[edit] History
In 1972, a committee headed by Prof Ravi Mathai, seeing the rising demand for graduates of the first two IIMs namely IIM Calcutta and IIM Ahmedabad, recommended the need to have two more IIMs. It was, therefore, felt that the institute to be set up in Bangalore should be developed in such a manner as to prepare competent persons for fulfilling the needs of the public sector. The institutions that were kept in mind were bodies like electricity boards, water supply boards and HMT, ITI, BEML, road transport, corporations, municipal corporations, and the like. The Institute at Bangalore was consequently set up that year, designed to cater exclusively to the needs of Public Sector enterprises.[4] For the proposed Bangalore institute, the Government of Karnataka offered 100 acres of land free of cost and a contribution to the corpus of Rs. 30 lakhs. Mr T A Pai agreed to be the first chairman. N S Ramaswamy, who was then director of National Institute of Industrial Engineering, was appointed the first director. Considerable preliminary work was done, and the new institute was inaugurated by Mrs. 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.
[edit] Campus
The current campus located at Bannerghatta road in Bengaluru was designed by architect B V Doshi and was completed in 1983.[5]
[edit] Academics
The long-duration post-graduate programmes of the Institute comprises of:
- Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP): the flagship Two-year, full-time MBA programme
- Post Graduate Programme in Software Enterprise Management (PGSEM)
- Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM): specific programs in public policy
- Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP):One-year, full-time Executive MBA programme
- Fellow Programme in Management (FPM): Doctoral programme.[6]
Like other IIMs, IIM Bangalore awards diplomas and not degrees.[7]
Further, the Executive Education Programme (EEP) caters to a wide variety of organizations in government, the public and private sectors and non-governmental organizations, with open and customized programmes ranging from two days to one year. The International Masters Program in Practising Management (IMPM), an international collaborative executive education program jointly offered by IIMB with INSEAD, McGill University, Lancaster University and a consortium of Japanese universities is globally recognised as a major innovation in executive education. The N.S. Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (NSRCEL) at IIMB also offers courses for entrepreneurs and owners of family businesses.[8]
The first step in admission to the PGP is through the Common Admission Test (CAT). This is followed by an interview and group discussions.[9]
