IIM-A can take 150 more: Prof
Ahmedabad: Is the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) making a mountain out of a molehill over the OBC reservation issue? One of the institute’s professors has dug holes into the loud noises made by top bosses that expansion is not possible without more land and faculty. Senior faculty member Ramesh Gupta has said in a published working paper that IIM-A can accommodate 150 additional students and continue being the academic leader even with existing faculty and infrastructure.
This goes contrary to what IIM-A has been shouting hoarse about that it will have to stagger the quota increase over four years and need an additional 40 acres land. Complete expansion will raise the intake by 151 students.
Gupta’s paper, ‘IIMs Expansion Myths, Realities and Policy Choices’, was published last month in the Economic and Political Weekly . It says IIM-A can increase its Post-Graduate Programme (PGP) intake substantially if it uses its infrastructure optimally, introduces better faculty time management and defines its priorities more sharply. Gupta notes that IIM-A can accommodate an additional 150 students even with existing infrastructure by tweaking the Fellow Programme in Management. Currently, he notes, 22 visiting faculty teach 10 to 15 FPM students in the second year, when only six to eight students graduate every year. Restructuring FPM staff would release 15 faculty for expansion of the flagship PGP.
