[edit] Do we need this?

Instead of the para below, maybe this article should have a brief write up about fees and governing structure.

The IIMs were in the news during 2004-05 on account of a controversy that arose when Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi, Human Resources Development Minister of the Government of India asked the institutes to reduce the fees that they charge by more than 50%. The stated intention of the Minister was to enable the students from the less-privileged classes to be able to afford the fees of such premier institutes of higher learning. But since his attempts at reducing the fees of the institutes would have affected the autonomy enjoyed by these autonomous institutions, this action raised alarm bells amongst the academics as well as in the industry. There was wide-spread media coverage and discussions and a public interest litigation filed by Sandeep Parekh and two others, in the Supreme Court of India brought the issue to a standstill. Mr. Narayana Murthy was one of the many industry stalwarts who supported the IIMs in their public battle for survival against the onslaught. Eventually, post a change in government following general elections in the country, the newly appointed HRD Minister withdrew the controversial missive. The original fee structure is now being continued for subsequent batches.

[edit] too superlative/self-glorious

Some of the words here are too superlative and unnecesarily glorify the iims... Need lotsa editing. doles 15:59, 2005 August 16 (UTC) IIM Lucknow

[edit] Recent edits on IIMK

I recently rolled back multiple edits that clearly glorified the IIM K section and in once case even attempted to delete information in IIM B section. These edits were contributed by anon users. This is a request to those anon users to please review Wikipedia policy on edits and also sign their names on their edits.

Today, there were more funny edits from someone who apparently loves IIMK too much at the expense of any love for other institutes. :-) doles 16:29, 2005 September 6 (UTC)

[edit] Who decides who the "elite" are?

India's elite institutes : IIMs ,IITs, AIIMS ... ok... NITs? ISI? who decides? why put it up in the first place.. --Keynes.john.maynard 20:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The case for a new IIM in Pune needs to be pushed faster

The proposal for a new IIM in Mumbai or Pune has been gaining demand for a long time. Ideally the emerging commercial capital of Asia namely Mumbai needs an IIM in the city for obvious reasons. But the non avilability of sufficent real estate in Mumbai due to the densely populated chacaracter of the city, has made people to think that establishing an IIM in Pune makes more sense as it is the educational capital of Western India, and also a hub of several highly ranked educational institutions and research institutions. The proposal to establish an IIM in Maharastra in Pune needs to pushed faster and requiste steps taken to establish an IIM in Pune needs to be pushed to its logical and fruitful conclusion.

[edit] IIM Delhi

Can someone also add about IIM delhi? --seXie^(t0lk) 19:21, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

This article is about Indian Institute of Management, not Indian Institute of Metals. If you were looking for the IIT, that article is located at IIT Delhi. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Management of Poverty or Poverty of Management?

This Indian Institutes are Management of Poverty or Poverty of Management? vkvora 07:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revamping the article

I am considering redesigning the entire article, specially in line with the article on IITs, since both give overview of institutions established with similar basic objective. LeaveSleaves (talk) 06:38, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
