Bloodbath in management….atrocities abound….newspapers are agog with news of IIM graduates seeking resort to naukri.com and other job portals. “Is it really them?” we ordinary mortals wonder. They who snubbed and scoffed in arrogance at such trespasses. But truly, it is a fall from grace. Management as a discipline is necessary, but the perks were a bit overrated. After all, 24 year olds, rubbing shoulders with people with over 24 years of experience, expecting those kids to implement whatever they have learned over a short span of 2 years, not realizing how far is the classroom from the boardroom. But this was shocking! Most people think along the lines “If this is the fate of the IIMs, then what about others?” True, when it comes to placements, the other institutes will not be able to rise to the occasion. But all the students should take heart. Pending liabilities and loans and EMIs notwithstanding, students should grab this opportunity to study recessionary behavior. I hope it does not come around for a long long time…and leaves behind enough lessons for everyone to learn.
