The findings show that entry into a management institute is loaded in favour of the urban rich and against the rural poor. The reasons for this inequity lie in the type of schooling, medium of instruction, education of parents, and father's occupation, on the one hand, and admission procedures, on the other. The policy implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the role of academicians as well as academic administration. - Reproduced.  aManagers  aIndian Journal of Industrial Relations
