The finalists have been chosen by an eminent IMC Awards Jury including Dr Debashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM Kozhikode; Dr. Devi Singh, Director, IIM Lucknow; Fr. E. Abraham S.J., Director, XLRI, Jamshedpur; Dr Pritam Singh, DG, IMI & Former Director IIM Lucknow; Dr Rajan Saxena, Vice Chancellor, NMIMS University, Mumbai; and Dr Sesha Iyer, Director, S P Jain Institute of Management & Research, Mumbai.

The nominations received for Indian Management Conclave Awards carry new ideas brought in by different B-schools to add value to their MBA programmes, making them more relevant in todays fast changing business and economic environment. IMC Awards 2013 had received a huge response with over 50 nominations from top B-schools including IIMs, PGDM Institutes, Central University B-schools, and Private University B-schools.

Terming the judging of nominations a great learning experience, Dr Rajan Saxena said, What clearly comes out of these cases is that the B-schools are really concerned about the declining credibility of management education and their programs.

The diversity of initiatives also shows that development in management education is not only restricted to major schools in mega cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore but even smaller schools in tier II and tier III cities are making consistent efforts towards adding value to their quality, he added.

Dr Pritam Singh, Director General, IMI, said that the IMC Awards nominations show that B-schools in India are actively pursuing some of the best ideas in the field of management. I hope sharing of these unique initiatives at IMC 2013 will benefit large universe of B-schools in India, he said.

The Jury awarded individual scores to each of the nominations and the finalists were chosen on the basis of average sum of the individual scores by each jury members. The three broad parameters on which B-school nomination has been awarded scores by the jury include:

Impact: What is the impact of this initiative on its target-group, and other key stakeholders? Is the impact measurable? What are the supporting documents to this effect? Uniqueness: Is the idea/initiative & its execution unique, or is it merely copied from western models/other Indian institutions? Applicability: How applicable is this idea to other B-schools? Can many/most B-schools apply this idea? Or it has very limited use for other B-school? The more applicable the idea to other B-schools, the more will be its scalability and future impact.

In case, the Jury members institution had entered the IMC Awards 2013, as an accepted international practice, the concerned Jury members did not award any score on that entry. The average scores of rest of the judges were considered as final for this nomination.
