If you want to make IIMA another "Govt Schoolcollege", please go ahead and use Prof Gupta's idea. IIM is an environment, an ambiance it is not a public place where you can afford to have additional 500 people with the same infrastructure. If that was the case then why did not you have it earlier?

The system for offering married accommodation for one-year programme on campuses, particularly when IIMs practice a 'pressure cooker' approach of teaching. He says two students can easily be put in newly-built apartments accommodating additional 100 participants.

Besides,the knowledge collected at IITs when he joined IIM becomes trash during his IIM study. Are we going in the right direction ? I am a layman. Perhaps some IIM faculty can speak on it ti justify their selections and recruitment
