3As of the All-inclusive Development @IMI Kolkata

International Management Institute, Kolkata is a distinguished member of the IMI family and happens to be India’s first corporate sponsored B-school in India. After IMI Delhi was established in 1981, the IMI Kolkata chapter began in 2010. A reasonably young institute, IMI Kolkata has done well for itself in the last decade in terms of rankings and accreditations.

It offers a two-year full-time AICTE approved Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) course, which is equivalent to MBA as per Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and accredited by National Board of Accreditation (NBA). As per the latest NIRF 2019 rankings, IMI Kolkata has ranked as the 45th best B-school in India. Apart from laying a strong academic foundation for its students with an industry-oriented curriculum, IMI Kolkata provides holistic development for its students.

    The students are then tested on written and communication skills via a writing ability test and a personal interview. The WAT tests the students on their articulation and technical competency. The PI tests the students on their inclination towards management education.
