All About IIM Bangalore

Introduction

After 1947, as a technology base was being created because Government of India focused on the development of indigenous science and technology, it became clear that the country needed to simultaneously augment management talent and resources. The Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore was established in 1973. The IIM–B campus is located in 100 acres of sylvan surroundings on the southern edge of Bangalore

The mainstream postgraduate programs at IIM–B are continually monitored and frequently revised to incorporate cutting edge management theories and practice. Latest technologies are employed for effective delivery and the curriculum emphasizes practice orientation. Exchange programs with leading business schools around the world expose the students to management thought and practice in different national environments and cultures.
