Very soon there will be a IIM Indore 'X' City campus in almost every city in the world. 20-30 years from now there will be broad two category of IIM's, IIM Indore or any other IIM.

And why is that a bad thing? Shouldn't it be the aim of all IIM s to impart quality education to as many students as possible?

Well thats the point. With quantity and the same no of faculty(Very few among which are good) I doubt how the quality continues to be the same. This comes from personal experience.

There will always be two sides to any argument.. the important thing is, is it a good thing or a bad... if IIM Indore decides to spread it's wings and give opportunities to Indian students to find opportunities abroad, then why is it a bad thing? There are institutes like HULT, INSEAD etc which have set up campuses in UAE..I dont have much personal experiences to talk about quality but yes, this is a very bold move by IIM Indore.

IIM I happens to break all the barriers, indeed....First we had the incident of students being expelled for taking drugs, then we had the hostel mess food poisoning incident, then not to mention the usual placement saga at IIM I and to top it all the current sexual harassment case.....Looks like IIM I has developed the knack of staying in the news for all the wrong reasons. And yes, quitting MDI to join here in some unknown MBA programme without knowing the future prospects, that too being a non ABCL initiative, sounds rather lame......We all know that SP Jain or IMT Dubai programme has not really worked that well. So what makes IIM I with all its history any different?

What Placement saga are you talking about? BCG,Deutsche Bank, TAS, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte S&O, Flipkart, Amazon, HSBC, Edelweiss - the list goes on. Wait for the report before shooting your mouth. You can't blame the institute if some people don't deserve to be placed. Same applies to IIM L as well where the situation isn't as rosy as last year. IIM I placed 435+ successfully last year. And this year too people will get placed. Call up your folks at IIM K and check how they are doing! And so if an incident of food posioning happened a year back, how does that relate to the IIM I UAE programme? And are you telling me that people in your campus don't smoke up? Either you're a boring geek or you are not from IIM ABCL. Sexual harrasment case was reported exactly 2 months back at IIM Bangalore. So is IIM B a bad institute now? No one can help you if you are commenting here with an agenda to malign an institution.

But to say the truth what you have commented happens at all the IIMs - Weed is common in IIMs, but unfortunately because of some political reasons it has come out this time. Sexual harassment is an existing one at most of the colleges even at Harvard, but they never come out. Food poisoning even though a rare happening at IIMs, we can't say some unfortunate thing cant happen while making food for 900+ students. And the last and main thing- the placements. An IIM is not obliged to provide placements to its students. Its only duty is to train the students to be a qualified one. I am not comparing IIM with HBS, HBS has no on-campus placement process. If all the IIMs adopt the same thing as HBS, IIM I will be definitely par with top colleges of India. I can understand your argument though and not finding any mistake in it, because it is the current situation where a college is decided by its placements (It shouldn't be like this) has made you think like this. ~~~ A good B-School will only help in his first job. The next one he gets only because of his skill~~~

Naming 10-20 top shot brands doesnt help the cause.... I am not talking of the top 200 placements...i am talking of the bottom 100-150 placements, the sub 8 lac packages, the crushed dreams.....being forced to work at star ups because not enough opportunities to get into big brands......

Yeah true....I would like IIMI to completely do away with this placement process. Much better than the actual 20% placements (of decent quality) that happen there. Atleast people will come to IIMI with their expectations straight. Now 90% people get placed at IIMI, after 2 years the batch strength will be 900 and 50% will get placed. Another year down the line when IIMI IPM, Mumbai, Dubai, London, Newyork, Hongkong, Singapore and what not campuses come, we will have maybe 10-15% placements.
