IIM A

In just four decades IIMA has evolved from being India’s premier management institute to a notable international school of management. It all started with Dr Vikram Sarabhai and a few other public spirited industrialists realizing that agriculture, education, health, transportation, population control, energy, and public administration were all vital elements in a growing society and that it was necessary to link these meaningfully with industry. The result was the creation of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad in 1961 as an autonomous body with the active collaboration of the Government of India, Government of Gujarat, and industry. It was evident that to have a vision was not enough. Effective governance and quality education were seen as critical aspects. From the very start the founders introduced the concept of faculty governance: all members of the faculty play an important role in administering the diverse academic and non-academic activities of the Institute. The empowerment of the faculty has been the propelling force behind the high quality of learning experience at IIMA. The Institute had initial collaboration with Harvard Business School. This collaboration greatly influenced the Institute’s approach to education. Gradually it emerged as a confluence of the best of Eastern and Western values.  More Details.. Courses Offered The Educational programs offered by the IIMA for the development of management are: 1.    Post Graduate Program in Management (PGP-Gen) Eligibility (PGP-Gen)  At least a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent qualification) in any discipline recognized by the Association of Indian Universities.

The admission process consists of the nationally administered Common Admission Test (CAT), and subsequent rounds of personal interviews and group discussions. The students are selected on the basis of their CAT scores, past academic performance and performance in the interviews and group discussion. Selected students have scholastic achievements in disciplines such as arts, commerce, science and professional streams such as engineering, technology and medicine. Many of them also have achievements in extra-curricular and organisational activities. Some of the qualities that characterise past students are high levels of initiative and energy, capacity for hard work, strong task orientation, willingness to learn, and a temperament suitable for teamwork. The PGP classes have had a mix of fresh graduates and persons with work experience. Fess and Expenses Annual expenses on tuition, library, computer, room, board, teaching material, and other fees (excluding personal expenses on travel, clothes and laundry) are about Rs. 1,76,000 at present for domestic candidates.The annual fee for Overseas Candidates is US$ 11,000. The fee includes tuition, course material, and board and lodging. All students are required to have a personal computer and a printer. The Institute can also arrange for buying these locally. The annual fee does not cover personal expenses such as travel, clothes, stationery, and laundry.   Financial Aid It is the endeavour of the IIMA that no student be denied opportunity to pursue the PGP for want of adequate financial resources.

ExamAnalysis

Students-Corner

I still remember the day when my class 12th result was declared. All of my friends were happy, except one – nitin (name is changed). He had a reason to be – he got almost half of the percentage that I got.Most of my friends joined good engineering colleges and left the city,so did nitin. He went to a near by suburb graduation college to continue his studies. He changed his stream to commerce from science.New locality, new college but he kept on doing things he used to do in class 12th and finally got the result for it. He got 48 % in graduation 6 less than what he got in class 12th.After completing my 3rd year engineering examination I went to my home town. When I meet nitin , only one thing came to my mind – what a nice guy, so brilliant but such a pathetic career record. I asked him – what is your future plan. His answer was quick and straight –“I have no option, have to go for MBA. I am going to give my besttry for CAT”. Few months after that I got call from him, no hello no hi , the first sentence was – Hey you must be glad to know that I got the final call from IIMK .His voice was in high spirits . I felt very happy for him. Now he is working in an IT company as a project manager. But time has changed so is the belief & philosophy of IIMs. Now they feel only students scoring more than 50% in graduation can be good managers. They had a long experience of making good managers, soif it is their view then it must be correct and we all need to respect it. I am really sorry for any IIM aspirant reading this article and had scored less than 50% in graduation. But if the IIMs have taken this decision only to restrict the number of applicants then it’s a poor decision. Yes, it’s true the number of applicants is increasing exponentially and it s a tough job to conduct an all India examination with more than two hundred, thousand appearing for it. But taking such a simple solution to the big problem is not going help the IIMaspirants. There are many other options and IIMs should look for a better one – a screening exam like IIT-JEE is not a bad option. Looking into the past records of IIMs, I think they have the courage to go away with decision of 50% eligibility criteria and come up witha new innovative and evenhanded idea so that all the IIM aspirants get a fair chance to show their talent.

IITK

IIT KANPUR       www.iitk.ac.in/ime  Since it broke ground in the little village of Kalyanpur in 1960, IIT Kanpur has come a long way. Today it is a vibrant seat of academic and professional excellence. It has been achieved, through the vision of its founders, the initial guidance from the consortium of nine US universities, the support of the Indian taxpayers, and by the toil of its true pride- students, staff and faculty. Its products are thc[eighteen thousand engineers, technologists, scientists, managers and entrepreneurs spread today across the globe, and over 1000 teachers at engineering colleges all over the country. IIT Kanpur’s contribution to Indian computing prowess alone is a living record worldwide. Similarly, its enterprise into management education is not new. It created its Industrial and Management Engineering (IME) program in 1974, to teach methods to plan, design, implement and manage integrated production and service delivery systems. These are skills of relevance to engineers and technologists of all disciplines who may subsequently pursue a career in industry or in academics. The MBA Programme - A collective endeavour of IIT Kanpur Since 1980, IIT Kanpur has run two very popular programs M.Tech and Ph.D in industrial management focused primarily on management science and management information systems. The Institute also teaches half a dozen management courses each year in the B Tech program. The IIT K MBA has been crafted to build on the technological strengths and the strong base in humanities existing in the Institute. The engine of our economy – the business world is now becoming increasingly demanding and dynamic and as we are learning every day, even IT needs to be "managed” to yield its best. Existing courses in database design, CIMS, rapid prototyping, VLSI design/fabrication, software engineering, economics, psychology and communications are some of the many electives to be made available to the IITK MBA. The Department of Industrial and Management Engineering (IME) that already teaches a set of courses to plan, design, implement and manage integrated production and service systems will administer the program. This Department graduates about 20 M.Tech and Ph D annually - specialized in the management of productivity, quality and profitability in the manufacturing sector, and in MIS. Also about 100 undergraduates attend the various management electives offered by IME faculty each year, enabling many IITK undergraduates to earn a “minor” in management  Courses Offered   The IIT Kanpur MBA program will comprise six distinct aspects. Twelve foundation courses are compulsory for all students and are completed in the first year. These include accounting, finance, computing, communication, operations management, marketing, economics, quantitative analysis, and human resource management- the basic skills and knowledge required of any business manager in the contemporary world. The student would spend the following summer to complete a management project in an intern manager’s role pre-arranged in a host industry by the Institute. The second year opens up the program to specialization and elective courses. Focus of s a specialization courses will be in the areas of manufacturing management and the management of infrastructure (telecommunications, transport systems and power systems). Students will have choice of six such specialization courses. A wider choice of electives is then offered to the student to permit him/her to broaden his/her area of familiarity. Four elective course slots are also available to allow each student to strengthen his/her background in diverse topics such as optimization, quality management, technology management, intelligent manufacturing systems, econometrics, international economic relations, robotics, traffic flow modeling, etc. A student will also have to write a project ( equivalent to two courses ) in an area of his/her interest. Concurrently, the student attends a series of departmental seminars and participates in discussions and written critiques- a compulsory part of the program.  Eligibility and Fees Course Fees Students of MBA program are required to pay tuition fee of Rs 17500/- per Semester. In addition he/she has to pay other fees and charges which include hostel room rent, electricity charges, Gymkhana fees etc which are likely to be approximately Rs 10000/-per semester. Mess charges are payable on actual. SC/ST students are exempted from paying tuition fee but are required to pay other fees. Foreign and Non resident Indians are required to pay tuition fee of US$ 5,000 per semester. Eligibility A Bachelor’s degree in any branch of engineering or technology from a recognized University/ Institute. Candidates with AMIE or similar qualification are not eligible for this programme. Candidates will be selected on the basis of nationally-administered JMET, a group discussion and a personal interview Candidates from outside India (foreign nationals and non-resident Indians) will be selected on the basis of GMAT score , academic credits and work experience. Concession for SC/ST Candidates In this program 15% seats are reserved for SC candidates and 7.5% seats for ST candidates. Such candidates must also satisfy the eligibility requirements for admission including JMET. However, while considering their cases only their suitability for the program is ensured and they are not compared with the candidates belonging to other categories.

IISC

IISC  www.iisc.ernet.in/  The Indian Institute of Science, founded in 1909, is an institution of higher learning to pursue excellence in postgraduate education and research in several fields of science and engineering, and is the oldest and finest centre of its kind in India. The size of the Institute kept deliberately small to focus on quality. It is the first institute to introduce master’s programmes in engineering, more recently the integrated Ph.D. programmes in Biological, Chemical, Physical and Mathematical Sciences for Science graduates. The Institute has pioneered many fields of activity like Aerospace, Communications, Electrical, Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Material science, and has acted as a reservoir from which the leadership and manpower for the future scientific developments and industries can be drawn. New initiatives have been taken up in several emerging areas of importance, such as space science and technology, environmental and atmospheric science, endocrinology, genetic engineering, developmental studies in rural technologies, and energy problems. The Centre for Scientific and Industrial Consultancy (CSIC) and Society for Innovation and Development (SID) provide the interface to the industries, which enable faculty to closely interact with industry. In all its endeavors, the Institute strives to contribute to the scientific, academic and technological goals of India, with a keen awareness of its noble tradition, and the need for maintaining a high quality in all its activities. Department of Management Studies The Department of Management Studies, established in 1948 as a section of Economics and Social Sciences, is one of the oldest management schools in the country. It represents the earliest attempt to systematically train manpower, create and spread the knowledge required for managing industrial enterprises in India. From a humble beginning I the immediate post-independence year, it has emerged into a Centre of Excellence, in the finest traditions of its parent institute, the Indian Institute of Science. The Department strives constantly to deliver quality management education in tune with the changing industrial scenario. The Department offers an MBA programme exclusively for engineering graduates. It has very strong research programmes leading to Ph.D. and M.Sc.(Engg.) degrees in management. There are about thirty research students (full time, teachers from engineering colleges under QIP, and external registrants who are practicing professionals from industry) working in functional areas like Finance, Human Resource Management, Operations Management and Marketing and in the areas of Economics, Energy, Transportation, Technology Management. The Department is actively involved in Industrial Consultancy, Sponsored Research and Management Development Activities  Programme Structure The MBA programme is a two-year full time postgraduate course. The major objective of the programme is to enable graduate engineers to grow into competent, responsible and creative managers for technology intensive global business. The technology intensive business organizations market high technology products and/or services at global level and integrate all their business functions (research & development, design, manufacturing, marketing, logistics, human resources, finance, legal and patent aspects, etc.) using information technology. Whether the concern is creation of new business opportunities, technology transfer, strategic alliances or technological innovations, organizations require leadership from those who have a sound understanding of the organizational and technological underpinnings as well as its strategic goals. The future managers need to understand forces shaping the global business environment, should be able to assess threats and opportunities offered by the fast changing technological scenario, should have a sense for "responsible progress" and should become architects of the future. The managers of technology intensive business organizations should be able to take advantage of sophisticated quantitative tools while retaining the intuitive and qualitative understanding of business processes. This demands a judicious mix of experiential and formal learning processes. The current programme is a novel attempt towards meeting these objectives. The structure of the programme covers a total of 64 credits comprising Hard Core Courses (30 credits), Soft Core Courses (9 credits), Elective Courses (15 credits) and Projects (10 credits). All the courses are organized on semester basis. Some of the courses which are laboratory oriented or activity oriented are organized as 2:1, that is, two lectures per week and one three hour laboratory (activity). The programme can be broadly divided into the following : Basic Competence: Quantitative Methods, Information Technology , Project Management and Personal Development. Business Environment: Macro Economics, Indian and International Business Environment, and Legal and Patenting Aspects Functional Areas: Marketing, Finance and Accounts, Production and Operations Management, Human Resource Management. Specialization: Electives and Project Work. Summer placement in industries that gives a first hand feel of operations in an industry. Project on Entrepreneurship: This is expected to give first hand experience to students in creating a new business. Project work will be preceded by two-week intensive inputs related to entrepreneurship from the experts. Management Project: This project is expected to give an experience in understanding and formulating management problem, and solve it. This exercise should lead to preparation of a research paper.  Eligibility and Programme Fees BE/B.Tech. in Engineering with at least Second Class and a valid JMET Score. Work experience is desirable, but candidates appearing for the final examination are also eligible to apply. The tuition fee per semester is Rs. 7,500. This fee does not include hostel expenses and other (medical, gymkhana etc.) charges. Mess charges are paid separately by the students as per actuals. In addition to the above fees, students will have to pay a one-time admission fee (refundable), and institute, library and hostel deposits. No Government of India Scholarship is available to the selected candidates.

50% in graduation! A poor decision against poor students

I still remember the day when my class 12th result was declared. All of my friends were happy, except one – nitin (name is changed). He had a reason to be – he got almost half of the percentage that I got.Most of my friends joined good engineering colleges and left the city,so did nitin. He went to a near by suburb graduation college to continue his studies. He changed his stream to commerce from science.New locality, new college but he kept on doing things he used to do in class 12th and finally got the result for it. He got 48 % in graduation 6 less than what he got in class 12th.After completing my 3rd year engineering examination I went to my home town. When I meet nitin , only one thing came to my mind – what a nice guy, so brilliant but such a pathetic career record. I asked him – what is your future plan. His answer was quick and straight –“I have no option, have to go for MBA. I am going to give my besttry for CAT”. Few months after that I got call from him, no hello no hi , the first sentence was – Hey you must be glad to know that I got the final call from IIMK .His voice was in high spirits . I felt very happy for him. Now he is working in an IT company as a project manager. But time has changed so is the belief & philosophy of IIMs. Now they feel only students scoring more than 50% in graduation can be good managers. They had a long experience of making good managers, soif it is their view then it must be correct and we all need to respect it. I am really sorry for any IIM aspirant reading this article and had scored less than 50% in graduation. But if the IIMs have taken this decision only to restrict the number of applicants then it’s a poor decision. Yes, it’s true the number of applicants is increasing exponentially and it s a tough job to conduct an all India examination with more than two hundred, thousand appearing for it. But taking such a simple solution to the big problem is not going help the IIMaspirants. There are many other options and IIMs should look for a better one – a screening exam like IIT-JEE is not a bad option. Looking into the past records of IIMs, I think they have the courage to go away with decision of 50% eligibility criteria and come up witha new innovative and evenhanded idea so that all the IIM aspirants get a fair chance to show their talent.
