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

educational institutes should always be autonomous. less governement more governance.more pressing issues are there before the country. 13 IIM institutes for this vast country is just not enough.

Bill promises to meet a long-pending demand to convert diplomas awarded by the IIMs into degrees. But the real quest is whether gov control would help make these institutes centres of excellence. Public-funded institutes in India figure nowhere in the top 100 global ranking index. IIT have functioned in deciding their own curriculum, yet evidently the gov is seeking to interfere in their functioning. In case of the IIMs Bill, it is not clear to what extent gov seeks to interfere in functioning?

I think IIM should have independent institutes but at the same time they should have authority to provide Degree instead.It would be best for institutes have their independent decision making rights in teams of their education system.

I think the IIM's need to remain independent and autonomous institutes. These elite institutes which provide much needed quality managers to country need to be functioning independently. Government interventions tends to reduce the agility of these institutes. The management education scenario is highly qualitative world wide and if these elite institutes were to remain relevant internationally they would regular overhaul of the curricululm and adopt best practices. The current status is best.

Give the degree with a retrospective effect so that students passed out in the recent past are benefited by getting degrees instead of a diploma. Issue them a fresh or equivalent degree certificate.

IIM bill is a good idea. I have following observations on this. 1.Director and Chairman and few Governing board members often form a clique and run the institution in dictatorial manner. Faculty members do not have any say in managing affairs of the institution. The faculty representative in the Governing board is picked up by the director/Chairman who is essentially his yes man. Even new bill fail to address this issue.

Some more suggestions: (a) Academic Council of the institutes should have at least two academicians of repute as members. These members may be chosen based on the nominations of the faculty of the institute. (b) The Chairperson for the search and selection committee for the post of Director should be a distinguished academic to be chosen by the faculty of the institute through a process to be specified by the Govt. of India. (c) The Director should hold the post for one term only.

Overall a good bill. I give below few suggestions: (a) The two faculty representatives in the board are to be chosen through a process of election instead of being nominated by Chairperson. (b) There should be a member of the non-teaching staff on the board to be chosen through a process of election. (c) The proposed variable pay to the Director should be capped at 100% of his / her Basic Pay + DA to guard against excessive short term thinking which may harm the institutes future.
