I think that we are comparing two great institutions here and they are both at the top of their game. As far as rankings go, well those are crap. I can say this because I am a student of a NIT (Surat) and I see musical chair being played with the rankings every year, whether its engg colleges or bschools. As for me, it wouldnt have made much of a diff to me if I would join A or C. As for the 75% attendance thing, i guess its a matter of choice.Sandiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379325918522878798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-25072951559630451542010-02-17T10:33:38.569+05:302010-02-17T10:33:38.569+05:30maybe its just ain't a coincidence that certai...maybe its just ain't a coincidence that certain b schools r more into habit of producing attention mongers... chetan bhagat being one...along with the author of this blog !Ashishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899564089031521948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-52150872837055471372009-01-31T03:46:00.000+05:302009-01-31T03:46:00.000+05:30IIMA started its PGPX program on the heels of ISB ...IIMA started its PGPX program on the heels of ISB then. whatdya say bout that? :PNitinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891242201770546685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-37636756061459867042009-01-11T19:15:00.000+05:302009-01-11T19:15:00.000+05:30Nice post.

If you are an IIM-A alumni, the institute must have imbibed in a feeling of welfare for the country as whole. I can bet they never teach to endorse IIM-A and make a mockery of other IIMs! I dont know what special elevtive you took to have this stuff in your mind. It would have been great if you would have talked about the beauty of taking something from others! For that matter the executive developmetn pgm you talked about! Is it something to feel shy of, when we take something good from somewhere and master it better than others? I dont who is better but I dont see any point in making this statement by you!<BR/><BR/>>And what you wanted to prove by that drying underwear stuff! I guess you also live like normal human being and you wash your clothes and hang them for drying somwhere! I wont like to make a statement against any IIM for that matter. But where do you hang your clothes for drying? Do you hang them in your cupboard and lock it? <BR/><BR/>>And yes whats the point of having all Bong Profs? DO you have any problems. Anyone can see a racist in you from that statement. I guess you forgot that intellectuals are supposed to stand for India and not Kolkata or Ahmedabad like you standing. I guess by your statements, some regional outfits my contact you for advocating their interest. Can you see a repercussion of your statement! How come you earned your degree from such a prestigious institute?<BR/><BR/>> Well, architecture and building. Point well made. But ywould you like to read in an institute which has worst faculty nothing to teach but has a 5 start campus! Well, a good campus, high-tech and swanky is needed by everyone but not at the cost of the real thing for which it is setup and I guess that is EDUCATION! You should see that the recruiters dont come to see the buildings from all over the world bu to hire talent! They have great buildings than any educational institute here! DO you think that matters most! It would have been great if you would have dealt with this point in a manner to point out that the buildings are old but the people are there who make anything livelier! You know more than I do about how you could have handled this point!Ankurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144303520178741147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1147495511137259692006-05-13T10:15:00.000+05:302006-05-13T10:15:00.000+05:30@koolvibsflyinghigh"If you dont know Bengali in Ko...@koolvibsflyinghigh<BR/>"If you dont know Bengali in Kolkata, then you are gone because people dont want to communicate in any other language." -- crap !!<BR/>you knw wht?? u ve totally wrong idea abt Cal.. every Bong may nt be able to speak Hindi fluently.. but atleast they r able to understand it n ll def try to reply ur query, they watch hindi movies as much as they watch bengali movies.. u ve stated very wrongly abt Kol Mr Kool...<BR/><BR/>@rashmi<BR/>o ya Bongs r highly intellectual :) but thts not a pt to be highlighted.. we r Indians.. thts it..<BR/>i never saw IIT-ians comparing themselves? y do IIM-ites need to?? after all IITs n IIMs are 'd premier' institutes of our country!pmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241005563127361593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1145305156367123872006-04-18T01:49:00.000+05:302006-04-18T01:49:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.barbarindianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335786532366741947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1145304387512657462006-04-18T01:36:00.000+05:302006-04-18T01:36:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.barbarindianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335786532366741947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1144592635964359052006-04-09T19:53:00.000+05:302006-04-09T19:53:00.000+05:30What does having a 90% bengali faculty profile be ...What does having a 90% bengali faculty profile be a negative for IIMC if the faculty is well qualified?

Being a 1st year student of IIM A I have absolutely no incentive of doing so. I m just saying please try to get post your views in a more objective manner.

Your post is yet another A vs C post with perhaps content far more trivial than most.<BR/><BR/>The entire piece smacks of frivolity - is architecture that intimidates you really the source of IIM A's success? <BR/><BR/>In addition to insulting a lot of people from Cal, you're also belittling those of us at Ahmedabad.<BR/><BR/>I don't want to get into another debate of which is better. I believe both schools are great and both need quite some work before they become world class. <BR/><BR/>I am justly proud of my alma mater. But for things such as the quality of students that come here, the intensity of the course, the brilliant professors. Praising us with great architecture and mosquito free dorms is more insulting than calling us second class!<BR/><BR/>- An irritated PGP1@ IIMASuzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589805029135278495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1141115620795601502006-02-28T14:03:00.000+05:302006-02-28T14:03:00.000+05:30I quite agree with a lot of points you've put but ...I quite agree with a lot of points you've put but as many have stated it still will smell of a bias to any reader (It does atleast to me).<BR/>Why don't you conduct these kinds of IIMA Vs Other management Inst comparisons via an independent person rather than you yourself?<BR/>I have been at neither of the two campuses but if anything you've told for IIM C is true then its time for them to wake up.Apshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12714080590768486759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1141114611649646562006-02-28T13:46:00.000+05:302006-02-28T13:46:00.000+05:30Rashmi Bansal a lot was said by you in this blog a...Rashmi Bansal a lot was said by you in this blog about Infrastructure. Bengali culture, Lower middle class looking hostel rooms, mosquitoes etc.<BR/><BR/>What ever you said is based on very little information and that too fairly incorrect but what was your point in saying all this. Who were the target audience?<BR/><BR/>If it was just for comparing IIM C with A and B, then I must say it was an extremely narrow minded comparison. <BR/>I believe if you want to compare two different entities, than you should only compare the effectiveness of the outcome from them. Why do you want to see the process? Why do you want to compare on the basis of these factors that are not at all important? Why it is that you want to show some one miniature to prove yourself large? <BR/>If you want to put side by side IIMs than weigh on the basis of student’s profile, placements, academic achievements and how the alumnus of that IIM are being rated in the industry. These are the attributes that a student gains from high profile learning and with over all personality development.<BR/><BR/>If it was only to inform the Government or Board of IIM C regarding the “so called falling” Brand image, then also there was no need to put all this in a public forum. You could have prepare a report/ presentation and send it to Ministry of HRD and IIM C Board. <BR/>IIM is a brand name because the word INDIAN associated with it. It not about IIM A, B, C, I, K or L it is only about INDIAN and by posting such blogs you are seriously spoiling brand INDIA.<BR/>A Student while making decision about which IIM to join never considers its location or infrastructure. His only parameter is the value that he could add by joining the institute. If Govt. of India open an IIM in the middle of a “so called backward state” Bihar, student will join that too and companies will come there also because they only trust Brand IIM. <BR/><BR/>You said that hostel room looks like lower middle class tiny structure and hostels needs to be demolished. What was your point that a person from lower middle class has no right to study in an IIM or just by entering into IIM you are entitled to live in a Five Star Apartment? <BR/>Do you know that even today more than 25% of Indian population is below poverty line and literacy rate is 64%? When there is such a serious need of fund, why to demolish a structure that is perfectly safe and provide good living conditions to more than 700 students? Why don’t you write something that could help Govt. or other Indians in improving the infrastructure of our country in some way? <BR/>I think these issues are much much bigger than infrastructure of IIM C. But you won’t write about them because from your post it seems like you want cheap publicity.<BR/><BR/>Think at least for once about what I have said because no responsible Indian will post such immature thing.<BR/><BR/>I believe that as a grad of IIMs our responsibility is to feel every Indian proud on us. I request other readers also to not compare on such parameters. We must only try to enhance the brand equity of IIMs.Jaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01122124630629826798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1140901446913127452006-02-26T02:34:00.000+05:302006-02-26T02:34:00.000+05:30To UNdertaker...how many blogs of IIMA alumni have...To UNdertaker...<BR/><BR/>how many blogs of IIMA alumni have u read...how can u make such a generic statement...<BR/><BR/>please do ur homework before makin such statements......<BR/><BR/>and who are you to judge the immaturity...are u claimin maturity....<BR/><BR/>and most of all if she has acted immaturely why do u expect her to react maturely to ur comment...<BR/><BR/>all i can say is u have wasted ur time ..Rishavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903423466349004389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1140871909022899802006-02-25T18:21:00.000+05:302006-02-25T18:21:00.000+05:30Rashmi,I agree tht everyone has his/her own opinio...Rashmi,<BR/>I agree tht everyone has his/her own opinion abt everything but displaying it in public forum (mind it, ur blogsite is a public forum by now) will obviously create such furore, which i m sure was expected by you. <BR/>I also have lots of opinion abt a lots of things which may be controversial like selection of ganguly/ attitude prob with IIMA alumnus/ winning of Debojit et al, but that does not mean that i will make my outburst on a public forum like this. <BR/>All i can say is that this is the most immature article by an IIM alumnus i have ever read.Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500900692200021465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1140812317626376612006-02-25T01:48:00.000+05:302006-02-25T01:48:00.000+05:30@Falstaff, good to know that ganja and mishthi doi...@Falstaff, good to know that ganja and mishthi doi are still available in plenty. I fear, however, that our dear pusher-man Kishanda and his equally stoned goat are no more. Circle of life. <BR/><BR/>You couldn't have met Rekha at IIMC. She is long gone from there. Two kids, and in the USA.<BR/><BR/>Comparing Joka's lakes with something in the US is unfair. In comparison with anything in the US even the famed Louis Kahn structures are going to suffer. <BR/><BR/>BTW, the B V Doshi (of Kanvinde and Doshi, student of Le Corbusier of Chandigarh fame) designed IIMB campus looks impressive initially, but try spending some time in those dark, dank, granite interiors. Also, none of the IIMB buildings will pass US safety regulations. Try taking small children upstairs in the library: they are likely to fall from them. You'll need to tie them to table legs or something like that.<BR/><BR/>How about this: I am the only guy to have circumnavigated the Joka campus in both directions in a boat. This was when the entire locality (tens of square miles) was under water after a heavy monsoon downpour. This feat can never be repeated. Take that, Northwestern!<BR/><BR/>This is Rashmi's blog, and she is sharing her genuine impressions. Par for the course. But she is making her impressions public. She can take the heat too, I guess.<BR/><BR/>I visited my undergrad alma mater a few years ago with my son. It was a very painful experience. The only bright spot was my nickname, scribbled in then wet cement in the bathroom, had endured three decades of wear.<BR/><BR/>A general upgradation of facilities across the board, all over India is in order. I think a tour of Infosys, Wipro and other such gleaming modern campuses should do much to inspire. On the other hand, civic sense needs to improve across the board among all Indians too. Without this, a gleaming, modern, new campus will quickly die of rot.Murlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163488467167172182noreply@blogger.com
