The proposed IIM Bill 2015 proposes to grant statutory status to thirteen existing Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) at Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Indore, Kozhikode, Shillong, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Kashipur, Tiruchirapalli and Udaipur, and declare them as Institutions of National Importance, to enable them to grant degrees to their students in the academic courses conducted by these institutes. Till now, these Institutions could award only certificate, Post Graduate Diploma and Fellow Programme in Management Certificate, which lacked universal acceptability in the field of academia and research. The Post-graduate Diploma in Management Programme was relatively unaffected by absence of a formal degree, both in terms of recruitment of students as well as suitable placements in job market but the Fellow Programme in Management did not get the same status as that of a Ph.D. in the job market, especially in faculty appointments. As a result, the Fellow Programme in Management (equivalent to Ph.D), without the formal degree stamp, has not, been able to attract talented students, required to develop a strong research base in the country in the field of management education and also address the faculty shortages affecting the management institutions in the country. The proposed Bill will address this gap. Fulltext: Draft IIM Bill 2015 Give your inputs/suggestions on Draft IIM Bill 2015 The last date to share your views is 24th June, 2015

I think government and PSUs should start recruitment from IITs and IIMs and compete with private sectors in terms of perks being offered rather than making it compulsory to serve in India.

Clause 22 should ensure minimum funds to be granted to any Institute. Older IIMs (IIMC, IIMA, IIMB) have self-sufficiency in terms of funds. They should be assured of atleast some minimum grants from the government in return for them following the Act of Parliament.

Two-year full-time courses in IIMs should be recognized as flagship courses of the IIM and should be conferred with the flagship "MBA degrees" Many students with substantial work experience join the IIM's two-year programmes which are more rigorous than one-year programmes. Please look at the data before taking decision of any petition. One-year courses can be recognised "Executive MBA" in line with international practices.

Clause 32(c) says that if an office bearer was appointed to office on wrong grounds 9incorrect information furnished by the candidate running for office) or a defective selection process, the decisions such an office bearer will still hold valid? This is not acceptable.

Clause 21(2) says "The decision of the Central Government whether a question is one of policy OR NOT, shall be final." This clause is a threat to the autonomy of the IIMs because it goes beyond prescriptions required around policy and gives the MHRD powers to delves into other matters of IIMs. 31(2)(e) enables the Co-ordination forum to "perform such other functions as may be referred to it by the Central Government." This is a very open-ended clause.

Clause 5(e) talks about only those students who are currently pursuing education in the IIMs. What about the students ho have already completed their education from the IIMs. Whether diplomas awarded to passed out students will gain automatic recognition as degrees across the world under the Act of indian Parliament? Clause 12(2)(o) doesnt cover degrees or diplomas. Will this take away the autonomy of the IIMs to make regulations around the degrees or diplomas they confer

The well performing institutes should be allowed to function in autonomous manner while the ones with poor performance record need to be held accountable. Quality of education is what matters in IIMS. Nature of certificates one gets through institutions rarely serves any purpose as long as these certificates are not in consonance with requisite skills.

This is good but i have never seen anyone from IIM or IIT joining Govt of India. We should make them mandate to serve/work for Govt which is made in case of Medical PG's..

It's a better plan However, there should be a mandate for bond or contract to serve in India after graduation. Also, merit based students placement is to be implemented together with measures.
