Agency report
New Delhi, Jan 11: The Human Resource Development Ministry has turned down a request from Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIM-B) to open a campus in Singapore citing that the prestigious B-schools should meet the domestic demand.
IIM-B sometime ago had sought the consent of the Ministry to open the campus to which it wrote back saying it should start it within the country as there was so much unmet demand, Ministry sources said.
Last month there was a meeting of Directors of IIMs in New Delhi when they were asked by the government to meet the domestic demand, the sources said.
