DR Bala V. Balachandran of the Kellog School of Management, Dr Rohan Abeyratne, Mechanical Engineering Head at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an econometrician from the London School of Economics, Dr Oliver Linton, are among a few academics who have agreed to help the S.R.M. Institute of Science & Technology in its aim to match the best universities in the world.
The S.R.M Vice-Chancellor, Dr P. Sathyanarayanan, said the institution had decided to set up an international advisory board with overseas academics in order to get better. The advisory board was set up "out of our own volition," added Dr Satyanarayanan.
The board has 10 members from academia and industry. As the board members are based in different parts of the world, the initial board meetings are unlikely to be held with everyone present.
S.R.M officials introduced some of the board members to the media at a conference on January 10. On the occasion, Dr Balachandran — he would offer suggestions on the business management programme — said, "We have already changed the curriculum."
