The student-driven campus of IIM Bodh Gaya is redefining management from efficiency to effectiveness…
It is a new Indian Institute of Management (IIM) functioning from one of the many building complexes of a state university. But IIM Bodh Gaya is already thinking big. Situated in the proximity of the place where Buddha attained enlightenment, the thinking is backed by an ambitious agenda. In the years to come, the sprawling 200-acre new campus coming up nearby promises to be the focus of the management practices for the future.
Launched in 2015, the IIM Bodh Gaya is accommodated on the Magadh University campus. The fourth batch, with as many as 66 students, is the newest while two batches have already passed out. “The placement for the first two batches was 100 percent,” beams Director Vinita Sahay. The new IIM has succeeded in creating a student-driven campus where the new managers of tomorrow play a significant role in running the institute.
Student-driven campus
“We are a hundred percent student-driven campus. Other than teaching, everything is managed by our students, including co-curricular activities, placements, seminars, conferences, hostels and even public relations,” says Prof. Sahay, an experienced teacher of marketing management, who has taught in several higher educational institutions in India and abroad. In September, 50 senior corporate leaders from across the country attended a Human Resources Conclave organised by students at the campus.
