Being someone who, even after 3 years of struggle was not able to make it to an IIM and had to opt for a so called second-rung B school, it pains me to read such biased opinion against an institute which millions strive every year to be a part of (as an integral part of the IIM family). Fault finding is such an easy job. If we take the example of Stanford university, we can blast the accomplishments of any IIM, even IIM-A, in areas of diversity, industry interaction, foreign students, international exposure and the likes. And all this makes so easy to hide the achievements of these institutes. But this is not what is expected from a writer in a newspaper like mint. Sure, the writer can argue that the millions of brightest Indian minds who are ready to do anything to get into an IIM, including IIMK, may be foolish. But I speak from personal experience. My family has had a string of IIM passouts. And I feel ashamed when I compare the faculty, facilities and overall learning I am getting compared to what they have got. IIMs are amongst the few good things India has got. The writer should refrain from tarnishing their achievements and credibility through his biased opinion.
