In just four decades IIMA has evolved from being
India’s premier management institute to a notable international
school of management.
It all started with Dr Vikram Sarabhai and a few
other public spirited industrialists realizing that agriculture,
education, health, transportation, population control, energy, and
public administration were all vital elements in a growing society
and that it was necessary to link these meaningfully with industry.
The result was the creation of the Indian Institute of Management,
Ahmedabad in 1961 as an autonomous body with the
active collaboration of the Government of India, Government of Gujarat,
and industry.
It was evident that to have a vision was not enough. Effective
governance and quality education were seen as critical aspects.
From the very start the founders introduced the concept of faculty
governance: all members of the faculty play an important role
in administering the diverse academic and non-academic activities
of the Institute. The empowerment of the faculty has been the
propelling force behind the high quality of learning experience
at IIMA. The Institute had initial collaboration with Harvard
Business School. This collaboration greatly influenced the Institute’s
approach to education. Gradually it emerged as a confluence of
the best of Eastern and Western values.
Every year, IIMA selects 30 students for the
PGP-ABM. The admission process consists of the nationally administered
Common Admission Test (CAT), candidate’s
academic record, work experience, group discussion and personal
interview.
