IIM Lucknow's new admission policy bids for higher class diversity

Cool_Monk To add... Our society prefers dumb males to super effective females. Hence we (usually) have negligible gender diversity in our MBA cohorts. We are a country of 1.2 billion, yet for all practical reasons our output is only from 600 million. We, as a country, almost don't count half of our population (our womenfolk) for anything useful. What a shame!! Our women have to knock the doors of the Supreme Court so that they can be granted permanent commission (non-combat roles) in the Armed Forces. And, shamelessly the men are fighting tooth-and-nail to scuttle this. Rani of Jhansi had a front-line combat role in 1857, and yet our men are at least 200 years behind in their thinking. In the context of my earlier post....it is well known that girls / women are far better in people management than men. So moving forward, don't be surprised if IIMs encourage women in their cohort by awarding them additional points.

The_Lion_King Oh My..seems a great tug of war between engineers and non-engineers for an IIM Seat.. i feel its a bold move by IIM-L, whether its a good one or not we will find out next year. however i do feel if diversity is what IIM-L seeks it is not possible to get that by merely giving 2.5 mrks to non-engg. If d IIM's really want diversity they must align their selection process akin the Foreign MBA colleges... letter of recommendations, background check etc should be a part of the process apart from the normal CAT+GD/Essay+PI...

sivabharathula Read it few hours ago.I wonder why the IIM's want to repeat the mistakes again. We found that testing centre computers did not have updated virus protection software, Ahh!IIM's Enough of cabbages! Please stop this!. Every one knows that it is definitely not a virus and it is the poor piece of code which is to be blamed. We will have multiple partners this time. We cannot coordinate with a single partner. Wonder what happens when we have many of them. Why face trouble with a machine which depends on power, few pieces of network cables which are vulnerable and the connection might get lost at any point of time. 2 Weeks back when i went to take TIME AIMCAT 1121 ,the internet connection was working fine till 30 mins of the test. Then it started going on and off. So i had completed the test in offline mode.Finally when i tried to submit the test there is no internet connection . They tried all possible combination.No signs of luck anywhere. The ISP's IP is pingable which shows there is internet but still we are not able to get the connection. Finally we are asked to write down our answers on paper and give it to them . When asked they say DBA will enter the answers.(P.S I am a DBA with the database giant). When i see the results this week i could see that i wrote the test for only 46 mins. This can happen to prometric at any time. Writing answers on paper or taking the test are definitely not a replacement for the actual test. This happened to many aspirants last time. This will happen this time also.

sivabharathula Please note that the above comment is not intended against TIME . TIME has nothing to do with it. Same is the case of IIMs. Selection of the test administrators is to be blamed. Pro-metric is the biggest culprit.
