The Indian Institute of Management Indore (often abbreviated as IIM-I) is an autonomous public business school located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh in India. Instituted in 1996, IIM Indore is the sixth addition to the prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIM) family of management schools.

History

IIM Indore, which came into existence in 1996, was established as the sixth Indian Institute of Management after IIM Calcutta (1961), IIM Ahmedabad (1963), IIM Bangalore (1972), IIM Lucknow (1984) and IIM Kozhikode (1996).[2] The institute was the youngest among the IIM's until 2008, when IIM Shillong was instituted.

IIM Indore started offering its flagship two-year full-time (residential) Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) at Ras al-Khaimah (UAE) in 2011. It is the first IIM to have started operations outside India. This is a crucial step with IIM Indore's Philosophy to transform itself into a truly Global B-School. In 2013, IIM Indore shifted it's Ras-Al-Khaima operations to Dubai.[3][4] However, in 2014, it shut down its operations at its UAE campus. [5]

The institute also offers its flagship two-year full-time (non-residential) Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) in Mumbai, from 2012.[6] Till date, no IIM had a presence in the financial capital of India (Mumbai).[7][8] [9]

Academics

IIM Indore offers the following academic programmes -

Options to specialise in various fields such as Finance, Operations, Marketing, Systems etc. are available and students are encouraged to choose a specialisation of their choice.

A five-year Integrated Program in Management, for students passing out from Class XII, was started in 2011.[16] The institute also offers various certificate programmes and Management Development Programmes (MDPs).[17][18]

Like all IIMs, IIM Indore awards diplomas, and not degrees.[19]

Admission

Admissions to the flagship Post Graduate Programmes in Management (PGP) at Indore, Dubai(UAE) and Mumbai, is through the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the IIMs. Non Resident Indian (NRI) candidates are also eligible to apply and should have scored a minimum GMAT score of 650 to be shortlisted for further evaluations. Admissions to the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP), a programme for executives with a minimum of 5 years work experience, is through the globally accepted GMAT. The candidates are shortlisted on the basis of their GMAT score, which on average has been 700 for the past batches, quality of work experience, extra-curricular record and future managerial potential.[20] The five-year integrated programme in management(IPM) Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) - IIM Indore, the first of its kind in India launched by IIM Indore, is a unique and creative programme to meet the aspirations of young students to become management professionals, change agents and societal leaders.

Foreign Student Exchange Program

There are over 90 student exchange seats, which means that 20% of the PGP batch can spend an academic term in a foreign university. It is the 3rd highest number of seats across all IIMs. There are over 20 schools with whom IIM Indore has an exchange programme MOU - Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, US, UK, Australia, Malaysia, Philippines. It is one of the few IIMs to have a programme in Latin America (Brazil). On an average 50 students from foreign universities spend a term at IIM Indore.[21]

The Student Exchange Programme ensures that the students are exposed to the latest trends in management across the best business schools in the world. Apart from providing a chance for students to interact and really be a part of some of the world's top universities for a term, the programme also enables the rest of the batch here to benefit from the foreign students who travel here in their place. The Student Exchange Programme Committee (see below under Student Activities) handles the logistics of the programme. The institute had its first student exchange of six students with Ecole de Management de Lyon (EM Lyon), a premier business school based in Lyon, France, in 2005.

The One Year Full Time MBA (EPGP) has a tie-up with the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin, US, where the entire batch shifts for a five-week module to get a global perspective on management.

Location and campus

Viewing IIM Indore Campus at dusk.

The institute operated out of a temporary campus in Rajendranagar in Indore till 2003, before moving to its current campus. On October 3, 1998, the foundation stone of the Indore campus was laid by Mukesh Ambani. The 193 acres (0.78 km2) campus is located at Prabandh Shikhar, on Rau-Pithampur Road, close to the Pithampur Special Economic Zone,[31] off Agra-Bombay Highway. Expansion plans include building more hostels to accommodate the growing number of post graduate and executive students, a state of the art sports complex and residential quarters for doctoral students.

Hostels

The present campus started with 4 hostels each housing 60 students. As the intake has gradually increased, today, there are 14 hostels. Rooms in all the hostels have direct computer connectivity to the main LAN that provides an 8 Mbit/s internet connectivity. For the One Year Full Time MBA (EPGP) students, a separate air conditioned hostel has been set up that offers super-luxury accommodation and can house almost 200 students – future proof for the substantial increase in intake planned. In addition to these, IIM Indore also has a Management Development Centre (MDC) which houses the MDP participants. A hostel dedicated to participants of Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) has been constructed recently. Massive constructions are under way to create living space for the students of the new started exclusive IIM Indore initiative - The IPM program. Refurbishment and renovation work also encompasses the main gate and several other buildings in the IIM campus such as staff quarters for the visiting faculty. Dedicated mess facilities and round the clock canteen facilities are available in between the hostels. Photocopy, laundry and tailor facilities are also available. The common rooms at the Hostels have a 32" LCD TV with satellite cable, in addition to the facilities for the indoor games like Table Tennis and Carom.

Currently, as part of the expansion plan, new hostel wings are being constructed along with a full-fledged cricket stadium, football stadium and a tennis court.

Eating Joints

There are several eating joints in & around the Hostels. There is the student run JAM which offers juices, shakes, maggi, corn-chat, sandwiches, etc. In 2012, a Dosa point started, which gained popularity as an alternative to the hostel mess and had almost everything on the menu from idli, dosa, wada to chapatis, pav Bhaji, Chhole Bhature and Paranthas. However, due to hygiene issues, it closed down in 2014. Samosa Corner offers Samosa, Kachodi, Poha, Jalebi, Rabri, Dhokla etc. Then there is again a student run Pi-shop which provides burgers, patty, veg rolls etc. apart from all the stuff a general store has.
