How to skip/index/ in uri-segment

As I know you cannot skip it using CI only. There is a simple reason for that: that the controller can potentially contain other functions (products(), lists(), ...) and there is no way identifying the right one to be called when a request arrives.

If the controller contains only this function (index) you can try url_rewrite, but I don't recommend it.
