Amol Agarwal asks elite Indian business schools and universities to showcase their research efforts too:

I still don’t understand this placement mania in the media. One can understand a weekly column to cover the issue but we see a regular full page dedicated to the events. It is sad that the only way these elite colleges engage the media is on the placement prospects. Is that the only thing that these education temples have to offer?

The most important parameter for a good school is its quality of research and unfortunately, this is something we never get to read. Unlike the west, where the media profiles faculties and their research, all we get to hear from these schools is on placements.
