With 138 members of this list and the list increasing all the time, a nav template is not a reasonable navigation tool. The list and a category are much better tools for this at this. Muhandes ( talk) 17:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

- Delete A list would be more appropriate in this case and it already exists. The list can be added to the "See also" section if required. Also, it has been declared that IIMs will be included in this list but they haven't been so far (unrelated but important). -- Vishal14K | Talk 19:25, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
