Ghaziabad B-School to open campus in city


HYDERABAD: A leading private Bschool will soon open a state-of-theart campus on a 30-acre site near the Shamshabad international airport.The B-school,Institute of Management Technology (Ghaziabad),was allocated land in line with the state governments initiative to encourage private educational institutions willing to set up world class campus facilities in the city.

In 2008,the Birla Institute of Technology and Science,Pilani,had also responded to the states call by establishing in Hyderabad their only other campus in the country.

The B-school campus would come up on government land in Survey No.38,situated at Cherlaguda village of Shamshabad mandal,in Ranga Reddy district.

This campus would be the Bschools third exclusive and largest in the country,while the other two are in Ghaziabad and Nagpur.The Institute of Management Technology also runs an overseas campus at the Dubai Academic City,where it offers a two-year premium MBA programme.

State government officials feel that part-time and full-time management programmes at the IMT Hyderabad campus would immensely benefit local students,as it is among the top ten private Bschools in the country.

IMT has been in existence for 30 years and is widely recognised as a centre of excellence in management education.All IMT campuses are equipped with world class infrastructure and residential facilities,sources said.

Union cabinet minister of road transport and highways Kamal Nath is the president of IMTs board of governors.

Surprisingly,the state government set aside the advise of the then special chief secretary and chief commissioner of land administration,Hyderabad who recommended for alienation of the land on payment of market value at the rate of Rs 50 lakh per acre and allotted the land at Rs 1.5 lakh per acre.
