1. Admission: It has been my experience from teaching that many students who do MBA should not have studied it. So the first step would be not to consdier the marks that they score in the entrance exams but to find out whether they can be managers first and good managers next. For this to happen the mode of admission should be streamlined to admit those who should and not those who scored.
2. Specialisation: The b-school should play an important role in determinig and helping the students to select the specialisation in the third semester or fourth trimester in a full-time 2 year course.
3. Subjects: As far as the subjects are concerned the major areas of Finance, OB/HR. Marketing to be continued. The subjects and the course curriculum should be more industry oriented with case studies of recent stories of success and failure to make the learning complete. Teaching just the concepts with a minor industry reference as is done in many places would not be enough.
4. Industry Interface: A lot of activity should be continued to bring people from the corporate so that students have the feel of what they are going to do two years hence.
