The Missing Concern

The concern which this post addresses is about the admission procedure in Post Graduate Studies and to be precise in MBA program in India.
The question we pose here is not to the B-School’s or their management, it is specifically addressed to the “So called philanthropist” The MMJ types (Murli Manohar Joshi types)
The year 2004 was an incredible year for B-Schools who got unparalleled publicity and especially IIMs. All thanks to the new policy enforcement of reduced fee by MMJ followed by a thorough debate by other public writers exploring their own philanthropic roots.
This brings us to the X Factor that the real nightmare which every B-School aspirant goes through remains unaddressed till date. All B-Schools follow their own methodology and time period in dolling out Calls/Admissions. Missing centralization of this process results in students and their parents depositing Non refundable fees ranging from 10k to 130k in the college where the student gets his first call from.

Options left for the studen

• Don’t pay for the student expects to get a call from better institute later when it declares the result


• If you don’t get anything else go through grievance of writing the test again


• Pay the fees to the first college which gives a call and then wait for the other colleges to announce their results


• If the aspirant gets through a better college then


• Join it and forget his/parent’s hard earned money (But only if he can afford it. That’s actually the price you pay for hurting the ego of a B School and telling them that college ‘X’ is better.


• Forget the better college and join the college where the aspirant has already deposited the fee and settle for something less than what he actually deserved.

Afterthoughts

• Educational Institutes are there to provide education and not to earn money through gambling.


• The System and the ‘so called philanthropist’ who want the lesser privileged get better education opportunities


• Seem to be completely ignorant about this core problem.


• Or are purposely ignoring this core problem for some mutual benefit.

One of the main problem is that its not only the Post Graduate admission process rather the Graduation one also like that of the Engg. college is plagued with the same problem. And Even more worse fact is the citizens have accepted the fact that Education is a Business and this policy is part of their business. But the question is if it is so then why Educational Institutes are not in purview of Indian Penal Code…and there are no chances of suing them
