THE MBA SCHOOL INSIDER
By Sangeeth Sebastian and Natasha Pathak
THE THIRD Mail Today B- School Survey make one thing abundantly clear. Delhi may not have an IIM, but it really doesn’t need one.
The Capital’s B- Schools do more than a good job preparing their students to the demands of corporate world, equipping them with just the kind of skills their potential employers will look for in every newbie in the work force.
Delhi- NCR has 138 BSchools, but our survey agency, Indus Learning, pared the number down to 50 after a survey- based perception study that mapped where the institutes fared in the worldview of 400 potential recruiters, parents, alumni and students.
These 50 institutes then were contacted for fact files that provided data on everything of interest to potential students or recruiters — from faculty research details to placements records. The data from the fact files and the perception study were then cross- weighted to establish the final institutewise rankings.
The data that emerge from the survey establish beyond doubt that the Capital’s BSchools are not fly- by- night operators or money- making machines. They have teachers with the right mix of industry and academia experience, tieups with international universities and well- stocked libraries; they have visiting faculty from their global partners; they keep upgrading their curriculum according to industry requirements; they have specialised programmes serving the needs of sectors such as telecoms and power; and their placement partners include the best brands in the corporate world.
They fill up the demand- supply gap, because the steady growth of the economy has created an insatiable demand for new managers. So in step the institutes that have been assessed in this survey.
Their drive for quality starts with their insistence that their professors must constantly be engaged in research. The IIPM, in fact, has an active publishing programme for its professors. As Prasoon Majumdar, IIPM’s Academic Dean, puts it, "We believe no research is worth the effort if lies in a thesis format in some library. "Constant industry interface is another key marker of a quality B- School. "Continuous mentoring by industry professionals has helped our students to chart out their career plans more realistically," says V. K. Gupta, Director, MDI- Gurgaon.
Likewise, IMT- Ghaziabad’s internship programme is structured in a way that, according to its Director, Bibek Banerjee, "every student is mentored and guided by a practising manager, a faculty member and an institute alumnus." What Sudhir Jain says about IIT- Delhi’s MBA programme is equally applicable to the rest of the institutes. "Our MBA programme,” he says", is designed keeping in mind the changes in the business environment and the needs of the industry." Delhi- NCR’s B- Schools won’t disappoint you at least on this count.
