Re: [MTC Global] Management education has failed in India: Nirmalya Kumar

Dear Professor,

Happy Diwali!

Thank you for sharing your presentation. I had swiftly gone all through 27 slides.

Presentation is worth revisitinga number of times. Well written, short but compact, unfolding the issues of management education in India.

I strongly believe it is all with faculty (the main actor/actress in the drama of B-school theatre) to make or mar the education system. .So and so how the stakeholders mainly students, and parents look at the MBA degree, i.e., the objective in mind. We always think education is an easy ladder to move to hefty package, and MBA is the best!


Unfortunately, Management education in India, at all levels from Govt.-university-institute-faculty-management-students lack vision and direction. The entire system  is trapped by short-cut attitudes of students, parents, faculty and managment.

I will revert back after going minutely through the presentation.

My thanks once more.

This is not unexpected while we have been following the foot-steps of traditional teaching methodology in  more and more diluted form with the passage time, especially in engineering and management.

However, this trend is not seen in the medical programs simply because no one can run medical programs keeping aside the hospital and patients.

But engineering and management prgs distance more and more far away from industry and market.

One cannot earn  MBBS without going to hospitals, visiting the patients and intern-ship of sizeable duration in hospitals. Is it so for engineering and management? One can get UG/PG and even PhD in engineering/management without  visiting industry or market.

Subject: [MTC Global] Management education has failed in India: Nirmalya Kumar

The traditional model of management education that has been practised in the country for decades has failed to serve its purpose, says Nirmalya Kumar, 56, member of the group executive council at Tata Sons, the holding company of the $108-billion, salt-to-software conglomerate.

This is evident from the massive outflow of management students seeking admission in foreign universities each year and the low level of internationally published research papers emanating from Indian business schools, adds Kumar, who is regarded as one of the world's leading management thinkers.

But green shoots of change are visible in the way management education is imparted in the country, with the arrival of some new-age business schools that appreciate the need of global managers for global businesses. In an interview, Kumar tells Forbes India that top management institutes here need to change their enrolment strategy and even hire teachers who have trained at top global institutions by offering them competitive salaries.
Edited excerpts:

In a sense, management education has failed in the country. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be leaving the country to study abroad. We don't see too many Americans, Germans or Japanese students leaving their home countries to pursue higher studies.

Then comes the aspect of building world-class institutions. None of the Indian universities features among the top 200 in the World University Rankings (brought out by Times Higher Education). If you look at research, the entire universe of Indian faculty across management schools has together published less papers in leading international journals than I have over the course of my career. And I wasn't even the most productive in the world.

So business schools in India, especially the IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management), are stuck in the pre-1991 mentality, which is very much about controlling the supply of students that enter these schools and graduate each year, since there is no dearth of demand.

In that sense, these institutes function more like selection agencies who, through the entrance process, do a pre-selection of brilliant students for potential recruiters to choose from. The intellectual processing that they do with these students over the course of the academic tenure becomes irrelevant.

This model doesn't serve the country since those who can afford it prefer to study abroad and the intelligent ones get a scholarship. A majority of the remaining students are served by low-quality management schools that have sprung up across the country. They get a degree in business education from these colleges, but it has no value.
