Why Placement Committee Members Get The Best Jobs On Campus: Explained By An IIM Graduate

The Placement Committee, or Placecomm, is one of the most coveted committees on a business school campus. Despite all the hate that Placecommers may get, at b-school, this is one of the most sought-after committees to join. So why is that? What are the advantages that come with joining the Placement Committee? Is it true that Placecommers get the best jobs on campus? If yes, why is that? How do Placecommers have an edge over others during the b-school placement process? And what are the cons of joining the placement committee?
In this video, an IIM Kozhikode alumnus who has also been to business schools for recruitment explains why it can be in your favor to join the Placement Committee at b-schools, and how it can land you your dream job on campus!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The InsideEdge series brings to you the answers to all the questions that you may have about what happens during and after an MBA. Which committees is it advantageous to join if you want the best jobs on campus? How do you structure a CV that can land you your dream Consulting job? What are the post-MBA career opportunities in sought-after domains like Consulting and Finance? How do you win campus competitions and earn a pre-placement offer from your dream companies; these are some of the many questions that will be answered with facts, figures, and brutal honesty.
The InsideEdge series is presented by Akshaykumar Sirsalewala, a Chartered Accountant who completed all levels of CFA and joined IIM Kozhikode to get his MBA, graduating in 2020. Post-MBA, Akshay joined Deloitte India as a Consultant. Akshay will bring to you an honest account of life at and beyond a business school to help you become better prepared for the future!

    Conveniently missed the part where they bully the batchmates, hurl abuses at them, lack any sort of transparency, misuse their power to send separate resume for every company, have utter disregard for shortlisting criteria and even demand sexual favours(in extreme cases like IIM L). P.S. : They might be able to get into great companies but can't even name a single 'friend' from campus.

    Thanks for sharing this. Can't believe the lengths B-schools go to, both internally and externally, to keep the world from knowing what placecommers actually do to students. There is no justification for their behaviour but students going through the process at the time can't really raise their voice against it because so much is at stake for them. It's even more saddening to see such KZread channels who can actually help influence change peddling propaganda and presenting biases that harm the batch as "perks" of being a placecommer. What a rotten system.

Regarding the police complaint part, they have the power to debar students from the recruitment process and students spending 15-20 lacs for their degrees do not want to risk placements. So the cycle goes on.
