The list of all degree colleges, about 548 of them, is at

IMI Bhubaneswar launches its web page

Update on 5th April 2011: There is now a press release at http://www.businesswireindia.com/PressRelease.asp?b2mid=26418. Following are some excerpts from that release.

Good news is in store for B-school aspirants from Eastern India. With two new International Management Institute (IMI) campuses ready for admissions in Bhubaneswar, Orissa and Kolkata, West Bengal— students from the Eastern region will be able to receive international-quality management education – virtually at their door steps and will not have to travel to other parts of the country in search of quality education. All this is in keeping with IMI’s aspiration to scale new heights as one of the top-notch business school in the Asia-Pacific region.

… As the new feathers in IMI’s cap – IMI Bhubaneswar and IMI Kolkata will be offering best international-standard management education. Both the institutes would be offering PGDM programs based on Industry-oriented curriculum. The overall aim is to groom students for immediate employability as well as develop cutting-edge course curriculum and specialized research programmes and other activities of the Institute in collaboration with Industry partners. Both the institutions would like to be known as international-level centres of excellence in learning – focusing on teaching and research in the field of management in sync with the fast changing interconnected world.

Both IMI Kolkata & IMI Bhubaneswar campuses are ready. And if all goes well the IMI authorities expect to be in a position to run regular PGDM programme from July 2011 after formal approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which is expected in May 2011. Meanwhile applications have started pouring in from prospective candidates.

… IMI Bhubaneswar, located in one of the fastest growing metropolis of Eastern India, with its 16 acre Campus, promises to write its own saga of excellence. It has by far the largest campus in the IMI family. The IMI Kolkata campus has an area of 3 acres. The IMI Delhi campus also has an area of 3 acres.

Both the campuses have world-class facilities that stimulate interactive learning with separate academic and residential blocks. The academic block features lecture theatres, faculty offices, administrative offices, meeting rooms and auditoriums that can house up to 300 students. The residential blocks are equipped with wi-fi and can accommodate about 400 students in the campus.

Both IMI-B and IMI-K have completed recruitment of the first batch of faculty members.

Once selected, finances should not be a problem for the IMI students as tie-ups for bank loans will be available.

Each of the new IMIs will have independent directors with the board of governors having a number of common members including the Chairman, Mr. Sanjiv Goenka. In terms of governance, these schools will be independent b-schools.

Its web page is http://www.imibh.edu.in. Following are some excerpts from its "About Us" page.

Nestled in Qutab Institutional Area, International Management Institute (IMI), New Delhi was established in 1981 in collaboration with IMI Geneva (now IMD, Lausanne). IMI is India’s first corporate sponsored Business School with sponsorship from corporate houses like RPG Enterprises, Nestle, ITC, SAIL, Tata Chemicals, BOC and Williamson Magor etc. Over a period of time in the last 28 years the Institute has acquired a truly global status. The Institute received UNDP assistance for promoting internationally oriented management education. Besides this it has also various other international linkages with bodies like World Bank, UNDP, ILO, UNCTAD, Asian Productivity Organization etc. To provide a global perspective to the students, the Institute’s flagship two year Post Graduate Programme in Management has a student exchange programme with various European Schools such as ESC Rennes, France, MIP School of Management France, Graz University Austria, IESEG School of Management and IDRAC Lyon, France etc.

 … IMI follows international standard curricula in its programs, which has been enriched by its academic collaborations with International Institute for Management Development (IIMD), Lausane (erstwhile International Management Institute, Geneva); Faculty of Management, McGill University, Montreal, and Manchester Business School, U.K, which prepares participants to successfully manage and lead in an increasingly global business environment. IMI’s educational programs have been recognized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Ministry of Human Resource Development, Govt. of India.

… IMI is registered under section 12A(a) as a trust under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The income of the Institute is exempted under section 80G and 10(22) and for research under section 35(I) (iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 as an Institution solely for educational purposes.

In keeping with the ideology, IMI Bhubaneswar has applied for AICTE approval to start Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) – A two year full-time programme approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and has been recognized by the Association of India Universities (AIU) as equivalent to MBA

In addition, the institute offers a full range of custom-made in-company programs, and Management Development Programs (MDPs), all geared to enrich creativity and ability to manage in a dynamic global environment.

The Management programs are being designed to enable a selective number of young professionals who have been judged to have high potential, to reach responsible positions in industry. The programs at IMI foster integrative capabilities with cross-functional program modules that synthesize a number of specialized disciplines into unified learning experience.

 Recruitment drive is on to secure a highly committed team of internationally qualified and experienced faculty for IMI Bhubneswar Campus.
