A day of CPing at WIMWI

I vaguely remembered the slot 3 class of OM-1 when the other OM professor, in his first class, had taken a quick

Time for Food Reforms at IIMs?

For years together, Indian B-schools especially the IIMs, through their procedure, have ensured that the ‘fingers’ remained the same, thanks to their fascination for fresh engineering graduates (which is as deep-rooted as Angelina’s love for child adoption). But given recent changes in the admission and selection criteria
