The Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore said on Wednesday that it had received a circular from the HRD ministry stating that it would review the functioning of all the IIMs in the country.
"The setting up of a review committee is not a new move. Review committees had been set up earlier, once under the chairmanship of H P Nanada and the second one under Dr V Kurien," Director of IIM-B, Nagadevara said today.
However, there has been a huge gap of nearly 15-20 years between the last review committee and this one, he said while refusing to comment whether the move to set up a review committee was prompted by the delay by the IIMs to implement the quota system during admission.
Various developments had taken place in the last 15-20 years and to
assess whether the IIMs had kept pace with the changing times, could perhaps be one of the reasons behind the step taken by the government, he opined.
