Good management schools abroad have students from a variety of academic backgrounds. Such students with multiple perspectives, lend rich insights to class discussions. That is not the case with Indian scenario.  Most of management students are comprised of Engineers. The challenge for Indian School is to increase the presence of non-engineers in the classroom. This would enhance diversity in the classroom and would expose the leaders of the Indian business world informed Prof. Prof. Gautam Ghosh, Director, TSM Madurai, one of the oldest B School of South India.

Classroom experience is enhanced by a diversity of thought which is generated by bringing together people from different backgrounds, Prof. Gautam Ghosh said.

The diversity of a university’s faculty, staff, and students influences its strength, productivity, and intellectual personality. Diversity of experience.

Research shows that diverse students in a management class room are more productive, creative and  innovative than homogeneous groups, and suggests that developing a diverse  faculty will enhance teaching and research too.
