Months after granting autonomy to the Indian Institutes of Management through an Act of Parliament, the human resource development ministry has decided to stop additional funding to six of them, which were set up during the UPA regime in 2008-09, citing the need to be self-sufficient.Having allocated the institutes Rs 333 crore each for building their permanent campuses, the government now wants them to meet any additional funding through their own resources or by way of loans, ET has learnt. The decision, which will affect IIMs in Rohtak Raipur , Kashipur, Udaipur and Ranchi , has yet to be communicated to their directors, ET has gathered.While the funds for campus construction were allocated to these six IIMs in 2008-09, actual construction started only in 2014.Except for IIM Ranchi, which is in the initial stages of building its permanent campus, most of these so called second-generation institutes are in the last leg of construction and will require additional capital.While the older IIMs are no longer dependent on government funding and meet their recurring expenses on their own, it may be a tall order for the newer institutes, which are yet to command a similar brand value.Most of the funds generated by the older IIMs are from the fees charged for management and executive education programmes. Such user charges are lower in the newer IIMs.Incidentally, the ministry had until recently been preparing a Cabinet note seeking about an additional Rs 300 crore for each of the IIMs to help them tide over cost overruns. However, the ministry ultimately decided against footing these and recurring expenses, arguing that the autonomous IIMs are expected to be self-sustainable.The ministry reckons some IIMs may have spent more than budgeted because they deviated from their original campus construction plans and added infrastructure according to their needs. This additional financial burden won’t be borne by the government.These IIMs will have to raise resources by way of fee increases, consultancy projects or loans, said people aware of the matter. The IIMs at Udaipur and Tiruchirappali are said to have spent Rs 344 crore and Rs 370 crore, respectively, on campus development.The government, ET gathers, will only release the amounts pending to the other IIMs: Rs 263 crore to IIM Ranchi, Ras 50 crore to IIM Raipur, Rs 46 crore to IIM Rohtak and Rs 27 crore to IIM Kashipur.
