Test The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Udaipur is a young and dynamic IIM redefining management education in India and beyond. Since its establishment in 2011, IIM Udaipur has rapidly emerged as a premier management institute, blending academic excellence with global standards and an unwavering commitment to shaping students into responsible, impactful leaders.
Student transformation is one of the key focuses of IIMU’s Vision 2030. Our portfolio of MBA programs, including the two-year MBA, one-year MBAs in Digital Enterprise Management and Global Supply Chain Management, and the Executive MBA, is meticulously designed to cater to diverse aspirations while nurturing leadership, innovation, and critical thinking. In addition, our PhD programs, both Regular and Executive, serve as a crucible for rigorous academic research, enabling scholars to contribute meaningfully to the global body of knowledge.
As one of the youngest yet high-achieving IIMs, IIM Udaipur has carved out a distinctive identity through a strong academic ecosystem, cutting-edge research, dedicated faculty, and a student-centric approach. We are delighted to be accredited by AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), placing us among a select group of B-Schools worldwide that meet the highest standards of quality and impact. Our ongoing presence in international rankings, including the FT MIM Ranking and QS MIM World University Ranking, and consistent performance in the NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) is a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence and our focus on the global and local relevance of education.
We rejoice in our students' consistent academic and professional achievements. Our rigorous curriculum, experiential learning-based pedagogy, and strong industry engagement have contributed to stellar placement outcomes year after year. This success reflects the dedication of our students and the unwavering support from our faculty and corporate partners.
Our alums, though young in their journey, are already making distinguishable marks across sectors and geographies — a reflection of the transformational experience that defines IIM Udaipur. They continue to strengthen our global footprint and serve as ambassadors of the values and vision we uphold.
As Dean (Programs), I take immense pride in the institute’s evolution and forward-looking academic architecture. As we continue to evolve our programs in response to a rapidly changing world, we remain anchored in our core belief that education at IIM Udaipur is not just about what you learn but also who ‘U’ become.
