IIM salaries: Is the media going overboard?

While IIM-A has bagged the highest salary package in the Rs 60 lakh to Rs 1 crore bracket for domestic placements and $2,25,000 to $3,00,000 for international placements, it's ironical that 15 students could not pa  out from IIM-A this year. While the media goes berserk highlighting zooming salaries, there is little focus on these i ues or? lowest salaries bagged by the students. For i tance, the highest domestic salary of Rs 22 lakh at IIM-Kozhikode was a who ing 233 per cent more than the lowest offer of Rs 6.6 lakh and the highest offer of Rs 18 lakh at IIM-Indore was over 200 per cent more than the lowest offer of Rs 6 lakh. The highest salaries are always bagged by students who have 3-4 years of work experience.I tead of focu ing on the achievements of IIM graduates or graduates of other B schools who have excelled in terms of work and contribution to the society, the media kee  harping on salaries which are bagged by just by the to ers. Is this a good trend? Is it fair to just focus on salaries of the premium B-school graduates? Does it make se e to write volumes about IIM grads' salaries? [b]Tell us[/b]?your views.
