The following is a press note from the Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD regarding the selection of Directors of the Indian Institutes of Management.Government's attention has been drawn to reports appearing in a section of the Press that the Ministry of Human Resource Development is interfering in the process of selection of Directors of the Indian Institutes of Management and that there is "political motive" in the Government's decision to invite applications by an open advertisement. Nothing can be farther from truth; and these news reports are baseless and contrary to facts. The Directors of the Indian Institutes of Management are appointed by the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet. The policy and procedure for appointment of Chief Executives in autonomous institutions by the ACC has been laid down by the Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India. As per this procedure, each Ministry has to constitute a Search-cum-Selection Committee, with the concurrence of the DOPT for such selections. The Search-cum-Selection Committee would mandatorily include at least one outside expert of eminence, from the relevant field. The appointment is made by the ACC out of the panel as may be recommended by the Search-cum-Selection Committee. It is clarified that there has been no change in the 'Search-cum-Selection' process notified on the 15th March, 2002 by the MHRD, for appointments to the posts of Directors of the IIMs. As a matter of fact, each one of the present incumbents to the post of Directors of the IIMs, had also been selected by the same process of Search-cum-Selection Committee procedure of March, 2002. In order to ensure a more broad-based and transparent procedure, the posts have been widely advertised for the forthcoming vacancies of Directors of IIMs. All applications received as a result of this advertisement will be placed before the Search-cum-Selection Committees. In addition, letters have been written to eminent educationists, industrialists, heads of institutions etc. to recommend suitable persons for consideration by the Search-cum-Selection Committees appointed by the Central Government with representation of the Chairperson of the concerned IIM. The Search-cum-Selection Committees are also free to look for suitable persons beyond those who apply against the advertisements or have been nominated by eminent educationists/industrialists/heads of institutions. By way of illustration, it may be mentioned that the Government has opened the seventh IIM at Shillong. The selection process of the Director of this Institute is in progress and a duly constituted Search-cum-Selection Committee consisting of persons of eminence with Shri J.J. Irani as Chairman of the Committee, Shri R.N. Datta, Chairman, Board of Governors of the IIM, Shillong and Shri L.N. Jhunjhunwala as Members, along with the Secretary, Higher Education has commenced its work. This post was also advertised. In keeping with the NCMP commitment of autonomy to institutions of higher learning, the Central Government has not interfered with the functioning of the IIMs, or any other public institutions.

Computer-based CAT 2009 exam but no pattern change
Friday, August 7, 2009

Students appearing for the Common Admission Test (CAT) this year need not worry much as the examination pattern will not change even though the mode will shift from paper to a computer-based one. The candidates will be divided into 20 batches with two batches sitting for the test everyday over a period of 10 days.Prometric, the firm entrusted with the task of conducting this year's test, has said that CAT will be held in 20 possible sittings across 23 cities. However, irrespective of the delivery mechanism, the pattern of the exam for admission to MBAs in the prestigious IIMs will remain more or less the same. "It is only that instead of a pencil and paper, the students appearing for the exam will be given computers to mark the correct answers. There will be no major change in the pattern of exam," Ramesh Nava, Vice-President and General Manager, Asia Pacific, Japan and Africa of Prometric India, said. While the infrastructure needed to undertake this task will be determined only after the actual number of aspirants is known, the mammoth task might require about 15,000 computer. "Assuming that three lakh students register for the CAT in 2009 there would be a need for a minimum of 15,000 computers," Nava said.
Given the enormity of the task, Prometric, which has conducted computer-based examinations like GRE and TOEFL, hopes to leverage their experience at the international level for the CAT exam and is working closely with the IIMs in this regard. "Prometric has converted hundreds of testing programmes from paper and pencil to computer-based test delivery and we are applying the lessons learnt from that experience to the implementation of the CAT exam," he said. The IIMs announced in April that the CAT would be held through computers. While a computer-based system is expected to speed up the process of evaluation, it will enable IIMs and more than a hundred other Indian B-schools that rely on its scores to quickly take a decision on admissions. It will also provide greater flexibility to candidates in selecting the date, time and location of the test to suit their needs.
