Re: [MTC Global] IIMs divided over NDA govt's new draft bill

Dear Sir, From the posts, this is clear:
That the term IIM is misleading.There are old ones and the new ones, each facing a
different set of problems.
That Brand IIM actually belongs to the older IIMs.
That a one size fit all solution is not suitable.
That the problem of recognition of the education diploma is not faced by the older IIMs
as they have adequate placement in the Industry.
The newer IIMs could be renamed as IIBMs or IIMS to distinguish them from the older ones
just as the NITs are diffrent from the IITs and so are the new IITs different from the
older five IITs. The change of nomenclature could enable the draft to become flexible in
application.
In its present form the draft will do more harm than good. The present Govt will respond
if the Industry and its chambers put down their side of the story as interested
stakeholders in business education. It is well that they don't stand apart but eminent
people like Shri AM Naik, Shri Deepak Parekh, and Shri Adani also voice their concern
about such creeping centralization of Indian education.

If certain IIMs want to accept govt. proposals why one assumes the decision out of no
choice  . It may be the best decision in interest of their institution.

This news-item quoted by you is misleading since it frivolously presumes one size fits
all. It is like the story where animals - elephant, cow, deer, lion, leopard, rabbit and
rabbit - all being asked to climb a tree or take part in a race with same winning
parameters.
All IIMs are different with their individual distinguishing core competencies and pros &
cons. Older three IIMs - Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta are well established, which
have not been taking any funds from the government now for over a decade. They would
naturally oppose any move for undermining their autonomy and more so, since their
diploma is rated higher nationally and internationally as compared to MBA degree from
any university in India. As per a study, presently among the Indian CEOs worldwide,
overwhelming around 65% are from IIMs and out of them around 75% are from IIMA.
As compared to IIMs A, B & C; other IIMs specially newer ones are heavily dependent on
the government for funding. Therefore, naturally they have no choice but to toe the
government line.
In view of the above, there is bound to be difference in approaches to IIMs Bill by
various IIMs.

NEW DELHI: IIM is a divided parivar over the new draft bill moved by the government with
some saying it will turn the institutes into "mere operating centres" with no autonomy
while others have welcomed the provisions on grant of degrees instead of diplomas and
the focus on research.


On Thursday, A M Naik, chairperson of the board of governors of IIM-Ahmedabad joined the
institute';s director Ashish Nanda and IIM-Bangalore director Sushil Vachani in
protesting against the draft IIM bill.


Naik, also chairperson of engineering giant Larsen & Toubro, said the proposed bill will
curtail "autonomy", reduce IIMs to "mere operating centres" and give the Centre
"sweeping powers". He said the earlier draft agreed upon by IIMs and the HRD ministry
was completely changed. Naik said the bill was floated suddenly and IIMs got to see it
only now.
