Over the years, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) has grown into a mature institution for imparting high-quality management education. A globally ranked institute, IIM Calcutta is continually evolving to meet its goals in an ever-changing business environment. BHARATENDU NATH SRIVASTAVA, Director, IIM Calcutta (until recently) talks to BW’s PRIYA SARAF about his institution’s USP, as well as a host of issues concerning management education. Excerpts:
Why should students choose your school?
IIM Calcutta, as an institution of global standing, has a lot to offer to its prospective students. It is one of Asia-Pacific region’s premier business school from India boasting a globally benchmarked (only IIM to have triple crown in international accreditation including AACSB, EQUIS and AMBA) and rigorous curriculum focused at developing leaders and general managers of high calibre, highly acclaimed faculty, excellent physical and academic infrastructure which adds to both living and learning experience, unique international academic collaboration such as CEMS (IIMC is the only member school from India) which gives opportunity to the students for obtaining globally acclaimed MIM degree in addition to PGDM programme. In addition, I would mention, IIM Calcutta fosters a culture which is open, welcoming, and diverse. Our past students have been founders of successful companies, leaders in public service, successful social entrepreneurs, CEOs, CFOs, and CMOs. To add further, there are several other unique features of IIMC such as IIMC Innovation Park (IIMCIP) which fosters active entrepreneurial environment, Finance Research and Trading Lab (FRTL), along with various centres of excellence on public policy, development and environment, human values. They all add up to diverse opportunities to pursue varied learning interests.
