Experts mull over bridging gap between academia and industry- 9-Feb-2010
Ahmedabad: Industry experts today mulled over bridging the divide between academia and industry at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad here, with some of them saying that there is lack of practical trainning at IIMs ,regarding real management issues in industry.
"IIMs are not producing the kind of students which are required by the industry. The kind of people industry today requires are those who have competence to work under ambiguity and have the agility to cope up with different dynamic situations," Reliance ADAG President Human Resource Rajeev Bhadauria said.
"Dynamism should be the primary input today in all the models of education that we propose to teach, so that our curriculum must make people dynamic," Bhadauria said at a day-long 'Connexion' organised at IIM-A here. B-school graduates should be able to cope up with the market turbulence, he added.
Addressing the gathering, Chairman Post Graduate Programme for Executives at IIM-Calcutta Dr Biju Paul Abraham said,"We at business schools are failing in terms of teaching the basics. We teach them in ways that we want to teach not the way they want to learn, so there is a problem of teaching basics at B-schools,".
