Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM Bangalore or IIMB) is a public business school and Institute of National Importance located in Bangalore, India. Founded in 1973, it was the third IIM to be established, after IIM Calcutta and IIM Ahmedabad.[5]

The institute offers Post Graduate, Doctoral, Executive Education and Certificate Programmes. The MBA programme is the flagship programme of the BSchool and is offered in three modes - one year full-time, two year full-time and two year executive (weekend).

The Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), is the traditional flagship two-year full-time residential MBA programme, for candidates with 0–4 years experience and admitted through the Common Admission Test (CAT).[6] IIM Bangalore offers a flagship one-year full-time residential MBA programme - the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP), modeled on global MBA pedagogy, for candidates with higher experience and admitted through Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT),[7]

IIMB also offers two-year part-time executive MBA programme for working executives,[8] a one-year full-time programme - Master of Management Studies in Public Policy and a two-year full-time MBA programme in Business Analytics, apart from the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The Certificate Programmes include the N. S. Ramaswamy Pre-doctoral Fellowship (NSR Pre-doc), which is a one-year full-time apprenticeship programme and the Mahatma Gandhi National Fellowship (MGNF), a two-year academic programme. IIMB has also launched an undergraduate programme on ‘Digital Business and Entrepreneurship’. The programme will be delivered in online mode from September 2024.

History[edit]

In 1972, a committee headed by Ravi J. Matthai, founding director of IIM Ahmedabad and IRMA, noting the rising demand for graduates of the first two prestigious IIMs namely IIM Calcutta and IIM Ahmedabad, recommended the need to have two more IIMs. The Institute at Bangalore was set up to cater exclusively to the needs of public sector enterprises.[9] For the proposed institute, the Government of Karnataka offered 100 acres (40 ha) of land free of cost and a contribution of ₹3 million (US$36,000). T. A. Pai and N. S. Ramaswamy were appointed as chairman and Director respectively. The institute was inaugurated by Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, on 28 October 1973. The institute was started in St. Joseph's College of Commerce, and some other buildings, which were rented on the Langford Road. The new institute came up at the Bannerghatta Road campus in South Bangalore in 1983.[10]

The two-year Post Graduate Programme commenced in July 1974 and the first convocation of the institute was held on 10 July 1976 with a total of 48 graduating students.[11] On August 27, 1998, the Post Graduate Programme in Software Enterprise Management was launched with an intake 58 students. The institute's start-up incubation centre, N S Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) came into existence in March 2002.

Motto[edit]

The motto derived from Sanskrit तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु (pronounced as tejasvi nāvadhītamastu) is an extract from the Shanti Mantra recited in Taittiriya Upanishad, Katha Upanishad, Mandukya Upanishad and Shvetashvatara Upanishad. The motto translates to 'Let our study be enlightening'.[12]

The current IIMB logo depicting the sun, was designed by the National Institute of Design and has been in use since 1994.[13]

Corporate placement and campus drive[edit]

IIM Bangalore provides a wide network of corporate placement opportunities for its students. In December 2021, it collaborated internationally for exploring students' dynamics for an international experience. Companies which participated in IIM Bangalore placements 2022 include Accenture Strategy, The Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, AWS Consulting, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, McKinsey & Company, Kearney, Amazon Future Builders' Program, Tata Consultancy Services, Navi Technologies, Kotak Mahindra Bank, PwC India and Alvarez & Marsal.

Campus[edit]

Main entrance to IIM Bangalore

The IIMB campus, occupying an area of over 100 acres, is located on Bannerghatta Road in the southern part of Bangalore. It is accessible by public transport from anywhere in the city. The Namma Metro's Pink Line, currently under construction as of June 2022, will have a halt at IIMB. IIMB is in the process of setting up its second campus near Jigani, in the city's periphery, in Anekal Taluka.[14]

Architecture[edit]

IIM Bangalore was designed by Pritzker prize winning architect B. V. Doshi. Mr Doshi, also a Padma Bhushan awardee, had previously assisted Louis Kahn on the design of IIM Ahmedabad and then designed the renowned school of architecture at Ahmadabad (later renamed as CEPT). He was hence commissioned to design IIM Bangalore. The architecture of IIM Bangalore is inspired by the historic city of Fatehpur Sikri near Agra, and the Madurai temples in Tamil Nadu. The 54,000 sq mt IIMB complex, is built in granite stone, giving the campus a unique character. The conceptualisation of the campus began in 1973 and it was completed in 1983.[15] Over the years, the once barren campus has become a green oasis with rich and diverse flora and fauna. The campus has been awarded for its sustainability practices.[16]

Academic Blocks[edit]

The academic blocks were designed by Stein, Doshi & Bhalla architects led by B. V. Doshi and were completed by 1983. A few blocks were added later owing to the increase in the number of students being enrolled. The classes, faculty offices and other administrative entities are spread over the various blocks.

Library[edit]

The library extends membership-based services to individuals, organizations, corporations and academic institutions.[17] Alumni are encouraged to use the library facilities at a very nominal subscription charge.

Student Housing and Sports Centre[edit]

Sports Centre

IIMB provides accommodation facilities to all the full-time long duration programmes. IIMB campus housing consists of 16 hostel blocks apart from one executive block and the executive accommodation at the Management Development Centre. The hostel consists of 16 blocks named from A to P. IIMB has separate facilities for soccer, cricket, tennis, basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis and pool. IIMB has a sports centre with courts for badminton and tennis, a gym and a swimming pool.[18]

Computer Centre[edit]

The institute has 24-hour internet connectivity with 600+ PCs and workstations. The campus is also fully WiFi enabled.[19]

Startup Hub Incubation Centre for entrepreneurs - NSRCEL[edit]

Nadathur S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL)

The 'Nadathur Sarangapani Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning', renamed NSRCEL, was set up in 2002 to aid the entrepreneurial activities at IIMB. The centre acts as an incubator for new business ideas where anyone can apply for incubation.[20] As of April 2020, NSRCEL has incubated more than 240 start-ups with a combined value of $1.5 billion and created more than 5400 jobs. Students studying at IIMB are encouraged to leverage.[21]

Academics[edit]

Entrance to the Main Block at IIMB

Academic programmes[edit]

IIMB has degree granting and certificate programmes. Prior to 2018, IIM Bangalore awarded diplomas instead of degrees because the IIMs were not set up as universities through an Act of Parliament but as societies under the Societies Act.[22] The Indian Institutes of Management Act, 2017 enacted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in December 2017 declared IIMs as Institutes of National Importance, thereby allowing IIMs to award degrees to their students instead of diplomas.[22] Consequently, in 2018, IIM Bangalore became the first IIM to award MBA degree to the graduates of the Post Graduate Programme and later to the executive post graduate programme – the full-time MBA programmes of the BSchool.[22]

IIM Bangalore offers six degree-granting programmes: a full-time doctoral programme (FPM), three full-time MBA programmes (EPGP, PGP, PGPBA), an executive MBA programme (PGPEM), and a full-time programme in Public Policy (PGPPM).

Journal : IIMB Management Review (IMR)[edit]

IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by Indian Institute of Management Bangalore.[23] IIM Bangalore received EQUIS Accreditation for five years.[24] EQUIS accreditation is the most comprehensive institutional accreditation system for business and management schools.[25]
