A brilliant IIT engineering graduate goes to B-School and takes up a job totally unrelated to his education. Society losses a brilliant engineer and nation suffers. I feel this is a western ploy to deprive India of engineering talent. The input to B-schools are graduates with high academic performance. They are inherently bright. They will do well in whichever area of work. Our industry is unnecessarily pampering these B-school wallas with unreasonably high salaries. This has led to mushrooming of unscrupulous management institutes all over the country. I think India Inc should do something to stop this madness.

Although I agree with your general sentiment, why is it so difficult for indians to accept our own follies? People goto bschools in india because 1. greed 2. herd mentality. 3. MBA is necessary for advancing in current jobs.

The biggest problem with the Indian System is its inability to give respect to an Engineering Talent, Groom him/her further in his areas of excellence. When he does not get the respect for what he had achieved, then he/she goes somewhere where he/she gets it? So why it is a mistake on part of the Individual? Is going after self respect a crime? The same Engineering guy when he goes to USA he doesn't switch to MBA. He sticks to his basics. You explain me that. It is failure of the system in decentralizing decision making. Few individuals control everything and poke their nose ina areas where they don't even have the fundamental knowledge. Frustration for a talented guy is sure to emerge. India today full of talented youth who are longing for recognition.

Sorry boss engn. etc don't go abroad for respect recognition etc etc but but only for money, stop fooling, in fact even though 80% of Indian's r treated like 3rd class citizen outside they still stick around only for money. Problem is mentality of people like u
It is hilarious how we have a deluge of rankings based on superfluous parameters during admission season.
Shuffle and jig top institutes based on anachronisms and then pitch in lower ranking ones up based on considerations.
IIM Indore and Kozhikode have a library which are one of the biggest across IIMs and are bigger than entire surface area of some of the institutes mentioned here.
PhD is fine but where from the PhD was done isnt given, work ex is fine but where has the person worked is not given.
only 10 yrs since its inception the institute has entered into the top 15 of global best b-schools. This speaks of every parameters of ISB. No other b-school in India can match it for the time being. Its success story should be a case study as well as inspiration for other b-schools.

SIBM, Pune as seen from their cut-offs this year should also come in the league of high cut-off institutions. But they are supposed to be one of the finest. But not a single research paper or what about their student-teacher ratio?
