Saw this post and thought that posts like these often go viral because they capture both the awe and skepticism around MBA placements. Yes, earning ₹3.5L per month as a summer intern sounds unreal but it’s not entirely fake.

Top B-schools like the IIMs do have companies offering such stipends for high-impact roles in consulting, finance, and strategy. However, that doesn’t mean every IIM student earns this much, or that only an IIM tag guarantees success. It’s a mix of brand, skill, performance, and opportunity.

The degree alone doesn’t make magic happen but it definitely opens doors that are harder to access otherwise. So no, it’s not just “PR of MBA” it’s partly hype, partly truth, and mostly the reward for years of effort.
