Less than 15 per cent of the 2-lakh students that will take up the Common Admission Test will be qualified to pursue their management education in premium institutions this year in the country.
In this scenario, how can good management education be available to a larger number of people? At a conference organised by the Xavier Institute of Management Education on `Management Education - An international comparison,' senior academicians and industry heads discussed issues and problems confronting the management education system in the country.
Mr Subir Raha, President, All India Management Association, and former Chairman-cum-Managing Director, ONGC, said, "Distance education is not something to be sneered at. Through this a single set of faculty could reach out to a larger batch of students."
Fragmented scenario
The lack of industry-academia collaboration and high quality research in management education has resulted in an output not suitable to industry. "Institutions are only focussing on teaching but not knowledge creation and practice," according to Dr Devi Singh, IIM, Lucknow.
Prof Damodar Acharya, Chairman, AICTE, commented on the Indian management education scenario being fragmented. "The quality difference between the first and the 100th ranked institution is very significant." While some graduates command salaries close to Rs 1 crore per annum, there are some who struggle to get even Rs 10,000 per month."
