Of late I have been ruminating over a line that I came across, “Education is not a commodity”. When I analyse this statement in light of the business education that I am going through, I can’t help but disagree. Most people around me have come to college not only to gain knowledge or to get taught by a world-class faculty; rather they have come to a B-school in order to progress ahead in their careers- in order to go through a course that offers them a better job than what they were doing previously. And they pay through their noses for the same. XLRI is a case in point where the batch of 2014 paid a cumulative fee close to Rs. 14 lakhs; the batch of 2015 is paying Rs. 17.5 lakhs while for the batch of 2016, the figure gets close to Rs. 19 lakhs. This is a 36% increase in a span of about three years. The story looks pretty similar in the IIMs. The only college of repute that is immune from this super-normal inflation is FMS- for reasons that need no explanation.

The 68th Independence Day was celebrated at Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (IIMR) amidst colourful vibrancy and great patriotic fervor. A blood donation camp was organised and was followed by several cultural competitions at IIM Ranchi Khelgaon hostel to mark the occasion.
