I think all that the columnist knows is 'ballyhoo'. Her analogies in the article the 'dearly-wife' and the 'secretly cherished mistress' is surely an attempt to be a columnist who wants to create a 'furore' and be 'talked about'...'Part-time MBA like most extramarital activities'.....'this one too arises out of certain unfulfilled needs and desires'..What are you trying to prove here lady?...How could you be so 'cheap' and '3rd-class' rated writer...I wonder why IIM-A grads dont 'ostrasize' you..You have been quite 'heartless', may be 'sadistic' to make such analogies.....You have failed to understand what hard-ships a part-timer might have gone through.Your article has surely been informatory. In fact I was looking for something like this. But at the same time the way you have 'insulted' part-time students makes me feel as if you have a 'bloated ego' because of making it to & through IIM-A. I am not too sure whether your intention was of writing something to help people or to 'ego-massage' yourself. In your other articles too your analogy 'cats' n 'dogs' for IT profesionals working in Big10 companies and other ones.....Oh Cmon !! Write better..

I agree with Vikas and Jay as this article has presented the aggression of snappy passout of IIM-A. I reckon media, magazines etc are responsible for the image of an entity in society and if they mislead people then its bad on their face and position being dishonest. I am pursuing my part-time MBA from AGSM in australia and know what i gained from this course and also what opportunities are knocking on the door. They talk about $$$ etc.....in USA, UK etc.... but being an engineer only I earn multiples of the average salary of an IIM-A scholar. I think its not just the degree and college but knowledge, hard-work and attitude counts a lot. These coulmnists are responsible for the discremination, racism and bigotry in society. If they show the right picture to world, our people and country would grow better and be more valuable.

I agree with Vikas Kapoor. This is just one attempt by a IIM student to salvage the remnants of their fading halo. Most of the IIM MBA's turn out to be misfits in the realworld. All that gives them is a free entrance to the club of similarly inflated egos. This whole concept of MBA's doing great Managerial work is just a fad being spread out by self fulfilling Schools..and the Media. The greatest Managers in the World..Lea Iacocca, Jack Welch, Dhirubhai Ambani did not attribute their success to any MBA's.
