Why is IIM Lucknow so secretive about placement statistics, unlike other IIMs?

Unlike IIM A who reports the placement correctly and follows IPRS, every other IIM doesn’t do the same. But this secretive nature of IIM Lucknow does not conclude that it has a bad or average placement. There are few factors regarding this clause, and some of them are listed below.

• The placement of IIM Lucknow is quite good. But, there are cases of mentioning increased and inflated figures in data, and average salaries are used instead of median salaries.
• According to the newspapers, most of them get huge salary packages, which is not exactly true. 80% of the entire batch get good salary packages, while the bottom 20% struggle to get decent packages. This is the case across many B schools in India.
• There are several factors that matter in placement, which include the number of recruiters visiting the campus, the number of big brands and new brands, the average salary of top 100-200 students, etc.

So, no detailed reports are provided from IIM Lucknow regarding their placement. Detailed information is usually received from insiders like alumni and professors, without disclosure in identity.
