[edit] Are you guys for Real?

comma fullstop , what has this world come to!??!?! besides , ppl obviously tend to say good things about the things they are associated with. so take everything here with a bucket of salt!

[edit] It's "Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode"

... and not "Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode". The word "Kozhikode" forms part of the name, and there is no comma that separates it from "Indian Institute of Management".

I researched the above statement a little bit and this is the best response so far from my classmate at IIM Lucknow.

Is it Infosys Banagalore & Infosys Chennai or Infosys, Banagalore & Infosys, Chennai? The IIM is estd by the govt of India and each location gets its management and freedom to operate within a certain guidelines. But each location is an IIM. If you look at the official address, it says:

IIM, Prabandh Nagar, Off. Sitapur Road, Lucknow-226 013.

Therefore, the name is IIM & you are free to put or not put commas when you add the location name to identify the excact institute. The rules of English grammar tend to agree with Mr.Dole and say that you should put a comma.

I think the comma should return.

[edit] POV tag

Almost all of the IIM articles are like ads. Here is only one example from the vey first paragraph of this article.

Being a part of IIM family of institutions, which have earned worldwide reputation for academic excellence, the Institute strives hard for maintaining international standards in all of its academic activity.

I beg to differ. The above paragraph, and the article in general, only highlights the achievements of the Institue, and the reputation it enjoys. I urge people to have a look at entries for other popular colleges around the world. They are similar in tone and style. For instance, this is an extract from a prominent B-school page's entry: "It is among the most famous universities in the United States and the world." I request the person who disputed the neutrality of the article to withdraw the argument.
