The decision taken by
Odisha Government to recruit management students for state run PSU is highly
appreciable. This will obviously bring
corporate culture .But a cloud of criticism looming around it as none of the state-run
Universities were not selected for campus drive. The selected institutions are XIMB, IMI BBSR,
IIM Raipur, IIT Kharagpur & IPEH whose performane records are far better
than OUAT and Utkal University.
This is an competitive world and for better performance of
organization you need smart , hardworking and performing managers. Though OUAT
& Utkal University have good track record of campus selection in last five
years, but it is still lags far behind in terms of good teachers, quality
teaching and infrastructure. So when u have
option of getting students from better institution,
why one should run behind state run
universities. Thus Instead protesting, these universities should strive hard to come to forefront and put their name in list of elite
institutions so as later on they will not find any problem relating to either
campus recruitment or different government grants.
Secondly, the organizations which are taking part in
recruitment are IPICOL, OPTCL, GRIDCO, OHPC, IDCO. Out of these OPTCL , GRIDCO
& OHPC does not require students of agri-management while other two may
take. On the other hand IPICOL & IDCO may recruit students of Personal
Management and Industrial Relation depending upon the vacancy. So, instead of
having limited departments, these universities should diversify their area of
courses so that recruiters will have
options to take students from different areas of management .
On the other hand i would also like suggest the Govt. of Odisha to recruit management
students for their different departments like agriculture, energy, excise etc for
better bureaucracy which take odisha from Developing state to a Developed
state.
