About Us

The Committee of Academic Affairs and Development (ACAD) is a vital organ of the Indian Institute of Management Udaipur. It provides an interface between the student community, the faculty, and the institute’s management in order to address any academic issues that the students face. The Committee’s main objective is to ensure a healthy academic atmosphere and enhance the learning experience for the students. It monitors the students’ academic experience and makes recommendations pertaining to the PGP and PGPX to the Program Office. It constantly looks at the latest changes that are coming up in the field of management and provides recommendations to the Program Office on reflecting these changes in the curriculum to make students academically ready to meet industry demands. It is driven to add value to the students’ overall academic growth.

ACAD plays an important role in guiding the students in selecting their electives.
