The institutes that will fie the petition include Xavier Labor Research Institute (XLRI) in Jamshedpur, Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH), the Management Development Institute and S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) in Mumbai among others. These institutes had met on Monday to finalize the strategy for opposition of the new rule.The private b-schools have alleged that the implementation of the new rule could dwindle the quality of management education in India.
According to the notification by the AICTE, individual institutions have also been barred from conducting their own group discussions (GD) and personal interviews (PI). Instead, the states have been directed to conduct the GDs and PIs, which are part of the second phase of the procedure for admission into b-schools.

However, the rule has not been welcomed by b-schools and they have argued that the rule kills their autonomy in admissions and would in turn lead to a decline in the quality of education at top private b-schools.
The institutes that have decided to petition against the rule have also garnered the support of Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) Director Bakul Dholakia. Dholakia had earlier challenged attempts by former human resource development minister Arjun Singh at impinging into the autonomy of the IIM.
