Sir

I strongly convey that students and parents of prospective students / candidates for admission to IIMs are AGGRIEVED with the stand-off between the so-called "old" and "new" IIMs, which requires active intervention by the Central Govt to protect the weaker stakeholders from some profiteering privateers.

Kindly refer the following statement on IIM Raipur's website

http://www.iimraipur.ac.in/admission.htm

"The six new IIMs (Kashipur, Raipur, Ranchi, Rohtak, Trichy and Udaipur) have decided to adopt a common process of WAT& PI to be coordinated this year by IIM Udaipur. In case any of the older IIMs (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Indore, Kozhikode and Luck now) are willing to share their WAT& PI scores with the six new IIMs, the common candidates who have applied to new IIMs, need not to appear for WAT& PI process separately, else they have to appear. The common candidates will be intimated the names of older IIMs sharing WAT & PI scores with new IIMs in due course of time"

Accordingly, seeing the non-cooperation affecting students, we at the India Against Corruption andolan urge the Central Govt. to immediately REGULATE all such matters like admission, fees, syllabus etc and ensure CENTRALISED STANDARDISATION of IIMs to protect the students from profiteering academic mafias and their "dons".

sincerely
