There is no doubt that the batch composition of the IIMs needed more diversity. At InsideIIM.com, we support the idea of increasing the number of women and non-engineers in a batch to provide an experience that introduces all kinds of perspectives in the 2 year MBA programme equivalent at the IIMs - the PGP. However, not at the cost of merit.
Tough times reveal a lot. IIM Bangalore's report on the career opportunities provided to its graduates shows us why certain brands are worth their weight in gold. IIM B is one such brand. Across sectors and domains, graduates have been provided ample opportunities. One of them is an opportunity to work in the Office of Mukesh Ambani as an executive assistant, chairman of India's most celebrated enterprise (Reliance Industries Ltd.- Strategic Services Unit). HCL Technologies participated with a unique initiative - Entrepreneur@Residence, under which candidates selected will work directly under Mr Shiv Nadar, Founder & Chairman, HCL. Premier private equity firm, the Blackstone Group (London) and consulting firms Greenwich and Roland Berger, hired exclusively from IIM Bangalore offering international locations. Despite the global slowdown, 21 students will start their careers abroad from the Class of 2013 at IIM Bangalore. Almost every company ranked in the top 5 in our Recruiter Rankings has visited IIM Bangalore (Morgan Stanley being the only exception). Any student graduating from IIM Bangalore who feels hard done by can only be termed 'ungrateful'. In any case, we at InsideIIM believe that no business school is obligated to provide jobs to its graduates.
Update : 21st July 2013 : The contest is now over and the results are out!
We had predicted this on Jan 10th. Happy to confirm now. IIMs L and K will cross 150 women (>33%) with a fight to the finish for the top spot. IIMs Bangalore, Calcutta and Indore also score centuries(>25%). IIM Ahmedabad also expected to better its tally but will stop short of a century. These are not official figures since commencement of the new batch has not taken place. It is a developing story and we will get you more details soon. Keep watching this space.

Everyone is encouraged to apply. You could be a fresh campus graduate sitting with a bad offer due to poor placement policies on your campus or you could be someone with years of experience stuck in the wrong job where just turning up everyday to office has become an effort. You could be from the top IIMs or from an institution ranked 44th in India. We believe mavericks can be found anywhere.
