NEW DELHI: The four new IIMs at Ranchi, Rohtak, Raipur and Trichy have a surprise in store for those who belled the CAT this year. They are working on what could be the next big thing among IIMs. The newly minted institutions are mulling a plan to have their own admission process and even hold joint interviews and group discussions to cherry-pick candidates for this academic year. Currently, all IIMs individually send out call letters for interviews and GDs.

This coming together will greatly ease the stress of having to hop from one interview to another. "We don't want leftover candidates from the older IIMs. IIM-Trichy will have its own identity and admission process. The directors of all new IIMs will meet soon to decide on holding joint interviews and using those scores for admissions," IIM-Trichy director Prafulla Agnihotri told TOI. 

"There is great synergy when the IIMs come together. We have been talking about it (holding joint interviews and GD); all we need to do now is to sit down and chalk it out," P Rameshan, director, IIM Rohtak told TOI.

History of Rohtak

The areas of Rohtak district under went many changes, extending over  hundreds of years before the administrative unit emerged in its present from.  Under  the  Mughal  Emperor  Akbar,  when  his Minister  Todar  Mal  divided  North  India  into  administrative circles, the areas of Rohtak(as a part of Suba of Delhi) fell within the Sarkars of Delhi and Hisar firuqa.  Lying close to the imperial city of Delhi, the tract which now comprises the Rohtak district,was often granted in military Jagir by  the  Sultan  and Mughal emperors to the Nobles of the court. For this reason Rajput, Brahman, Afgan,& Baluch chiefs have at different times enjoyed its revenues. On the death of Bahadur-Shah-I(1707-12),the successor of Aurangzeb, the Mugal  empire began to decline rapidly.  The areas of Rohtak frequently experienced a change of masters. The claims of Imperials were contested sometimes by the Rajputs,Jats & Sikhs and often by the Marathas. George Thomas, the protage of a Maratha leader, Appa Kandirao, established his authority at Hansi and  extended it to Meham and Rohtak for a number of years, until Sindhia and various other regional  forces combined to  derive him away. Sindhia was, however, not destined to hold for long his conquests to the west of the Yamuna. By the treaty of Surjit Arjungaon, signed on Dec.  30,1803, the  Rohtak area alongwith the other possessions of Sindhia situtated to the west of Yamuna passed to the British and came under the administration of the North-west provinces.

The British had no intention at that time to hold large territories beyound the Yamuna.  Accordingly, a number of  Chiefs and  leaders  who  had  done  good  military  service against the Marathas or had atleast remained neuthural, were settled in this tract to form a barrier of independent outposts between the British border and the Cis-Sutlej Sikh estates  as  well as the trans-sutlej rising  kingdom  of  Ranjit Singh.  Accordingly, the Jhajjar territory was given to Nawab Nijabat  Ali  Khan  and  the Baluch  possessions  at B.Garh to his brother, Nawab Ismail Khan. Gohana & Kharkhoda-Mandothi tehsils were given to Raja Bagh Singh of Jind & Bhai Lal Singh of Kaithal as life jagirs.  The villages Lohari, Patudha and Kheri Sultan in  the  south  east  corner  of Jhajjar tehsil were given as a seprate Jagir to Mohmad Khan son & Nawab Nijabat  Ali  Khan. The estates of Hassngarh, Kirhauli, Pyladgarh(Pehladpur) and  Khurampur in Sampla area were also granted to him for life. Rohtak,Beri and Meham tehsils of the present distt. were given to the Nawab of  Dujana  who  resigned the major portion of the gift in A.D.1809 because it was beyond his power to manage it.
