Elite B-Schools in India produce graduates who are often carried away by the ego that they are products of primier institutes. They lack the humbleness and modesty and being down to earth. As emotional thing is becoming more important in today's work culture, its also important that IIM or elite B-School graduates scale down their self-proclaimed status that arises out of the belief of being prodigies. However, though i have not studied in a B-School in India, being an employee of a non-elite business school while i was in India, i felt that the IIMs are an institute of repute and i have a lot of respect for its faculty members and their scholarly levels. I have attended a few training sessions of theirs and now when i am in overseas(Malaysia) working here as a lecturer , i find the same skills being taught here by people from western educated backgrounds or people directly from western institutions. It is the when i realise that Indian B-schools are quite good and are definitely of great standards. here in south east asia there is a trend of blindly following and believing in western education. This is becos they are weak in educational standards and quality. Thats not the case in India as we have really good institutes like our B-schools. However again, this does not mean that IIM walas or top B-School grads will not have normal down-to -earth attitudes.This is waht lacks in them as they are overwhelmed with the pride that they are exceptional.
