The document discusses curriculum development at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A). It provides background on the growth of management education in India and reviews literature on quality management education, stakeholder approaches, and the role of top institutions in guiding other schools. The methodology used case studies of programs at IIM-A and a student survey. IIM-A's profile and curriculum development process are described. The survey found students wanting fewer compulsory courses, more electives, and a focus on practical skills. Recent developments aim to address these issues through curriculum reviews, fewer cases, and hiring more industry faculty.

This research study aims at highlighting areas that institutions of higher education need to focus on
based on student’s perspective for colleges in and around Udaipur, Rajasthan. It gets educational quality inputs
at the point of contact with students. This study is a descriptive research using a positivistic approach of
collecting (primary) data using the survey method with convenience sampling. College level students at the
under graduate and post graduate level were surveyed for this research. A structured questionnaireusing five
point scale was developed and data collected was statistically analyzed for a level of significance (α) of 5%
using a five point Likert scale. A total of 72 student responses from three institutions of higher education were
received. The study identified sixteen parameters/features important to students studying in colleges. On as
many as eight of the sixteen parameters, majority of students are not satisfied with college education. These
include: (a) Facilities for medical emergencies; (b) Industry exposure; (c) Placement support; (d) All round
development; (e) Opportunities for co-curricular activities; and (f) Facilities for sports. Besides these areas, the
following areas also require attention on priority: (a) Overall experience of students; and (b) Practical
knowledge of subjects taught. These represent the challenges that must be addressed by institutions of higher
education to enhance student perception of education quality

Making Management Education in India Meet Global Qualitypaperpublications3
Abstract:Management education in India is under increasing demand with close on a lakh of students passing out each year. Demand has especially increased after changes towards privatization and globalization, offering great potential to aspiring MBA students. According to the Business Standard dated 20th March 21, 2014 “India’s Marquee B-schools make a dash for global recognition”. Tangible benefits of international accreditation attract global faculty and students besides helping justify higher fees. Further, B-schools are not satisfied with a single accreditation, but want the triple-crown, namely. Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).

Conducting regular evaluation of all the programs must be implemented.
SIPOC MODEL IN MOROCCAN ENGINEERING EDUCATION CONTEXT: LEAN APPROACHijejournal
Morocco country faces a set of challenges related to the global economic crisis which strongly affects the
funding dedicated to different development sector. In this way, engineering schools are expected to respond
to higher education's heightened requirement while using the minimum amount of resources. Lean thinking
is a systematic approach to improve the efficiency of the educational process by promoting continuous
improvement. It can be applied both to learning and administrative steps to eliminate activities that do not
add value. In order to apply lean thinking principles in Moroccan engineering education we need to
understand how process activities create value and interact together. The process approach is a powerful
way of visualizing process flow and how inputs are transformed into outputs using different resources. The
purpose of this study is to introduce the first two principles of lean thinking, namely value definition and
process mapping, in Moroccan engineering education. Firstly we have chosen to study the ENSEM

The Hybrid-Flexible (HyFlex) design model is a course design model that combines Hybrid learning in a Flexible way, such that students can either attend face-to-face class sessions, participate online or do both (i.e. alternate between face-to-face mode and online mode), according to their needs and availability, without learning deficits. Student satisfaction and learning outcomes (i.e. academic performance) should be the same regardless of the mode they choose. The aim of this study is to address these issues. A total of 376 students enrolled in a HyFlex information systems course responded to an online questionnaire. One-way ANOVA tests results revealed that no significant differences were found between students who chose different delivery modes on satisfaction, multiple choice test, and written exam scores. However, significant differences were observed on continuous assessment scores. The discussion relates to the importance of conducting other studies on this particular design model.

This study investigates the study of Academic Performance Indicators of College Teachers and their self- assessment. Academic Performance Indicator (API) is a quantitative measure that gives the growth of a student, teacher and an institution. Since 2010, API has been implemented by several universities and institutions in India. To maintain the standards of higher education, API was initiated as an attempt to link teachers selection and their career advancement. In this paper, four categories are reviewed and these categories are compared with the other standards followed in other institutes/states. Dr. K. Anuradha | B. Subasri | S.

Right to Information Act (RTI) a powerful law enacted in year 2005 for better governance in the country. RTI law is backed by Article 19(1) (a) of the Constitution of India which talks about freedom of speech and expression. For proper usage of this right one should have proper information about the Public Authority. Public Authority carries wider meaning than only government. There are two objectives of RTI Act, 2005, one is to bring transparency and accountability in governance and other one is to setting up of Central Information Commission (CIC) and State Information Commission (SIC) to hear appeals and complaints. There are lot of peculiarities in working of CIC and various SICs. Some state commissions are performing exceptionally well whereas some are lagging behind. Most of the state information commission offices are facing challenges in terms of vacancies which ultimately leading to backlog of appeals and complaints. Second biggest challenge is appointment of efficient Information Commissioners who can dispose cases in effective way and in timely manner. There are Information Commissioners who have given landmarks orders and disposed off large number of cases. Thus we can see the role of information commissioner is crucial for successful implementation of RTI Act, 2005.
Present paper will critically analyze working of Information Commission at central and state level alongwith some important orders delivered by CIC and SIC.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

8. 1/3 Quality Management Education
• Shukla Shubhendu (2013) recommends courses should be
need based and syllabi should be changed periodically.
Lack of specialization specific to industry, is one to the
problems of our MBA program.
• The materials available are not yet-specific or relevant to
Indian context.
• Afza Noor (----) mentions that areas like public
governance, sustainable development, agriculture and
rural management, environmental and natural resources
management, functions of municipality and local bodies
and cooperatives and public sector management need to
be given importance in the schools that globalize
successfully.
• Dayal Iswar (2002) states that the very best Indian
Business Schools need to be more research oriented in
the context of India.
8
9. 2/3 Stakeholder Approach :-
• Havaldar Krishna (2012) is of the opinion that
instead of following the pedagogy of the US system
in totality, India should change its curriculum to
meet the needs of its society.
• Stakeholders’ involvement in curriculum redesign is
abysmally low.
• John Beena & Panchanatham N. (2011) in their
study they found 3 important aspects for curriculum
development which are
1. Institute-industry linkage
2. Less emphasis on theoretical aspects
3. Evaluation system.
9
10. 2/3 Stakeholder Approach :-
• Report of the Working Group on Management
Education formed by National Knowledge
Commission (2005) states,
Although India produces a large number of management
graduates, perhaps next only to the U.S., scholarly
debate on curriculum, pedagogy, and innovation is
negligible.
Most institutions depend on curricula and materials
developed elsewhere and have not developed an
intrinsic capacity to respond and evolve to the changing
needs of various sectors of industry and services,
student interests, Non-Government Organizations, or
the economy and society.
Many are unable to fulfill the mandatory changes
imposed on them, such as upgrading of the curriculum
by the Universities or the Board of Management Studies.
10
11. 3/3 Guardian of Management Institutions :-
(National Knowledge Commission Report, 2005)
• India needs a large number of excellent institutions.
The possibility of leveraging the better-rated
institutions to develop the promising Mgt. Edu.
Entities (MEEs) needs to be explored.
• The better rated institutes should each adopt 3 or 4
aspirant MEEs in the region to assist them in
improving levels of quality and ratings. Such
assistance can be in the following processes:
Curriculum development and delivery;
Case study and teaching note exchange;
Student exchange;
Sharing of experiences in pedagogy;
Placements of students for both summer training
and full time jobs;
Faculty development.
11
Cont…
12. • The concerned MEEs and the better-rated
institutions may arrive at mutually acceptable
arrangements for funding such assistance.

24. Faculties of different areas at IIM-A striving for
updating curriculum for different programmes as
per the demand and need of the present market.
Compulsory & Electives courses are updated
keeping pace with the industry/market
requirement.
Faculties from different areas develop new
elective courses and are offered in particular slot
of the academic calendar.
Some courses are very popular and get huge
responses from students whereas some courses
fail to attract students because of students’
profile, other existing popular courses, new
appealing electives, limit of credits etc.
Professor’s Interview :-
24
25. • Authors carried out a survey on Curriculum
Development among the students of IIM-A. Total
120 responses received from the students (PGP
79%, ABM 13%, and PGPX 8%).
• Followings are the results of the survey.
Courses Sufficient Insufficient
Compulsory 93 7
Electives 52 48
Quality of Courses
All the numbers are in %
Students’ Survey Results :-
No. of Courses
25
26. - Too many compulsory courses, they should be
more flexibility as people with a background in
a particular area waste time and energy by
attending classes .
- Include more modern content.
- Courses should focus on theory as well as
cases and not just cases.
- Reduce number of courses. Could have been
more effective if lesser course will be taught in
the same time frame.
Students’ suggestions on Compulsory
Courses :-
26
Cont…
27. - Eliminate exams. Have more assignments and
independent field pursuits to practically see
implications and applications.
- Many courses do not add value and highly
theoretical. Even with cases one cannot relate
to what is actually happening. Courses in which
activities are done add more value.
- Over reliance of cases needs to be shunned.
- Too fast paced.
- Course load should be reduced and shifted to
second year.
Students’ suggestions on Compulsory
Courses :-
27
Cont…
Cont…
28. - Should be taken by more than one faculty.
- Should be more outcome oriented.
- Increased emphasis on Indian Cases vis a vis
Harvard Cases. We can relate better to the
former.
- Will be good to add negotiation skills workshop
based courses in multiple semester – it is the
most useful skill once we graduate.
Students’ suggestions on Compulsory
Courses :-

Cont…
Cont…
29. - Should be more rigorous.
- Bidding system to be done away. If a student is
interested in the course the institute should
make it available to the student.
- Visiting Faculties sessions should be spread out.
More number of classes to be taken by
Visiting/Guest faculties as they are more in
touch with real life.
- Clashes between courses needs to be taken care
of effectively.
Students’ suggestions on Elective
Courses :-
29
Cont…
30. • Link curriculum to the placement requirement.
• Reduce the number of cases but making
students do a thorough analysis of the cases.
• Need to focus on teaching fundamentals much
better, and then doing more problems solving
in the class and reduce the number of cases.
After a while, cases get boring since the
marginal utility reduces.
• Electives could be made available for first
years as well. Also some of the compulsory
courses can be made optional.
Students’ suggestions on overall
curriculum development:-
30Cont…
31. • Exam taking should be made more
experiential rather than paper-pen based.
• A student should be allowed the space and
time to explore his interests during education.
Compromise on the "rigour".
• Include more guest lectures, live projects.
• Courses should be upgraded to include more
current skills required.

part.

are offering full time courses.
