Sr. SEO Executive
The 13 Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) will share admission information among them from this year. The move aims to ensure that no seat in the new IIMs remains vacant as well as ease the pressure on students.

The premier B-schools will also post their individual admission criteria in their websites . These decisions were taken in a meeting of directors of the 13 IIMs with Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Wednesday at New Delhi.

The IIMs also agreed to explore the possibilities of offering academic programmes in areas like health, education and infrastructure.

In order to build diversity on campus and attract international students without affecting the national intake, it was decided that IIMs could jointly organize an international road-show pooling their resources for the purpose of attracting talent.

Reviewing the process of investing greater autonomy on IIMs, the meeting also noted that the revised Memoranda of Association and Rules of IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Indore are at the final stage. The meeting also decided that there should be an external review of each IIM which could be discussed in the IIM-Council every three years.
