B-schools syllabi must correspond to the challenges faced by Indian companies

The Management schools in India should improvise their syllabi to respond to the managerial challenges faced by the Indian companies,said Minister of State for Human Resource Development D. Purandeswari.

It is believed that B-schools in India teach theories and practices that are relevant in the developed economies of the West and may not be applicable in India. The syllabi of management institutions needs to respond to the managerial challenges faced by Indian Companies,' Purandeswari said while inaugurating the golden jubilee celebrations of Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM-C).The recent corporate scams have raised serious question on the usefulness of management education. Critics maintain that management education in leading business schools create profit seekers who have scant respect for social development.

Meanwhile, in tune with its vision of an 'International Centre of Excellence in Management education,' the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM-C) would introduce a two-year dual degree programme with the ecole Superieure de Commerce de Paris (ESCP) - a premier B-School in Europe from the coming academic session.It would be a first of its kind management programme where both the institutes would give degree to the students.
