Hyped
by Babloo on Oct 15, 2007 09:22 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

IIMs are one bloody hyped up institution. All they do is make news for being hired as analysts for foreign investment banks, which undergrads in US get into without an MBA. And TOI here prints it as headline news as if it is something great. Just imagine some country in Africa making a big deal about a few guys from their country making it to entry level programming jobs in Infy. It is exactly the same parallel. And gullible people here think it is great, without knowing what's what

dear mr. babloo,
it seems, you are one who could never get in to any of IIM. If you had, then your ideas would have been totally reverse of what you have written.
First thing you have to keep in mind is that we, more than one billion indians, all of us without exception, everyday struggle - first to survive, then to make progress and in the race to make progress, always comes progress of everything. If someone can make money out of your contribution, only then he or she or a company will pay you.
And here comes capability of an individual person. You may be a high school drop out or an IIM professional. It all depends on YOU. And what you do and what you contribute to society and country depends on YOU, AND NOT THE EDUCATION OF IIM.
