New Delhi: Unlike IITs, the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are not in favour to mentor proposed IIMs to be established in Tamil Nadu, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and Haryana.
Now, the Government has started mulling to start all these institutions as independent bodies on the lines of IIM-Shillong, came into existence last year.
"IIMs have not shown their interest to mentor upcoming IIMs. All these proposed IIMs will be started as independent bodies on the lines of IIM-Shillong, came into existence in 2008," said Mr. R. P. Agrawal, Secretary Higher Education, Ministry of HRD.
A three member committee, earlier appointed by the Government of India, comprising Director of IIM Ahmedabad Prof. Sameer Barua, IIM Kolkata Director Prof. Sekhar Chaudhury and IIT Kanpur Director Prof. S. G. Dhande, also did not support the idea to mentor the new IIMs.

New Delhi: As the Common Admission Test (CAT) results, out on Friday, show, the seven prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) this year have given weightage to the candidate's performance in school in addition to the scores in the examination.
"The general performance has been on expected lines. People who got scores above 130 points have mostly gotten calls. Obviously weightage has been given to academic record also," Shiv Kumar, director of research, development and academics at Career Launcher, told sources.
CAT 2008 Results
"People who performed well in their Class 10 and 12 board exams evidently got extra points while the calls were being sent from most institutes," he said.
While in IIM-Ahmedabad, 25 percent weightage was to CAT scores, 33 percent was to academic performance; in Bangalore, the institute attributed 25 percent to CAT, 40 to academics and 10 to work experience.
In IIM-Lucknow, 30 percent weightage was to CAT scores, 15 percent to academics and 10 to work experience, and in Calcutta, the weightage was given purely to CAT scores in the main management course (PGDM), but 25 percent weightage was to academics and work experience for the computer aided management course (PGDCM).
IIM-Kozhikode was an exception, with 50 percent weightage to CAT scores and five percent to work experience.
"While the calling process is transparent in the website of these institutes, the selection process in Indore and Shillong institutes is not clear," Kumar added.
The CAT is an annual test conducted by the IIMs and is the first step in the process of seeking admission to the 1,800-odd seats in the institutes at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Indore, Kozhikode, Lucknow and Shillong. Besides this year, six new IIMs are due to start.
Around 270,000 aspirants across the nation appeared for the test on November 16.
The IIMs have implemented a quota for candidates from the Other Backward Castes (OBCs) from this year and have increased their seats.
CAT is considered one of the most important national standards for entrance to management institutes. Apart from the IIMs, over 50 other management institutes use the CAT score for short-listing candidates before filtering their admission with group discussions and personal interviews.
All institutes, barring Ahmedabad and Calcutta, had also made clear how much weightage would be laid on the further selection rounds of group discussions and personal interviews, according to Kumar.
"For students who have received calls from the institutes, the key points for keeping them in the clear would be confidence levels, ability to communicate clearly, knowledge level in subjects and working environment. Aspirants must work with their strengths," he advised. IANS

New Delhi: Inflation seems to have hit even the Common Admission Test (CAT) which is conducted by the elite Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
The IIMs have increased the cost of application forms by Rs.200 for general category & OBC students and by Rs.100 for SC/ST candidates for CAT 2008.
Common Admission Test Notification 2008
Last year the form was priced at Rs.1,100 for general category candidates and Rs.550 for reserved category candidates.
The cost was increased in 2004 and 2005 to Rs.1,100 and Rs.1,200 respectively for general category and Rs.600 for SC/ST candidates.
The Common Admission Test (CAT) brings in large revenues for the IIMs.
A report by the V.K. Shunglu Commission had said that IIM-Ahmedabad netted Rs.168.96 lakhs in the 2002-03 CAT against Rs.4.25 lakhs in 1991-92.
At IIM Bangalore, the collection was Rs.247.07 lakhs, while the expenditure was Rs.51.4 lakhs.
1.72 lakhs students appeared for CAT 2006 and the number increased to 2.07 lakhs last year.
The IIMs have also confirmed that the Common Admission Test (CAT) will not be conducted online this year, as was thought earlier.
Subrata Mitra, admission chairperson at IIM Calcutta said, "Though we are in talks with several agencies for conducting the test online, it will be a pencil-paper test this year."

In case the university/institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by the IIMs by dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the resultant with 100.

The Top 20 management institutes in the country have been divided into two broad categories viz. Top 10 and A+.Please note that a numerical ranking often does not have a sound scientific basis. The parameters and, more importantly, the weightages given to these tend to be extremely subjective. The resultant rankings too, are thus
subject to many fierce debates. In this case, we have used our extensive student database and experience in the field to categorize the top institutes.
Broadly, these categories are meant to aid the students in applying to institutes. Within a category, the institutes are of approximately the same quality. Of course, the categorization is only indicative and students should make independent inquiries before taking a final decision about which institutes to apply to.
The TOP 10 institutes in the country are the so-called 'Ivy-League' institutes that every student dreams of getting an admission into. Many of these institutes are comparable with the best
institutes in the world. Indeed, some of them regularly feature in the lists released by international business magazines. These institutes invariably have a 100% placement record. Even the not-so-good students at these institutes manage to get very good jobs on account of the rub-off effect of the institute.
The Top 4 sectoral institutes (also known as specialisation institutes) have been placed in a separate category. These are institutes that do not offer a general MBA like the other institutes. Rather, they offer a specialisation in a particular functional area. All these institutes would rank among the Top 25 institutes in India and some of them could even lay claim to a Top 10 position.
Placements at these institutes are normally very good even though they are restricted to the functional area that the institute specialises in. XLRI's PM&IR programme would also fall in this category.
The "A+" category of institutes are those that fall into the Top 20 category. They offer a high quality of education in terms of faculty quality and infrastructure facilities. These institutes usually have a 100% placement record. Only the poor performers at these institutes may have some difficulties regarding placements. Some of the top students at these institutes should be able to secure placements that are comparable to those offered at the Top 10 institutes. Most students should be more than happy to join these institutes if they are able to secure admission.

Management Education in India - which started a little less than half a century ago - has made rapid strides over the past decade. Today, an MBA or an equivalent degree is looked at by many as a passport to a good career - a career which is highly challenging and extremely rewarding.
The process of liberalisation which started in India in 1991 led to a major spurt in the demand for management graduates. Organisations from a variety of industries - ranging from proprietorship firms to large MNCs including a number of MNCs - started recruiting management graduates from Indian management institutes by offering them fat pay packets. Click here to know more about the remuneration levels that management graduates are offered.
This increase for management graduates, in turn, gave a major fillip to the demand for management education in the country which resulted in mushrooming of institutes/university departments offering management education. It is estimated that that there are around 1000 institutes at present offering post-graduate courses in management in India. The quality of these institutes ranges from world class at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to abysmal at some of the badly run management institutes. Unfortunately, not all institutes offer management education, which is of excellent quality. Only some of these management institutes can be regarded as being worth joining by students.
To get into a management institute, one has to go through a selection process which includes written test, Group Discussion/Interview, etc. Click here to know more about the Admission Process adopted by management institutes in India.
There are a large number of management entrance exams in the country. Some of these exams are used by multiple institutes as a part of their respective admission processes. The prominent among such exams are
CAT - Entrance test for 6 IIMs and more than 80+ management schools
XAT - XLRI and other 50 + institutes consider this test for admission
ATMA - Accepted by more than 100 management schools
MAT - Accepted by more than 100 management schools
JMET - IITs
There are a few management institutes conducting their own entrance exams. Some of the reputed among them are FMS, IIFT, IRMA, Symbiosis, NMIMS, etc.
In addition, there are Common Entance Tests (CETs) conducted by some states for the MBA courses offered by all the universities in their respective states.

IIM-A was established in 1961 as an autonomous Institution by the Government of India in collaboration with the Government of Gujarat and the Indian Industry. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, a noted scientist and industrialist, other Ahmedabad-based industrialists (led by Mr. Kasturbhai Lalbhai), and the Government of Gujarat (led by Dr. Jivaraj Mehta) played a major role in the creation of the Institute. IIM-A was registered as a society with a Board of Governors to oversee the functioning of the Institute. The Board has representatives from the Governments of India and Gujarat, the Industry, the IIM-A Society, the IIM-A faculty, etc.IIM-A was conceived not to be purely a business school, but a school of management. It's mission is to professionalise Indian management through teaching, research, training, institution building and consulting. It also aims to professionalise some of the vital sectors of India's economy such as agriculture, education, health, transportation, population control, energy, and public administration.In its formative years, IIM-A collaborated with the Harvard Business School (HBS). Largely as a consequence of this collaboration, IIM-A pioneered the case method of teaching in India.

The IIM Calcutta campus or Jokaland, as we call it, is almost like an island amid lakes.
The IIM Calcutta campus, courtesy Google Earth.
As it's evident from the Google Earth image, there are three major man-made lakes surrounding the academic block, the campus KV and library. Our hostels are along the lakes on the outside. The setting gets more clear in the Wikimapia image, as it has proper labelling too.
Compare it to the IIT Bombay campus and you'll find many similarities. Both the campus have the serene presence of beautiful water bodies and dense greenery. Right now the similarities get thicker, since the Calcutta weather nowadays is quite like Mumbai monsoons; it stays cloudy with frequent short showers. Due to the lakes, it stays humid at the campus and if it's not windy, it can get really stifling. The IIMC campus is much smaller than IITB campus, and obviously since IITB is meant for much bigger number of junta. It used to house 4 BTech batches, each of roughly 500 plus huge number of MTechs and few PhDs too. Here at IIMC there are just two batches at a given point of time. My batch's strength is around 310 and that's the largest number they've ever had.
One thing paining me is the distance from the downtown Kolkata. Last night I enquired about ordering pizza and I got to know that the minimum order they take is something as obscene as 6k!! That's because the nearest outlet is at Camac Street or like that :-). But, the food in the mess & (almost) 24 hrs canteen in the hostel is much better than IITB. But eating out is still an issue. Nearest Metro station is some 100 bucks away from IIMC and there aren't many options to reach there. I guess things would get brighter once my bike reaches Kolkata.
Today I took some pictures at the campus. I've uploaded them at the Flickr page. Most of them need little bit of postprocessing, which I plan to do soon.

Indian Institute of Management Indore - the youngest sibling in the family of IIMs - has travelled quite a distance, since its inception ten years ago. Rubbing shoulders with some well established giants, IIM Indore has now carved a niche for itself in the corporate world and the eight batches that have passed out stand testimony to the fact.
The essence of management, IIMI believes, lies in managing one's own ambitions and forging ahead consciously. (Quite a radical definition, this one!)
"A strong theoretical foundation is the basis of good corporate practice" – this, coupled with a grounding in management as it is practiced, is the underlying theme of the Post Graduate Programme (PGP). Spanning two years the programme is benchmarked against similar programmes of the best business schools in the world. Experiential learning, IT orientation, and Social SensitivitybSocial Sensitivity are some of the unique features of the programme. To back this up IIM Indore has a solid infrastructure ranging from a 193 acre campus to a strong IT backbone to the latest in teaching aids.
IIM Indore’s achievement in such a short span of time can be attributed to its innovative spirit and its will to excel.and, to a great extent, to the relationship it has developed with the Indore community.
