AS WELL as being the world’s second-most populous country, India is the world’s largest provider of management education. But that scale (1)______ [concur] problems. A number of business schools offer substandard education, as Which MBA? has previously investigated, and smaller institutions struggle to stay (2)_______ [calm] . A quarter of business schools in India take in (3)_____ [lesser] than 60 candidates in each annual cohort, a class size that AIMA, the All-India Management Association, a national management-education industry body, calls “abysmally low”.

Whether in a well-attended programme or not, the employment (4)_______ [substance] for Indian business students have also dropped, according to AIMA. The cost of courses has increased—even in the lowest-quality schools—while the salary graduates can (5)______ [calculate] to earn is falling. “There a lot of people graduating from business schools who don’t get jobs in metro cities or big corporations,” says Rajan Saxena, the vice chancellor of the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, a private university in Mumbai, and chairman of the board of studies at AIMA. This is partly (6)_____ [as per] strong competition for relatively few positions, but also a (7)______ [disconnect] between educational and employer requirements.

Such problems have the potential to (8)______ [prevent] a country that will need ever-more good-quality managers. So as 2015 turned into 2016, AIMA published a strategy paper, seven months in the making, from a committee tasked with finding a way to improve management education in the country. The goal is bold: “By 2025 [the] Indian management education system should clearly emerge as the second best in the world, second only to that of [the] USA.”

AIMA suggests (9)______ [abase] pillars that have propped up business education in India for years. Standardised curriculums have been commonplace, says Dr Saxena. However, there is a vast gap between India’s best business schools (Ahmedabad’s Indian Institute of Management (IIM-A) tops The Economist’s global ranking of business schools’ when it comes to opening new career opportunities) and its more mundane colleges. Yet they both teach the same theory and techniques. That is wrong-headed. An MBA graduating from a business school in Kapurthala (population: 99,000) is much less likely to reach the board of a multinational firm than one coming out of a management institute in Mumbai (population: 12m). The skills needed to (10)______ [overpower] a smaller company—in Indian heavy industry, for example—are different to global corporations.

  6. In this great scheme of things you’ll get a B+ with regard to effort and hard work. Exactly where you lost us was on your specifics. As people say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more true at this point. Having said that, allow me reveal to you exactly what did work. The authoring can be pretty persuasive and this is possibly why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, whilst I can certainly notice a jumps in logic you make, I am not necessarily convinced of just how you appear to connect the points that help to make the final result. For the moment I shall yield to your issue but hope in the near future you link your dots better.
