IIM Websites....for the MBA dream of India!

....Welcome to my blogspot for MBA aspirants in India.

I am an MBA from IRMA and my name is Aju John Varghese. I have worked in the past full-time with TIME & IMS and is now AVP & Karnataka Business Head with CL (I was GM & the head of College test prep of TIME South in the past).

As a rule, I try to write the CAT every year to keep in touch with the changes so that I can help my students effectively in preparation for the tests. I was associated with a Business Research firm called Analytiks based in ITES Infopark, Cochin as a Promoter Business Head and has been into core management education & has in the past taught for MBA with the ICFAI group & been an Assistant Professor at Rajagiri School of Management, Cochin.
For more info on me you can check out: http://ajuinjesus.in

I have created this page for all MBA aspirants & my students anywhere, who would like to get access to all the best online resources for getting equipped for a career in Management. I am convinced that there are enough sites that do the job well, but there is no good aggregator of links for the same. In this site, i have tried to collect & pass on to you some of the best links that would come of use to you- hence to act like a beacon or a lighthouse for the MBA aspirant!

My only request to you:
1)Remember those who helped you reach where you are
2)Help the poor of India become self-sufficient
3)Let me know more links if you come across some good ones which are not part of this list.

So enjoy, and have a good career & life.
Bye & God Bless.....Aju John...

Thanks and regards,

Thx for the link Swan!

My take on the article:

....Do you notice an inherant contradiction in the article?

The article starts with: ..."Fearing an emerging crisis from a faculty shortage..."
Then it says: ..."Individual IIMs have a faculty strength of around 80..."
Again: ...."“Even as the demand for management education grows, we are not able to concurrently develop our faculty resources to match the requirement..."

  • So it might seem to me logically that all these should add upto increasing the FPM in-take to address all the above issues in the future.

But! it finally reveals an amazing info: "...The average annual intake of doctoral students is 10-15 students at each campus..."

Invariably, if we each IIM can produce only 10 to 15 FPM's every year (provided every one taken in passes out in due time), among 80 faculty- it can be:

1) The IIM's want to maintain the quality & want to ensure that only the best pass out OR mentoring future Mgmt faculty might not be unfortunately the priority at the IIMs - with the exception of IIMB seeing the efforts that they are taking this year
2) All said and done, Faculty shortage for Mgmt education is here to stay- and the shortage has to be filled by the other Management Ph.D granting institutes of India or Institutes abroad.

But apart from the above, the steps pointed out in the article if taken forward is a wonderful thing & the IIMs deserve the credit for taking the step in the right direction. In the doctoral program, learning is an integral part & each IIMs would have their own speciality. The student gets the bouquet to choose from, and this would help differentiate the IIM FPM since no other group of institutions can give that variety!

Regards,
Aju John...
