None of the other proposed 5 IIMs have been able to launch their websites till date while some of them are still contemplating the idea whether to begin the academic session in 2015 or in 2016 as even their sites have not been finalized.

 

Most of the CAT 2014 takers who have already expressed and confirmed their interest to be considered for admission at IIM Nagpur are in a buoyant mood as they have already been informed by IIM Nagpur that right from beginning even in the temporary campus the infrastructural facilities like class rooms, labs, library, accommodation, wi-fi facilities will be of world class.

 

IIM Nagpur to offer great learning: Faculty from IIM A

 

Indian Institute of  Management (IIM) Nagpur anticipating the learning and placement related queries and concerns of the prospective students of first PGP batch 2015-17 has assured the students that during the mentorship period and while IIM Nagpur's own faculty are recruited, faculty members from IIM A will be delivering courses at IIM Nagpur. This may include a few visiting faculty selected by IIM A to meet their exacting standards. The overall design, quality and delivery of PGP will be to the standards and with direct involvement of IIM Ahmeadabad. Candidates going to join IIM Nagpur should expect to see some of the best faculty members in the country today.

 

Good Placement anticipated

 

IIM Nagpur anticipates good placement opportunities for the first PGP batch 2015-17 of 60 students. IIM Nagpur shares “History is important because it allows us to assess the rigour and quality of inputs received during the 2 years of stay in PGP. While IIM Nagpur is new, since its initial operations are being handled completely by IIM A, more than 53 years of IIM A's history of excellence in management education becomes directly applicable to IIM Nagpur. In due course of time, IIM Nagpur will undoubtedly evolve its own distinct brand.” 

 

Anticipating to achieve excellence in short time, IIM Nagpur assures “ It should also be borne in mind that the first job can be greatly influenced by the brand name, subsequent career growth is strongly a function of the quality of training and learning received during the two years of PGP. IIM Nagpur would start off strong on both parameters.”

 

Next 3 years at IIM Nagpur

 

Since IIM Nagpur will continue being mentored by IIM A for about 3 years, it could be the 1st and 2nd batches of IIM Nagpur that would be benefitted most as they will have brand IIM A with them all the time.

 

The pedagogy, case study pattern, project work and all other ingredients of academics for which IIM Ahmedabad is known, will impart a better learning environment at IIM Nagpur. Students, despite studying at IIM Nagpur may expect to be groomed on the study pattern of IIM A.

 

With IIM A mentoring and shaping the future of IIM Nagpur, the work of IIM A  done in several sectors apart from business management like agriculture, social, telecom, e-governance, infrastructure, entrepreneurship and health services will sure prove to be the mile stone during the learning and placement at IIM Nagpur.

 

Sharing the USPs IIM Nagpur says “By default, people interested in application of management knowledge to any of these sectors will find IIM Nagpur's PGP a good place to be.”
