Newspapers have been reporting, with great glee, the jobs offered to graduating students from IIMs and IITs and other schools. Placement offices of these schools feed incomplete information to journalists, who supplement it with some anecdotal information from students, and the result is news stories that essentially scream "Graduates Have Hit the Jackpot." Apparently, students are receiving salary offers that vary between 24 lakh rupees to crores of rupees- in fact, some students have been offered salaries of $150 K and above, according to these reports. None of these newspaper reports or the schools themselves comment on the education the students have received. Or is that implied in the reports about salaries?
Cheating and plagiarism, based on author's own experience and other first hand information, is quite common even in the top educational institutions. Most of the time the culprits receive just a slap on the wrist.
A long way to go- a way made even longer by the sloshing of easy money.
