An Appraisal: What ails B-schools in India?

Published On: 29th June 2010

By Rajesh Jha

 After six decades of India’s independence, our B-schools follow the United States as a model for business education. This blind aping of the US is, in fact, a bane for our education. This is valid in spite of the fact that our IIMs – Ahmadabad and Calcutta in particular – were assisted by the leading business schools of the United States during their initial days. Our B-schools continue to recommend American books as there is a dearth of good Indian books written by our authors.
