New IIMs enforce a strict one-offer-per-student policy where whoever announces selection first keeps you. The ex-placecom AMA host confirmed: "Whoever tells the results first gets to keep you." At new IIMs like Rohtak (Rs 16L fees, Rs 18 LPA avg, 93%+ CAT cutoff) and Ranchi (Rs 14L fees, Rs 17 LPA avg, 92%+ CAT cutoff), the placement week is rolling and you cannot strategically wait for a better offer.
The one notable exception: if placecom learns you have multiple offers secretly, they'll tell the first recruiter "this person is already placed" to steer the second offer to another student. In the placement week (Day 0, Day 1), companies come in descending order of stipend/salary - so higher-pay firms visit first. During rolling placements, company order is random.
Practical advice: don't chase every shortlist expecting to pick the best. Prepare deeply for the top 5-10 companies at your college based on placement report data. The systemic unfairness: placecom members at new IIMs have strong control over which candidates get shown to recruiters - the AMA host admitted "placement cell abuse will not stop.
" Your best defence: strong profile + strong interview prep that makes you impossible to overlook. Check your eligibility at collvera.
