IIMs and Business Management are not synonymous, as per performance of IIMs so far. 99% of IIM faculty have never stepped into a business organization at any point in their career. Most of them have a theoretical Masters degree or equivalent and a Felloship from IIM or a PhD from a university

on a topic which has no connection with business management.

Thus the IIMs faculty have no exposure to business management

when they join IIMs. They try to teach courses which have no

relevance to business management. Even if they are made a part of an industrial consultancy team, they plead they are "busy" and do not contribute to the consultancy and do not learn

business management. They only share the honorarium. They can never organise a training programme for industry executives.They

eliminate the most relevant industry oriented courses from the

curricula because of their ignorance about industry needs of

courses and teach such theoretical courses like Microeconomics,

Socialist economics, politics of development, where the basic tenet is:"Kashmir must be handed over to Pakistan." Given this

backdrop, IIMs can offer only rubbish in the garb of Business

Management, which can never be IIMs' cup of tea.
