BENGALURU: Disagreeing that India's top institutes cannot compete at the global level, two CAT toppers from Bengaluru say the Indian Institutes of Managements have the potential to compete against any institution.
Chitra Vijayasarathy, who scored 99.19% in CAT 2014, told TOI: "There is a problem with the kind of research happening in India, but I think our management institutes are some of the best, which is why so many compete for seats there."
Mohammed Riyaz Ahmed, with a score of 99.8%, says management techniques used in India are borrowed largely from the West and most of them are outdated. "...This is because there aren't enough PhDs researching in this field, which is something I intend to do if everything works out," Riyaz, a mechanical engineer from BITS Pilani, Goa, said.
Both of them, however, said they will not leave the country for greener pastures. "I know plenty of opportunities will come my way after my course, but I've already decided I will work in India and contribute to building our institutions and firms," Chitra, an electronics and communication engineering graduate from MSRIT, said.
While she completely backs her future institute, accessing her result wasn't an easy task for Chitra, who had to sit before a desktop for more than four hours on Saturday before she could see it. "Several of my friends and family members also tried checking my results from different places, but I could only access it by 10.45pm," she said, adding that even at that time she could only access it through an unsecured site that other aspirants had shared with her.
Riyaz, though, was among the lucky ones who got it instantly, before the server crashed. "But several of my friends found it really difficult," he said.
