Industry experts today said that students at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) lack the quality to cope with the market turbulence due to a lack of practical training.
"IIMs are not producing the kind of students required by the industry. The kind of people industry today requires are those who have the competence to work under ambiguity and have the agility to cope with different dynamic situations," said Rajeev Bhadauria, president, Human Resources, Reliance ADAG, speaking at 'Connexion' a PGPX (Post Graduate Programme for Executives) conclave organised at IIM-A."Dynamism should be the primary input today in all models of education that we propose to teach. So, our curriculum must make people dynamic," he added. He was one of the panelists on "Bridging the divide between academia and industry". Others said that students lack practical training and real management issues in industry.
Dr Biju Paul Abraham, Chairman, Post Graduate Programme for Executives at IIM-Calcutta said, "We at business schools are failing in terms of teaching the basics. We teach them in ways that we want to teach, and not the way they want to learn; so there is a problem of teaching basics at B-schools." He said the business schools need to concentrate on teaching the basics and also need to ensure that it is taught well.
Former IIM professor T V Rao, also the Chairman of the Ahmedabad-based TV Rao Learning System Private Ltd, however, said: "I think the gap should always be there, otherwise B-Schools shall become industry and industry shall become B-Schools."
