Information
The Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, (IIM-B), which is faced with an acute shortage of teachers, has said that its student intake can be increased by 54 per cent only in a staggered manner over three to four years and not in a year as proposed by the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development.

The proposed increase in intake was to compensate for the 27 per cent reservation announced for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in institutes of higher education, including IIMs.

IIMs cannot implement the increase (in student intake) in one go. It cannot be done in one year, IIMB director Prakash G. Apte told presspersons after the institutes Board of Governors met here on Wednesday. The meeting was chaired by Mukesh Ambani.

Identifying teacher shortage as the most critical issue, Dr. Apte said that IIMB had only 73 faculty members against the approved strength of 89.

The Government has to give us the money. Around 15 to 20 acres of land will be required and, for that, we will have to go at least 10 km from the present campus, Dr. Apte said.
