I agree that fee hike makes it difficult to get admission for economically backward people, but how many economically backward people are really going for MBA? If they are economically backward they can’t even afford the graduation, leave alone post graduation. So only a negligible or say almost 0-2 % people are affected by fee hike.

And IIM fee hike is justified 4 maintaining standard. Today we are not competing among our self we are competing with the people around the globe and also with the globally acknowledged universities. So we need to maintain d standards on our own because we can’t expect govt subsidies at post graduate level when govt can’t even assure primary education to all.

We need to think about people below poverty-line who need at least primary education not MBA degrees. But at this stage we cant compromise d quality also so fee hike could b a solution presently to meet d standards to compete globally..

t is true as much difficulties you face on the way to achieve Ur aim that much you will be keen and desirable for it. But difficulty does not mean to cut your arms and make you unfit for it , Rise in fees did some thing like that talent matters and born at different places 150% rise in fees makes 150% lesser chances for poor peoples to get success. To compete with the rest of the world we should make our army much larger and stronger too, but we are making them much weaker trying to fetch chances or opportunities instead of giving them, because their are various sectors in our country who don’t have so much money even they can not ask for such huge loan as they have many other responsibilities and if capital will decide the wind of campus environment that group of people can not survive.” It does not matter how much higher is the GDP of Ur university matters how much is the GDP of Ur country”.

To maintain the standards, fee hike is necesry at times and moreover is a specialized post graduate course with work ex as one of the scoring options so its even affordable 4 the masses, and moreover IIMA is willing to provide financial support to the needy then why not welcome the quality control measure?

High on subsidies and rebates and silent on inflation control. Is the Budget 2008-09 a healthy diet for Indian economy?

Well i opine for the notion that,it is more of a popularistic budget.FM has tried to allure people by such subsidies and waivers,without having a control on inflation,and moreover asking the banks to slash down their lending rates.The waviers would make the farmers more careless and casual towards their loans.
