Cause-Effect Diagram: Poor Placement of Students
1. Infrastructure/ Location 2.Student Quality 3. Performance of stakeholders
Poor placement
4. faculty/education quality 5. College Ranking
Causes for key root causes:
1. Infrastructure/ Location
- Location of college is at some remote location and access to industry is poor
- Poor infrastructure, buildings
- Poor resources such labs , systems, Network
- Weather MBA is a flagship program in that college. (Eg; IITs offer MBA but it is not
their flagship program)
- Poor connectivity form industrial hubs such as Metro cities (IIM shilliong and IIM
Kashipur)
- Access to industries
- Perception of industries about college (IIT is perceived to be more into technical and
operations profile)
- Bigger batch strength

2. Student Quality
- Vast difference in intake criteria for category candidates such lower score make
them eligible.
- Student’s poor communication and interpersonal skills
- No prior experience of the student
- No clear objective towards purpose of doing MBA

- Lack of coordination in the team
- Lack of transparency with the student
- Not so good scheduling and arrangement
B. College:

- If college schedule is delayed, the placement process will also be delayed. Hence,
the company requirement might also get saturated
- Not supportive in the corporate competitions
- Lack of Public Relation between college and companies
- College image.
- Quality of entrance exams accepted for intake of students (Cat/Xat/ IITJEE)
C. Seniors:

diluted due to lower ranks.
At last, there are also external factors which effect the placements. Such as if market is not
supportive or there are some natural calamities.

Solutions
1) Infrastructure / Location
a) For improving location we can’t do much as such but we can open some new branches
of college in better location if it is economically viable. For example: IIM Indore has
opened up a new branch in Mumbai for better location.
b) With respect to development of infrastructure, some investors or charitable
organization can be looked for as placement is one of important criteria in rankings.
c) Also, highly successful alums could be requested for funding.
d) College with poor location can minimize this disadvantage by establishing better
communication and connectivity between college and industry locations. For Example:
IIM Shillong despite relatively older institute does not have that good placement as it
should have been but IIT Ranchi with the same trait is growing very rapidly with its
better connectivity and communication.
2) Student Quality
a) Programs to improve interpersonal skills and communication of students should be
given highest regard.
b) Admission process should be rigorous for getting good quality of student.
c) Collaborative Practicum in terms of exposure to industrial experts should be given to
students in addition to theoretical knowledge which will give them industrial
perspective.
d) Course curriculum should be properly chosen after proper discussion with leaders and
industry requirements.
3) Bettering the performance of stake holder
a) Selecting smart students and faculty placement coordinator for the placements cell.
b) Giving best performance by the students during the summer internship.
c) Improving overall performance and ranking of the college.
d) Selecting placement team through rigorous process and giving them proper training
afterwards.
e) Holding meeting between placement team and faculty members at regular intervals to
know their issues.
f) Live cases should be given to students improve college stature.

4) Faculty/Education Quality
a) Good quality of faculty should be chosen as it directly reflects on the quality of students.
b) Proper training should be given to faculties so as to improve their qualities.
c) Along with faculty qualification, faculty should be judge on their capability of proving
those knowledge in an efficient ways.
d) Faculty and student exchange program should be promoted exchange ideas and hence
improve qualities.
e) Student should be bestowed with industrial trips for giving new dimension to their
perspective.
f) Promoting research oriented program in university will improve overall quality of
education.
5) College Ranking
a) Improvement in Infrastructure / Location, Student Quality, performance of stake holder
and faculty/education quality will automatically improve college ranking.
b) Public Relation of college should be improved in order to get true ranking of college.
c) Continuous development and new program should be introduced which helps in
improving college ranking.
d) Other activities should also be promoted for all members of university as it constitutes
an important criteria in ranking a college.

given utmost importance.
