This article manages to find only one good thing about the entire visit to IIM K, the airport and the surroundings. This itself speaks volumes about the kind of analysis performed by the person in question. I have serious doubts about the "lack of quality in MDP, faculty" issues he has mentioned about the IIM in question, because after all, isn't this what makes an IIM special??? I will attempt to provide some information to the people reading this totally biased report abt this IIM. 1. Industry Interaction is bad - There is a community in IIM K, Industry Interaction Cell, whose sole job is to ensure that the interaction is apt with the targeted industries of the institute 2. Faculty is bad - How will the students learn without faculty? And the placements here are nice... draw the inference urself 3. No of permanent teachers is very less - Report the data about IIM A, B and C when only 10 years had passed since their beginning 4. Connectivity is bad - Yeah, if you want, Kozhikode is drivable distance from bangalore... Why can't people/companies just drive from that place (as flights are totally available in bangalore to any part in India) All in all, I can continue bashing up the data presented in this case over here. Location??? It is important, but the most important thing is that it's an IIM. Period.
