30 per cent of girl students in IIM-K 2010-12 batch
KOCHI: Aiming to create Global and Indian women business leaders, Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIM-K), would be taking in at least 100 girl students this academic year the higest ever in the history of the elite institutions.
'This is the higest intake of girl students by any IIMs. Fifty years ago, this was not possible. Twentyfive per cent of girls take CAT exams and finally only 10 per cent make it to IIMs'. Prof Debashis Chatterjee, IIM-K Director, told reporters here.
There were 300 plus students now at IIM-K in the two year flagship post graduate MBA programme of which 30 per cent would be girls, he said.
IIM-K was also planning to take its distance learning programme to Mauritius, Singapore and Middle East, he said.
IIM-K would partner with Kerala government to create leaders in education, tourism and health, he said.
The business school also proposes to conduct a year long programme for executives at Kochi, besides plans to organise three day 'Leadership clinic' for CEOs. A similar programme was being conducted at Mumbai for 50 CEOs. 'Our commitment is to build managerial talent. Our programmes would be offered on a national scale', he said adding this was the top end leadership and management programme to help the industry.
He said there were no plans to build a satellite campus, but a programme being offered at a different venue.
IIM-K is also planning to get international accreditation from AMBA of United Kingdom.
