New Delhi, April 5
It is up to the Indian Institutes of Managment (IIMs) to decide whether they want to award degrees or diplomas to their postgraduate students, according to officials in the HRD ministry.
Despite the ministry allowing them to grant degrees to their students, the IIMs have not yet arrived at a consensus on the matter.
“The decision to grant degree or diploma is to be taken by the IIMs. They are free to do so. They have created a strong reputation for themselves, and their academic awards including the Post Graduate Diploma (PGDM) are recognised globally. The ministry will not intervene in it,” a senior HRD ministry official said. The Parliament had on December 20 passed the IIM Act, empowering the premier management institutes to grant degrees to students. — PTI
