Well, there will always be exceptions. Should we generalize and quote exceptions as examples? HBS once back in the past glorified scam stricken Enron Corporation!

It is a two-sided platform where great faculty meets great students. In India, the quality of students is good. But the deterioration in the quality of faculty across tiers is much greater than the decline in the quality of students. India does not have good quality PhD programmes. There is very limited development of PhD and research infrastructure for management programmes. India relies on practising managers to become teachers, but they are not trained to do research or think meaningfully. The problem in higher education is even worse because we don't have very good teachers. India has 2,000-odd business schools with a 60,000-strong faculty. But how many PhDs in management graduate from each year? Possibly about 1,500; so there is an order of magnitude gap already. You can't build institutions of quality if you don't have people who have made a commitment to be high-quality faculty members. Too many people confuse the ability to deliver a great lecture for an hour with the ability to deliver a great course. Very few faculty members in India can do this. It's not that they have bad intentions; it's just that they don't have the skill.

However, big B Schools would remain to bask in their glories because of their legacy - think of the time they began their journey - HBS 1908, Wharton 1882! In business, there is always an advantage of being the first or' few first'.
In India, tier two/three B Schools, as compared with their western counterparts or the ones in top tier in India, are practically in their infancy. Even if headed and taught by IIT, IIM scholars, they are destined to struggle a lot, may be for decades, at least to reach tier one milestone.
The struggle is not alone for quality, there is also a point of survival in raging competition. I am sure HBS, Wharton, IIMs , XLRI never faced it nor are they destined to. Kudos to the faculty fraternity of the lesser known B Schools, who despite the odds, are committed to their choice of being in B Schools.
Big B Schools induct the creams, but the ones below them stretch far and wide to improve the content and format of the intakes. If they can change one, isn't that a great achievement?
Finally, when we crib for quality, why are we so impatient to achieve the benchmark tomorrow? One must allow the time for quality - a baby delivered before nine months is premature.

May be. But what about Man mohan Singh and Chidambaram. (2 G scam and Andhra Telangana separation)They came from big B schools. How many scams and disturbances created by them?. Who taught them all these. Does their MBA Degree or Faculty of big B schools? May be Forbes overlooked these points.

What is your analysis of India's business schools?
