Only six Indian B-schools have noteworthy incubation cells
In an earlier post, I wrote about how educational institutions in India need to emphasize on creating job-makers as opposed to job-seekers. A story on Livemint tries to capture some of the same thoughts on the role of B-schools in fostering entrepreneurship in India. As per the story, of the 1200 B-schools in India, only six have incubation cells that have made some impact.
The author recommends not only scrapping the current curriculum in B-schools, but also revamping the entrance examinations for these B-schools. He feels that right from the primary school level, the pedagogy and the evaluation methodology don’t encourage entrepreneurial traits such as thinking out of the box, creativity, tolerance to ambiguity and risk-taking ability. Memorizing facts is encouraged rather than synthesis, analysis and creative application of information.
