You heard right. New IIMs clash with the old and this news was published in many reputed news paper and The Time of India is one of them and I am providing you news from that new paper:

MUMBAI/ AHMEDABAD: Simmering differences between the seven new IIMs and six older, more established ones are threatening to erupt into a full-blown conflict. New IIMs are peeved that their older counterparts are not treating them as equals in resource and faculty sharing, and in the Common Admission Test (CAT) process and revenues. And, at least two new IIMs are planning to write to the human resource development ministry demanding better collaboration and resource utilisation among all institutes.

IIM-Ranchi officials told ET they will approach the ministry with a suggestion to form an 'IIM co-ordination committee' to ensure collaboration between all institutes.

"The bubble will burst if institutes such as IIM-Ahmedabad choose to play elitist and refrain from sharing the best faculty and help improve the productivity of all IIMs," says MJ Xavier, director of IIM-Ranchi. "IIM is an umbrella brand and students should not be seeing any difference in quality...the IIM brand will get wiped out if it doesn't get inclusive." He points to the 10% drop in MBA applications in the past two years to make his case.
Adds Prafulla Agnihotri, director of IIM-Trichy: "We should be collaborators, not competitors...we (new IIMs) have an equal right to be part of every initiative taken by the IIM brand."
