Indian Institute of Management- Ahemedabad (IIM-A) is very popular among foreign students. Every year, these premier B-schools host several foreign students in its campus. However, IIM-A is about to break its own record of hosting foreign students.
With one more term to go, the leading B-school of India has seen participation of around 67 students from foreign institutes for its flagship programmes, which is popular as postgraduate programme in management (PGP).
Faculty members are expecting that with one more term to go, total number of foreign students will cross last year’s number of 73, which was considered as highest so far (70 foreign students in exchange programme and 3 students in double degree programme).
Of the total foreign students this year, almost 63 students have come through student exchange programme. However, many have come through different academic tie-up with foreign institutes for their Double Degree Programme (2011-12).
These 67 students are from different 13 countries which include Asia-Pacific, Australia, Europe, USA and Canada. Faculty coordinator of the student exchange programme at IIM-A, Prof Arnab K Laha, believes that the institutes will welcome more foreign students this year as compared to last year. He further emphasised that they would know about the final number of the foreign students later as the last term registration will be done in October.
