After resisting a fee hike this year, (IIM-B) has decided to effect a 10% increase in fee for post-graduate programme (PGP) in management from 2006. IIM-B is first among the big three IIMS to go in for a fee hike. From the current Rs 1.5 lakh a year, the two-year PGP would come with a fee tag of Rs 1.65 lakh per annum. The decision was conveyed by IIM-B director Prakash G APTE, in the board of governors meeting last month the last chaired by outgoing chairman SM Datta. The hike, he told members, is to bridge the deficit since the programme is subsidized and more seats are being added to the programme. This year, only IIMS at Indore, Kozhikode and Lucknow increased the fee for PGPM marginally, while the IIMS at Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta agreed to retain last years fee structure. All IIM directors have agreed to move towards a uniform fee structure as desired by the HRD ministry Though the Board suggested that IIM-B should enhance its image by having international faculty and international students, the director advised caution. Offering admission to foreign students in a liberal manner is not desirable as it will mean compromising with the rig our and quality of the programme. The institute has an extensive student exchange programme involving as many as 46 foreign universities. Exclusive executive education programmes conducted for foreign companies have been greatly successful and the demand for such programmes is growing, he told the meeting. After IIM-A, IIM-B is set to launch an executive MBA programme. A faculty committee has been constituted to work out the plan, and also look at possible collaboration with leading foreign universities
