cannot check with each and every company. Most of the times students from the same institute write to us from their official email id telling us if their placement committee is lying. We ensure complete confidentiality and anonymity of the person writing to us. But we do not take stray comments where a person hasn't revealed his/her identity seriously. If you have solid evidence or if you are from FMS, please write to us from your official email id.

placement team have screwed up the summer placements big time, and this time, International companies likes Olam International, Jumbo Electronics didn't turned up. Finance major : Goldman Sachs, Avendus Capital, Jacob Ballas, O3 Capital, Sequoia Capital, Rotschild Bank, Development Bank of Singapore, didn't turned up because of pathetic work done by our seniors and placement team is all bullshit. so 20-25 niche placements are gone with these companies not turning up. going on the record 16 students have opted out of summer placements. They again failed to crack the major consulting firms like BCG, McKinsel, etc. and adding on to that they screwed up Accenutre Management Consulting which has promised to recruit in chunk from FMS. But Placement committee have put Deloitte ahead of accenture and accenture didn't turned up. Accenture promised to take 5-6 students and placement team .aah... my god. Coming to marketing side, ooops! PEPSI, Nivea, didn't turned up. Companies like Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Vodafone, Aircel could not be retained this time. So Let me tell you guys, it is no more a preferred choice as compared to IIML, and more it has become a sales campus not the marketing one. Only new company which you can see is Morgan Stanley, which is also because it is in cash crunch and they hired cheap from FMS. Till the very last day 28 students could not be placed by placement team and they have been forced to go into firms like, Bank of Baroda, People Soft, Gail etc. at a very low/no stipend. Dream of FMS for them is over. Out of 226 batch 16 opted out, 30-35 students are having placements with very low (<15k) stipend or no stipend. Ok, so far you read this through, and now the concept of multiple offer: No student in campus is allowed to have more than one offer in campus. How multiple offers came up is actually on last day they placed unplaced students in companies like BOB, gail etc. which have offered to more than student, obviously when they are not paying s shit, they can extend their list to 5-10 any number of student. No candidate is having more than one offer in major firm. Lastly, Michael Page came to the campus, but have not recruited anyone from FMS and is a known fact to everyone. Fms summer placement report is manipulated and average stipend has fallen to 95K-1lakh(for two months) as compared to lastly quoted 1.29 Lakh (for two months).

Lol.. No one really cares about your CAT scores once you reach a B-School. Many of those OBC/SC/ST get placed on Day Zero as well. At the same time, some of the general category students are amongst the last 10 to get placed. The skills that are tested during GDs and PIs of campus recruitment are quite different from the ones required for cracking CAT and making it to a B-School.

The following companies have not taken any students but are mentioned in the report Michael page- came to campus but didnot take anyone Zee Networks- never came Tata Steel- Never turned up Singhania group- Never heard abt it in d campus Crisil- came to campus but didnot take anyone 35 people placed with 0 salary on the last day with PSUs/NGOs( Which i believe they could have cracked neways without investing their peak years of life in this college) How can the placecom release such false statements . They are not only lying to the society but are also playing with the future of the unfortunate students. I m still a proud FMSite and am sure we will beat everything on our way.

We are not here to expose any institution. We have set parameters which we feel are important. However, it is the discretion of the institute whether they wish to reveal it or not. A lot of IIMs have the policy of not revealing stipends. A lot of IIMs do not wish to reveal the number of sign outs. Legally, they are not bound to do so.
15 Nov 2012, 03.22 PM |
The Truth
Lets be frank. Some students have poor CV's, poor soft skills and are unprepared for interviews who then go on to blame the placecomm. Getting to a b-school does not erase your past. FMS has a lot of great companies coming and I for a fact know many companies which wanted to make 10-11 offers but did not have suitable candidates especially day 1 onwards. Can someone with 56 percent in 10th and 54 percent in 12th come be a candidate who is easily placed. On top of it the candidate is obessed with stipend and won't even apply to companies who he feels are too low for him. And then there are students who had 30-40 shortlists and still cannot convert. Then if these candidates go around creating a ruckus who is to blame. If you expect a 60-70 k per month as stipend please be candidate worth it. Lets not even talk about higher paying offers. This is not to defame anyone but state the truth. The stipend not being declared is a good thing by allowing students to evaluate a college better before joining. There

Well the problem here is that many companies which were supposed to recruit, did not come to campus. So it is not the batch which is to blame but perhaps the placecom. I refuse to believe that the batch composition dropped drastically this time around as compared to last year and hence companies did not come. A few companies pulling out is fine, but when a string of companies not turning up is not acceptable especially when they visited all other comparable campuses and made offers in large numbers.
15 Nov 2012, 02.51 PM |
The Truth
Do you think the same thing did not happen last year? Every year companies come up for ppt's and don't come for placements or simply do not come at all. 20-30% churn in companies is normal. You want me to take names from last year? Some of the companies get screwed up by the candidates who go there and this can continue for years. This is not the placecomms fault. No placecomm is perfect but they are not there to screw you. Talk to any b-school and I am saying any b-school and ask them about the last 50 or so placements. They will have the same issues there. How can you get a day 0 type company when only 20-30 candidates are left. most companie esp the big ones have huge ego's and will walk off and not come to campus. There is nothing like a batch. Everyone gets placed in his own merit. Why are there ppl at FMS who have an HUL or a TAS convert ? The idea is to look inside and improve but if you can only blame others, that's your choice.

Dude you should read a bit what I said. Companies don't come to campuses for a variety of reasons. If you had desired to ask you would know the reasons for possibly every company. Companies want the slots of their choice or the schedules just don't match. So a few major names may drop out. The batch issues start to come once 100 or so ppl are placed. Placecomm just cant drag a company to campus if they just don't want to come

FMS is (or was) considered as one of the campuses which attract top notch companies. Frankly speaking if all the top notch consulting firms/I Banks flock to ABC, it is not because the placement committees are dragging them to their campuses. The alumni base is responsible for driving their respective companies to the campuses. While the usual list of companies gave FMS a miss this time around, the same companies did visit other campuses. Do you mean to say that FMS alumni have lost faith in their alma mater?' Two- four companies not visiting a campus is fine. Even Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley did not visit IIMC this time around. But a big list of companies not turning up for sure will raise everyone's eyebrows, won't it?

If placecom cant take it on them now itsthe poor students to be blamed for being of no match. The blame game can continue forever and amidst all the lies and deceptions by the placecom at the end of the day its the students who will suffer. Dude people have their career on stake and can match any profile if given the opportunity. here the question is your inability to deliver enough opportunities not theirs ....If the placecom runs away from the responsibilities for the sake of making a 5-day placement completion and celebrations get people placed in LALA companies(all are gud enuf to get on their own) its the students who suffer and if you dont understand their pain the world will never do ...How can you even expect alumni to help us if the current batch cannot address the problems of the 1st yearites?

'the worst kind of lie is a lie mixed with some truth' that is what is going on here, the situation is just not as bad as it is being project by many in pure frustration. Last year same kind of studetns such as yourself were making accusations in IIM L, now this year some at FMS are cribbing and IIM L is happy so its always an up and down story. Every B school has great jobs and some jobs that it wouldnt like to talk about but that doesnt mean you're the only top B school student not getting what he wanted. Be worthy enough to get through when you get short lists, and dont expect any placecom to call a Mckinsey for you on day 6 ... not happening not even at harvard, mckinsey's a top job there too.

The Truth
@Mita- The esteem of the college is as it is. Its the college in India where you get a chance to apply at some of the best brands of India. Some of these companies go to only 5-6 colleges in India or less. Secondly I never meant that the last 30-40 students are not good. Sometimes its a lot of luck. But this is life. This is just a summers job, The students who work hard can have opportunities for finals. And its very easy to say that enough opportunities were not available. There were over 80 companies. Were not these oppurtunities enough? If one has difficulty cracking even 1 of 20-30 interviews whats to be done. Or he does not apply to any company because they are too small for him. Yet instead of retrospection this has become a forum to slander FMS. I have seldom seen such poor conduct from individuals. Despite excellent placements someone would have the idea placements were screwed at FMS from this forum. I don't have a super profile but I can honestly judge myself. Coming to FMS does not make a person's a God's gift to earth. Companies want certain profiles or at least something outstanding in a person. Please look at your profile and honestly answer why you deserve a 80 k summer stipend.

I would also like to point out how the Placecom team 'generally' ends up getting placed within Day zero to 1/2....That too mostly in good companies!!!! So there is always the possibility of manipulation while handling the placement duties side by side....... That the Placecom team indulges in such work is a well known fact and thus, I can fully agree with the anuguish shared on this thread......Placecom teams are excellent at botching up placement schedules and misusing their roles and responsibilities for their own benefits.....I am not just referring to FMS....this is a trend at quite a few places.
