Mr Ram KUmar.. Please dont generalize your views. There is some kind of arrogance in your views. There are IIMs, XLRIs, ISBs etc which are doing a great job.

One would think that IIMs, XLRIs, ISBs are doing great job. Fact is they are at least 10 years behind than what it takes to fill in the positions they aspire their students to occupy. I have several IIMs, XLRIs, ISBs reporting into me. I am only a 3rd division graduate with lot of common sense and street smartness (not trying to blow my own trumphet; just stating fact). My assessment of the reason for students from these B-schools not cutting it is to do with their teachers who have no clue of how business operates on a day-to-day basis. Hence they produce students who come absolutely clue less of how to apply their knowledge in practical situations. While knowledge is absolutely important, it is of no value without application. Only when it is made mandatory for every teacher / professor / lecturer to undergo an evaluation program every year to assess their awareness of tactical needs of running day to day business, will the B-schools produce what its customers - society and corporates need.
why blame clerks from Business schools Our engineering colleges produce technial clerks for processing contractor bills Out most of medical colleges produce large numebers of para medica and prescription writers as directed by pharma companies or issue medical sick certificts fro bunking offices ot admitting criminals to 5 star hospitals
Al most every big company in india has so called JD which no one follows.It is just to get listed in Best place to work. In most of the Indian companies HR has no important role to play, so HR Recruits as Management Trainee, Business Manager treats & load these guya with clerical work, whose fault...Pl see Mr RamKumar,Can you say you follow everything... if you feel so don't go for campus... but blaming them is easy rather than taking control in your hands. Have a nice day

It all depends upon the culture of the organization, how you utilise and mould these freshers. Owners/Promoters may not be MBAs but CXOs who runs these companies are all educated from Top B schools.

Yes Raj you are right,i didn't said any uneducated can become Steve.What i said was about his "passion",so any uneducated having his passion can become steve irrespective of any MBA DEGREE.
I have immense respect for IIMs and a few other schools but have to say that by and large the Indian MBA degree misses out on some vital points.
1. An MBA degree should be a potent mix of soft skills, EQ, application and theory. Sadly enough most Indian MBA courses focus only on the theory part 2. Most candidates in India use the MBA degree to get a job. Maximum value is derived from an MBA degree only when the person has seen the real world outside the classroom. Landing into an MBA fresh out of UG degree means just 2 more years of study, it also affects the ROI 3. Entrepreneurial spirit has not really caught up in the MBA scene in India barring a few exceptions. 4. Quality of the MBA program is a big miss except for a few
If you look at Kapil Sibbals model of High School studies, where everyone is to be passed, what a fun, parents are not allowed even to know how their ward is performing, since it depresses weak students. In Govt. schools and even in some private schools, teachers have stopped taking deep interest in shining candidates-for them now no charm. Similarly M.Com or M.A. is upgraded to MBA in C or B type management schools, purpose is to pass, not to provide knowledge. then quota.
I agree with the article is many ways that our schools do not produce guys who could take over a running business in a specified period of time- effectively
We teach all these guys toom so much of finance , marketing and entrpreneurship Leadership, HR management, international business etc etc and what not but hardly tell them how all that works in real.
Case studies used are usually 5 to 15 years old and with the change in the world after 2008, the recent curriculum is surely reduntant in most schools even internatioanlly.
Becomming street smart and developing behavioural skills is what most MBA schools focus on but is that enough?
