Hi Snehal,

I have read your article and you have hit a v controversial topic!

Please answer to yourself:

1. Where do you think all knowledge and information comes from? By joining a MBA course does a student learns everything as if its magic?

2. For instance take your example, while covering the IIT Techfest your have quoted lines which were WORD BY WORD either from Techfest page on WikiPedia or the TechFest.org website. But it was fair and allowed because you had met the people behind the event and attended the event from start to end. (so some reference is allowed)

The point here is no project will be done without some reference material and guidance. Its always a good thing to see what others have touched upon before giving your take on it! When it comes to a community site like Management Paradise all users are expected to contribute to the community. ANd hence the rules are in place.

There are numerous threads where people discuss and debate their ideas and projects, why? to learn and to IMPROVE!

I see nothing wrong with that, and hope you will get the point that a MBA is no good without knowledge. I have seen Graduates being paid more than MBA's.

Internet is a great medium. A powerful resource. And with great power comes great responsibility. You cannot take away the options & power from the people because some of them are misusing it or are not responsible!

Hi,
I have gone through the article and the reactions posted in the forum.There is a bit of concern in the article regarding the type of students ( cut copy paste) who purchase the project or get from the internet sources to pass their qualification because these are the people going to be the top bosses in companies. This is unfair to those students who work hard on their own to complete the project. When it comes to results, sometimes students buying projects can achieve better marks than the one who has done it on his own. It further demoralizes the students who work hard.
Knowledge sharing can not be condemned and certainly it depends on the student how he/she uses the projects available on the net but unfortunately in a corrupt society like ours, we have many students following the easier way and ultimately doing the harm to themselves and their organisation. Imagine, in the real life situation when the same 'copy paste' student is asked to complete a research project, and he has no idea how it is done, what would he do...probably contact the organisation who used to prepare project reports during his Bschool days.

You raise a good point; however, I believe that it goes beyond the purview of the article (as well as our response), since outsourcing a company project might not essentially be something we need to condemn. Sooner or later, you're going to be found out at work, so such things won't take you too far.

Besides, I also feel that the student loses out on a lot of 'corporate networking' when he gets someone else to do the work for him, so it's a sort of a double-whammy.

P.S. It's not just our society; human beings are born corrupt. Intelligence begins at trying to find the easiest way out of any situation....it's just society that conditions us to discourage it. Ah well, that's a topic for a different thread altogether though
