Nominations for IMC Awards are pouring in from leading B-schools like IIMs, XLRI, SPJain, IIFT, NMIMS Business School, Symbiosis University and Great Lakes. More than 30 leading B-schools have already registered to submit their nominations for these prestigious awards.
Meanwhile, the last date to register and submit nominations is extended till June 20. The IMC Awards will be judged by a 3 member Jury, and will be announced on August 9 at IMC Conference in New Delhi.
Giving a major boost to IMC Awards platform, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has recognized and endorsed the IMC Awards 2014. AICTE will review the best-practices of IMC Awards 2014 and will recommend to other B-schools.
Expressing his support, Dr SS Mantha, Chairman, AICTE said, “ IMC Awards is a good initiative to research, document and highlight good work that our B-schools are doing. AICTE will review these best-practices.” He further added that if AICTE found the quality & documentation of Award Winners to be of high order, it may circulate the best-practices followed by the IMC Award winners for adoption by other B-schools.
This endorsement becomes yet another reason for progressive B-schools & Universities to participate in IMC Awards, who have been doing good work but have lacked a credible platform to showcase their initiatives & best-practices. However, B-schools will have to hurry as the last date to register for IMC Award Nominations is June 20.
