BANGALORE: Calling for massive expansion in admissions made by older Indian Institutes of Management, the IIM Review Committee headed by R C Bhargava, former head of Maruti Suzuki India, has asked the IIMs in Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta to almost double their intake by 2011.
Stating that the expansion of MBA capacity and increasing quality publishing are “important and urgent issues”, the five-member committee has asked IIM A, B C to admit 500 students each by March 2011 for the PGP programme, 100 students each for the executive PGP and an annual intake of 20 students each for the fellow programme. This year, IIM-A admitted 318 candidates for the Post-Graduate Programme, while IIM-B and IIM-C admitted 271 and 304 students respectively.For the IIMs at Indore, Lucknow and Kozhikode, the review committee has set a target of 250 seats each for the PGP and 50 seats each for the executive MBA programme by the end of three years.IIMs in Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta have also been asked to have at least 10 papers published in top 25 journals every year.
In addition, they have also been asked to make it to the top 50 ranking in international business journals by 2011.“The Boards of IIM may consider these recommendations and make suitable plans for each IIM, adding such other targets as they consider necessary. IIMs do need to keep in mind the benefits of economies of scale,” the reports says.
For the proposed six IIMs, the committee has prescribed an intake of 100 each for the two-year programme and five each for the fellow programme. It has said the annual admission capacity of an IIM should be restricted to 750 a year.
