Classes for the academic session 2016-17 for the first PGP 2016-18 batch of IIM Jammu are proposed to commence on August 1, 2016 at the sprawling Noida campus of IIM Lucknow which is mentoring IIM Jammu. Post the preparatory classes at IIM Lucknow, the regular classes of IIM Jammu will continue at its temporary campus earmarked at Old University campus in Jammu with effect from September 5, 2016. IIM Jammu has announced a proposed intake of 45 students for the first PGP 2016-18 batch.

According to Dr Ajit Prasad Director of mentoring IIM Lucknow “The classes for IIM Jammu are proposed to begin on August 1, 2016 at the Noida campus of IIM Lucknow. After 3 weeks of classes at IIM Lucknow campus the students will be asked to report to IIM Jammu Old University Campus before Sep 5 as the classes at Jammu will commence by this date.”

Responding further as to why the classes of IIM Jammu are not to directly begin at Jammu, Dr Prasad shared “This will add value to the PGP academic session at IIM Jammu which despite finalization of admissions by the last week of July 2016 will begin on time and even ahead of many New IIMs.”

It will offer good chance to the IIM Jammu aspirants as they will have dual opportunity to interact with the renowned faculty of IIM Lucknow during first 3 weeks at its sprawling Noida campus and have a glimpse of pedagogic approach at a top IIM  before moving to Jammu in the state of Jammu & Kashmir by September 5.

The classes at Old University campus of IIM Jammu will also be conducted by the faculty of IIM Lucknow with overall design and delivery of the PGP course coming from IIM Lucknow.

Last date for admission: June 30
