Location of the IIMs

The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are a group of public, autonomous institutes of management education in India. The establishment of IIMs was envisioned and initiated by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, based on the recommendation of the Planning Commission.[1][2] They were established with the objectives of providing high quality management education and to assist industry through research and consulting services.[3] The IIMs primarily offer postgraduate, doctoral and executive education programmes. IIMs are considered to be among the most prestigious and elite business schools in India.[4][5][6]

Each IIM is autonomous and exercises independent control over its day-to-day operations. However, the administration of all IIMs and the overall strategy of IIMs is overseen by the IIM council. The IIM Council is headed by India's Minister of Human Resource Development and consists of the chairpersons and directors of all IIMs and senior officials from the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India.[7]

The two-year Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), offering the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), is the flagship programme across all IIMs.[8][9][10] Some IIMs offer the Fellow Programme in Management (FPM), a doctoral programme. The Post Graduate Diploma and Fellowship are considered to be equivalent to MBA and Ph.D., respectively.[3] Many IIMs also offer short-term executive education courses and part-time programmes.

Some of the earlier established IIMs now also offer a one-year Post Graduate Programme for experienced executives.[11] The one year PGP programmes follow an Internationally benchmarked pedagogy and entry criteria. In the Financial Times Global B-School Rankings, IIM Ahmedabad's PGPX programme was ranked #11 in 2012.[12]

The IIMs

Admission process

Different programmes of IIMs follow different admission processes. Admission for residents of India to the flagship two year PGP programmes at all IIMs is based on the Common Admission Test (CAT). CAT scores are often used as the primary short-listing criteria for admissions. International/overseas applicants have the option to apply using GMAT scores in lieu of CAT scores. [41] GMAT scores are a prerequisite short-listing criteria used for admission to the one year fulltime programme for experienced executives.[42] [43] Test requirements for doctoral programmes vary, some IIMs require candidates to take a Research Aptitude Test (RAT) while some accept scores from standardized tests such as the CAT, GMAT and GRE. The overall profiles of candidates including past academic and professional accomplishments are considered for all programmes. Some programmes require essays and academic and/or professional recommendations. The final round of admission evaluations involve an interview, before which some IIMs conduct other evaluation processes like written assessment tests and group discussions.

Entrance exam

The Common Admission Test (CAT) is a management aptitude test conducted by the IIMs primarily as an evaluation tool for admission to their two year PGP programmes. It is widely considered as one of the most competitive exams in the world,[44] with a success rate of around one in two hundred.[45] Originally conducted as a paper-and-pencil test on a particular date all over India, CAT is now conducted as a computer-based assessment operated by Prometric since 2009.[46] The online test is now spread over a few weeks period.

In August 2011, the six newer IIMs (Raipur, Rohtak, Ranchi, Udaipur, Tiruchirapalli and Kashipur) announced that in the coming year they will eliminate the GD round. replacing it with a common written analysis test to evaluate communication and comprehensive skill. The seven older IIMs did not announce plans to change the admission process.[47]

The admissions for the one year full time programme is done by shortlisting based on GMAT scores in conjuction with candidate profile suitabilty. This is followed by evaluation of essays and a panel interview round. The quality of prior work experience and future leadership potential is a critical factor in the selections.[42] [48][49]

Reservation policy

IIMs follow a caste-based affirmative action policy as per the provisions in the Indian constitution, similar to the reservation policy elsewhere in India.[citation needed]As per the rules of admission to IIMs, 15% of the admitted students must be of the Scheduled Castes, and 7.5% of seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The Other Backward Classes have been given 27% reservation since 2008 with the consent of the Supreme Court of India. It was implemented in a phased manner. Candidates applying for reserved seats are also required to take the Common Admission Test, though with lower requirements. Candidates have to clear further rounds which may consist of Group Discussion and Personal Interviews.[citation needed] Once admitted to the course, a reserved category student is required to meet all the criteria for completing the course as a General category student.[citation needed]

Alumni

In year 2005 leading alumni of various IIMs founded alumni organizations in various parts of the world, in order to form a dynamic community of leaders and thinkers who make a difference across the world.[50]

In year 2007 various alumni chapters of IIMs decided to form a Global IIM Alumni Society, to network existing alumni chapters and provide a common platform to link them all. It organizse global management events, publish books, contribute back to the parent institutions, network alumni via a shared intranet and extranet etc."[51]
