Is IIIT Guwahati's placement stats really fake and incomplete?

The credibility of certain placement stats attached to IIIT Guwahati is a whole different idea that various people clearly do not grasp. One of my friends, being part of the institute, has shed light on the topic. Here is a brief approach to it,

1. Several graduates join start-ups. The infrastructure is simple. Companies have their own starting point. 
2. Computer engineers mainly join start-ups because they want to put growth in their innovations.
3. IIIT Guwahati provides students with degrees, skills, and required education to pursue jobs. They do not strain their students to take up jobs in sectors that they are not willing to take otherwise.
4. Students should take up job seats in well-known companies with their skills. They have the freedom to choose what they want to pursue, whether it is a well-renowned IT sector or a start-up they either want to establish or be part of.

Having said that, when an authority updates or posts placement stats, they are diligently verified. Apart from any small mistake, the information provided is approved. After the first round of verification, it undergoes the second from the director of the institute. 

You should primarily understand whether or not the student has taken up their job in either an IT giant or a start-up.
