IIM Boards Face Criticism for Vacant Posts and Weak External Representation

Some Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have boards with empty seats, which might affect their ability to make good decisions.

The law says these boards should have 19 members, including people from outside the institute.

But many IIMs have fewer members than this.

Some teachers think this could be a problem because the boards might not have enough different opinions to make good choices.

They also think the government should do something about it.
