A Melting Pot of Cultures

They say an MBA is a life-changing experience. Much of the time spent in a b-school campus is about understanding yourself better, meeting new students, interacting with bright and intellectual minds, and exchange of ideas. You discover a new ‘you’ and prepare yourself for your life ahead.

Goa Institute of Management, nestled in the lap of nature, is b-school par excellence. The campus is located in Sanquelim, Goa, and spreads over 50 acres. The city attracts students from all corners of India and walks of life. It leaves no stone unturned in nurturing leaders for sustainable business and inclusive society for India.
