ReplyDeleteyou did not see the IIM degree...
ReplyDeleteThe IIM degree was obtained post joining the service. Its not directly related to Finance or anything. He is in ADB or Ministry of Finance not because of his degrees but because he is an IAS officer. Other civil servants with similar educational quaifications or better ones will not even be considered. Thats the gameplan of IAS lobby for you.
ReplyDeleteiim degree was govt sponsered and was in public policy..i can bet this chap wont have an idea about financial instruments, compensation planning or social security
ReplyDeletethose talking about for degree are really frustrated dudes who were unable to crack upsc and are here only to remove their frustration.ias officers work is administration and not the research in particular field.they are there not to create but to implement policies given to them by government and minister of finance isnt necessarily a iim graduate,he is elected by prime minister.those ministers have lot of economists for advising them
ReplyDeleteias officers arent for creating but for implementing policies of government.they are administrators not EXPERTS of particular field in which they are posted.also elected finance minister doesnt necessarily have a iim degree,hehave lots of economists advising them.so dont care about degree and go to another site for removing frustration of not being able to crack upsc
ReplyDeletehe is there not for nothing,ADB wont allow anyone, he is certainly qualified and experienced for the job.How IAS and IIM both dont matter
