IIM-K unveils Gyanodaya centre
The Indian Institute of Management - Kozhikode (IIM-K) has launched Gyanodaya Centre for Pedagogical Innovation and Publishing, a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to build a vibrant, inclusive, and globally relevant knowledge ecosystem. Announcing this latest centre of excellence (CoE), IIM-K Director Debashis Chatterjee said, 'The future of education lies not just in delivering knowledge, but in reimagining how it is created, contextualised, and shared.' 'Gyanodaya is the IIM-K's leap toward that future. Envisioned as a CoE under IIM-K's 'Vision 2047' and aligned with the aspirations of India's National Education Policy [NEP], the Centre aims to become a crucible for cutting-edge pedagogy, publishing excellence, and knowledge sharing grounded in Indian wisdom and global best practices,' he added. Professor Atanu Adhikari, the founding Head of Gyanodaya, said, 'Gyanodaya is built on the tenets of pedagogical excellence, global relevance, and the sharing of indigenous knowledge. We aim to establish a win-win-win model — where learners, authors, and institutions benefit symbiotically.' Gyanodaya addresses both immediate and long-term academic needs. In the short term, it focuses on developing and disseminating peer-reviewed content, including case studies, simulations, monographs, books, and research notes. Over time, the Centre aims to become a global hub for educational innovation, fostering collaboration among institutions, faculty, and practitioners worldwide. The centre has already made a strong start — over 30 original case studies, accompanied by detailed teaching notes, have been published, spanning disciplines from marketing and finance to the humanities and liberal arts. To maintain academic integrity and publishing efficiency, the centre operates with the support of Pandulipi, a home-grown online manuscript management platform developed by IIM-K's web team. The platform facilitates seamless submissions and incorporates a three-stage peer review system, with reviewers chosen for both domain expertise and pedagogical insight.

AI gets a seat in IITs and IIMs, guidelines here
In IITs, IIMs, and universities across the country, the use of AI sits in a grey zone. Earlier this year, IIM Kozhikode Director Prof Debashis Chatterjee said that there was no harm in using ChatGPT to write research papers. What started as a whisper has now become a larger question: not whether AI can be used, but how it should and professors alike are now open to using it. Many already do, but without clear guidelines. The real issue now isn't intent, but the lack of defined boundaries that need to be India's top institutions, including IITs, IIMs, and others, the debate is no longer theoretical. It's practical; real; urgent. From IIT Delhi to IIM Sambalpur, from classrooms to coding labs, students and faculty are confronting the same reality: AI is not just here. It's working. And it's working fast. "There's no denying AI is here to stay, and the real question is not if it should be used, but how. Students are already using it to support their learning, so it's vital they understand both its strengths and its limits, including ethical concerns and the cognitive cost of over-reliance," said Professor Dr Srikanth Sugavanam, IIT Mandi, responding to a question to India Today Digital."Institutions shouldn't restrict AI use, but they must set clear guardrails so that both teachers and students can navigate it responsibly," he further BY IIT DELHIIn a changing but firm step, IIT Delhi has issued guidelines for the ethical use of AI by students and faculty. The institute conducted an internal survey before framing them. What they found was 80 percent of students admitted to using tools like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Perplexity AI, Claude, and the other hand, more than half the faculty members said they too were using AI -- some for drafting, some for coding, some for academic new rules are not about banning AI. It is more about drawing a line that says: use it, but don't outsource your CAMPUS, A SHIFT IS UNDERWAYAt IIM Jammu, students say the policy is strict: no more than 10 percent AI use is allowed in any student put it simply: "We're juggling lectures, committees, and eight assignments in three months. Every day feels like a new ball added to the juggling act. In that heat, AI feels like a bit of rain."They're not exaggerating. There are tools now that can read PDFs aloud, prepare slide decks, even draft ideas. The moment you're stuck, you can 'chat' your way out. The tools are easy, accessible, and, for many, here's the other side: some students now build their entire workflow around AI. They use AI to write, AI to humanise, AI to bypass AI detectors."Using of plagiarism detection tools, like Turnitin, which claim to detect the Gen-AI content. However, with Gen-AI being so fast evolving, it is difficult for these tools to keep up with its pace. We don't have a detailed policy framework to clearly distinguish between the ethical and lazy use of Gen-AI," said Prof Dr Indu Joshi, IIT Mandi. NOT WHAT AI DOES, BUT WHAT IT REPLACESAt IIM Sambalpur, the administration isn't trying to hold back AI. They're embracing it. The institute divides AI use into three pillars:Cognitive automation - for tasks like writing and codingCognitive insight - for performance assessmentCognitive engagement - for interaction and feedbackStudents are encouraged to use AI tools, but with one condition: transparency. They must declare their sources. If AI is used, it must be cited. Unacknowledged use is academic IIM Sambalpur, we do not prohibit AI tools for research, writing, or coding. We encourage students to use technology as much as possible to enhance their performance. AI is intended to help enhance, not shortcut," IIM Sambalpur Director Professor Mahadeo Jaiswal told India even as tools evolve, a deeper issue is emerging: Are students losing the ability to think for themselves?MIT's recent research says yes, too much dependence on AI weakens critical slows down the brain's ability to analyse, compare, question, and argue. And these are the very skills institutions are supposed to build."AI has levelled the field. Earlier, students in small towns didn't have mentors or exposure. Now, they can train for interviews, get feedback, build skills, all online. But it depends how you use it," said Samarth Bhardwaj, an IIM Jammu ARE UNDER PRESSURE TOOThe faculty are not immune any more. AI is now turning mentor and performing stuff that even teachers cannot do. With AI around, teaching methods must old model -- assign, submit, grade -- works no more. Now, there's a shift toward 'guide on the side' lecture, more interaction. Instead of essays, group discussions. Instead of theory, is all about creating real-world learning environments where students must think, talk, solve, and explain why they did what they did. AI can assist, but not answer for WHERE IS THE LINE?There's no clear national rule yet. But the broad consensus across IITs and IIMs is this:AI should help, not what you don't just like John J Kennedy, former dean at Christ University, say India needs a forward-looking one that fears AI, but one that defines boundaries, teaches ethics, and rewards original students know they can't ignore AI. Not in tier-1 cities. Not in tier-2 towns will keep debating policies. Tools will keep evolving. But for students, and teachers, the real test will be one of discipline, not access. Of intent, not AI can do a lot. But it cannot ask the questions that matter.- EndsMust Watch
