The deliberations covered critical issues such as IIMs’ contribution towards Viksit Bharat goals, aligning focus of UG entrance examinations with futuristic requirements of the country, developing SOPs for MBA admission along with inter-IIM migration of students and fee refund policies, developing a policy for providing exposure to young faculty as well as to young IIMs through secondment policy across IIMs, and implementing reservation rosters for faculty and non-faculty.
