Are B-schools Becoming Nothing But Glorified Placement Agencies?

Sunil Kumar, a 25-year old engineer from Pune, is disappointed after a dismal show in CAT 2015, the entrance exam to the top tier business schools in India. He is one of the 200,000 plus aspirants vying for a seat in the top b-schools in this nation of 1.25 billion. When asked why he is inclined to do an MBA, he replies, somewhat irritated- “How else am I going to get a better job, I am stuck in the same profile for 3 years.” This is one of the myriad examples among the Indian youth, to whom a management degree has become an elixir guaranteed to ensure a rewarding career. And somewhere in the maze of these aspirations, the essence of studying management for the love of learning something new is on the way to becoming extinct.

Why Creating An Enabling Ecosystem Is The Key To Smart Cities

A new dimension is emerging in India's Smart City Program- the Political Dimension; where the focus is shifting from implementation to who gets credit for the program. With the Center keen to ensure that it gets credit for this flagship program, there is a certain degree of wariness for non-BJP rules states that are moving ahead with the program rapidly. In particular, opposition party-ruled states like Odisha and UP are moving swiftly on the BJP Government's program.

Let's start the bonding - IIM Kashipur

We are rational people. We think and analyse every situation before taking an action. Sometimes we tend to overthink, sometimes we reach a wrong decision but there are enough times when we rejoice. But one thing that remains constant and that is the analysis. We look forward to people to support us and guide us through. We choose our mentors at every stage. My journey to get into IIM was no different. The student teams of all institutes were so helpful and very quick to revert and resolve the doubts I had and it was fortunate to meet the seniors at IIM Kashipur and work with them over the last year and replacing them to guide the aspirants and hopefully working with them over the next year.
