Mint talks about first time recruiters at IIMs this year. Some of them are concerned that eventhough students have accepted the offers, they may not turn up when the joining date comes in May.
Tarun Matta, who graduated from IIM-I in 2003 and recently quit his day job to nurture iimjobs.com, a portal for job seekers, said that IIM graduates are under “loads of pressure to land good jobs” and many of them would have accepted offers simply to let their school complete the placement process.iimjobs.com has 25-30 resumes from fresh IIM graduates, indicating they are in the market for new jobs, even after all the six IIMs declared placements closed. Matta expects job portals to get more popular because of this churn.

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
