I agree with the observations of Dr. Ramesh.
I have been involved for PG teaching (ME/M Tech)in Maharashtra and Gujarat since
two decades. My experience shows that it is enjoyable to work with PG students
having 2-3 years industry experience. The interaction is very fruitful to
faculty, candidate and industry/institute.

For more than 5 decades now, US & European Universities do not admit students
without a min of 2 yrs work experience. US Universities offer world class
education in various streams. How is it possible? Why so ? An MBA/ PGDM program
has to be pursued by an experienced candidate, so that they relate theory to
practice. 3 decades ago, my own classmate in MBA was a Btech in Elec Engg &
worked for 1 yr in an Asbestos company . Sitting next to me, the way he was
grasping & reflecting subjects like Ind relations, Marketing, Fin Mgt,
Production Mgt, Business Statistics, was enlightening to us - Huge learning. In
fact, that is Real Management education.
Offering an MBA/ PGDM course to a graduate will be like making a Ranji trophy
player into a Test captain in Cricket.
Yes, some manage,,,,,,,,, - who are those some, around 15 to 20%. They are smart
enough, will anyhow learn & update. How about rest , around 80% - is the
question. These students are settling down as clerks in Banks, PSU"s,
Universities, Post offices, State govt contract, police constables, cut & paste
operators, BPO executives, Call center operators, etc ,etc. Is this what an MBS/
PGDM should be doing ?????????
MANAGEMENT EDUCATION IS STRUGGLING TO RELATE TO INDUSTRY IN INDIA FOR THIS
REASON.
Well, This is what happens when the course, content & curriculum is not in line
with what is needed by the industry.
Solution : 1. Infuse Quality & Standards into various facets of Management
education 2. Around 30 to 40% of every batch of students getting admitted must
have some work exp 3. Conduct more & more FDP"s , once in 2 months 4. Junior
faculty have to be curious, serious, ask questions & update themselves from
industry experts & professionals. Students are shying away from their classes ,
a major concern for all of us today. Also vice versa for the professionals to
comprehend academics.
4. Solicit , Invite & Engage industry professionals & experts to get associated
with Management institutions in several aspects at a deeper level - from
institution branding to quality of intake to choice of courses to curriculum
content to student development to lively FDP"s to skill training to internships/
projects to suitable placements. Or, else things will deteriorate further.
FUTURE IS ALL ABOUT QUALITY, NO MORE QUANTITY.

Emerging Job Opportunities in different sectors come with a package of abilities
required to discharge the particular job in an altogether new market.
Our Management Theories are more Class Room oriented. Most of our pedagogy is
also borrowed from Foreign Experts whose theories could well
be a success in their economy but when application of the same according to our
markets in required, often the desired results don't come. Thus thereis a gap
between theory and practical application. Most B-Schools teach theories and the
only time the application comes is during the 8 weeks of internship
which is very less and also there isn't sufficient time to analyze their
results. Internship sadly has also been utilized by corporate to get Free
manpowerduring the Summer Holidays when their executives and workstaff go on
holidays....so Fill in the Gaps is the practice in corporate which suits them
fine as the
cost of these B-School students doing internship with them is not much and I'm
sure these B-Schools pass this role as CSR to claim brownie points. I'm
notsaying that all corporate fall in these catagory but majority of
them.....there are however some good corporate who believe in giving training to
facilitate the
learned theories application part but sadly they are few.
Recently one of our known circle of friends informed me that their daughter is
into skilling.... they take a batch of students align them with job requirement
available in Canada....put them through the grind...also help them prepare for
migration and other Visa related issues and ensure that their counterpartsget
good skilled manpower to suit their needs. So to understand what corporate wants
is also a necessity so that the B-Schools incorporate the same in
their texts and turn them into manpower who suit their needs.

60 % theory minimum.
Management draws professionals from all fields ... there are certain basics that
need to be learned.
Students just don't want to learn to integrate subjects.
They presume management to be a group of individual subjects which are
unrelated.
If they find subject matter repeating in other subjects than the core one. They
fail to comprehend the significance of the subject from that perspective...
Eg 1) I have taught marketing..and push and pull theory
2) I have taught supply chain management and in it.push and pull theory
In 1 it is with the relation to marketing and sales strategy
In 2 it is with supply chain management and making it cost effective
The teachers are also at fault. There lack of preparation results in sloppy
delivery of subject.
Infact I am sorry to say..I have seen teachers say..that please see this from
notes of XYZ subjects...it is similar . Whenever topics reappear in the course.
Students too seek the easier way...OH we already have notes why study this. Or
attend this class.
I have made it point ..when students say we will study this or have studied that
already..I ask them to come prepared and hold a quiz from the subjects's
perspective...
It is sufficient to make them realize that their understanding of a repeating
topic in a new subject is very poor. So they sit quite and relearn again.

If orientation of management is practice, what should be the percentage of
theory in two years curriculum?
Is present practice & pedagogy focused on developing ready made employee for
migration to corporate?
