Post-liberalisation, training has become a business and the student consumer. In this scenario, management through all schools will contribute to a better assessment of their annually.

But what exactly are these polls?

We will find you.

With about 65000 students from the school’s activity in the order of 850 currently available, the competition is certainly increasingly hot. It is not only the candidates for the MBA, but also in the B-schools. Post-liberalisation, training has become a business and the student consumer. Management schools that are under the theme of the collection, transmission are chartbusters for the year. Needless to say they are going to put pressure on all its ratings each year. Although it is a lake on campus or a coffee machine at the youth hostel!

While the fundamental aim of the study is to achieve a healthy competition, as well as better training is open to students, doubt onthe method of abundance, as parameters and frequency of the rating it even more important, the authenticity of the information is in college. Life has spoken with a few B-chief of the school and staff with their views on the grey areas and what could be done more for scientific notation, objective, and perhaps more than for all college is acceptable. Of the 850 B schools in the country, about 250 voters, estimated in the polls reflect.

According to Professor D. Nagabrahmam, Director of the Institute for Management TA Pai, Manipal, “the assessment of academic institutions is a function of heavy research and not a sign of movement. I feel increasingly classification is a boardgame today. ”

Professor Philip J., director, Xavier Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship, Bangalore, believes that the rating exercise as apples and pears to compare. Composite colleges and standalones are weighed on the same balance with the same scale of a false perception.

“When it comes, as the intellectual capital and infrastructure, the composite colleges certainly have an advantage over us. Library because they are characterized by a kind of lach books or the computer center will be about 50 PCs. But what is,, Does institutions common to all 10000 students from the school, not only for MBA students. ”

This is the same case for the intellectual capital. The composite College May 30 Ph.Ds, psychology or teaching languages or art. And very often, a lot of UAS submitted consolidated many of these rating agencies. Is it fair, the use of the same way for all institutions of higher education is his question.

Feel free to the issue of teacher-student, the report, which is also one of the parameters to school B-Ratings. Some multi-programme UAS tend to focus all their members and their coupling Faculty-student teacher at a ratio of 2:1. “I can assure you that nowhere in the world, see this report,” says Philip. In addition, you can not compare one to four years, with 40 years, he said, the IIMs.

Marcel R Parker, Vice President - Human Resources, Raymond Group, which since the visit campus for recruitment, who said he had written on a large number of different parameters for B-schools. He is convinced that, if not all of them are reduced to evaluations, there is no basis for comparison. He agrees with apples and oranges, for example, Philip.

Ratings, if necessary, it should only of the AICTE or a similar organisation, the quality of the credibility of fun, “he adds.

Nagabrahmam share the same views on the categorisation of institutions. For some parameters, the IIMs should be assessed differently, he asks. “Yes, we have to learn some good things about them. But let’s do it in the wild and in good health.”

Profiles T.R. Venkatesh, Dean, The ICFAI Business School, Bangalore, on the other hand, sees no reason why they should not of the same race as the IIMs. “Why do not compare with the latest IIMs schools? This way, at least, we learn to improve every year. “Moreover, the new schools have an advantage in the fact that it is free of all problems inherited.” All The Best Practices there for us to succeed and grow, “that is his point of view.

Or the absence of verification, it is what is and this is causing concern in some quarters. Both Nagabrahmam and Philip confirmation of the opinion that research by the Agency for the accuracy of the information is necessary. Often, UAS, inadvertently or otherwise, rather exaggerating the figures, they say. This information is misleading and may cause harm to students of higher education, like ours, “says Philip.

Another concern is the frequency of the survey. While some of them feel once a year, all too often, others are comfortable with him. “For every initiative or investment will bear fruit, at least for a few years. That’s why this exercise every two years, aims to” highlight and Philip Nagabrahmam.

But Venkatesh believes that an annual survey is necessary because it is not only the school on its toes, but also help to bring students in each batch for a good decision.

What about amounts change each year? The fact that the settings change depending too often shows that the rating agencies are on a learning curve and try to improve the methods and processes each year, said Venkatesh.

Is this kind of ranking put unnecessary pressure on the students? Parker admits that unnecessary pressure on the three actors (universities, businesses and students) in this area, to life, a certain perception. “The classification of ridicule First Day of Companies is a good example. Et non-inclusion or non-participation of some settlements in the classification exercise also shows in detail.”

Venkatesh denies that pressure. On the other hand, this type of information relieves pressure for students and helps them to take a decision. But he lists a number of parameters which can be taken into account, and taking into account these notations. “Learning by doing is expected weighting. Most of the studies are not in favour of summer, a crucial period as an interface between students and industry.”

Secondly, the method of teaching, it should be noted, at present not be underestimated. He, moreover, that the importance of infrastructure should be reduced “, lakes and broad lawns does not make much sense, a B-student,” he said, and quickly added: “I do this not because we do not have a huge campus. Indeed, we are in a fast moving. ”

Philip feels higher education institutions should also be evaluated on their efforts to entrepreneurship and skills of students for global challenges. Profiles Uday Salunkhe, Director, Institute for Management Welingkars, Mumbai, believes that the rating agencies should visit institutions of higher learning, not only the facts but also to talk in the industry. “Unless you talk to teachers, students, school and the management agents, you can not complete the picture.”

Nagabrahmam, talks about the ideal situation, where all institutions of higher education in order to get this fight. “Unfortunately, there is once again the rivalry. Example, as we have solved the problem,” he asks.
