The Indian Institute of Management Udaipur (IIM-U) has become the youngest management institute in India to make it to the global ranking list 2020.
The institute, which was set up just about seven years back, has been ranked in 101+ category in the recently released QS 2020 Masters in Management (MIM) rankings.
Until 2019 only three Indian IIMs were part of the QS MIM rankings – IIM Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Bangalore. IIM Udaipur’s flagship two-year MBA program is now in the 101+ category among the global 129 programs from 28 countries.
“It is a matter of pride for IIM Udaipur’s program to receive this global recognition. It is an endorsement of our accomplished faculty, our talented students and exceptional alumni. We look forward to continuing to grow and build on our solid relationship with partners in all sectors of Indian industry,” said Director of IIM Udaipur Janat Shah.
The programme provides a foundation in management theory and practice. Students receive a thorough grounding in the key management disciplines with an emphasis on applying their knowledge ethically and responsibly.
The QS MIM rankings evaluate schools on employability, alumni outcomes, value for money, thought leadership and class & faculty diversity.
“Being in the top 129 programs in the world is an important milestone for a young institute like IIM Udaipur and confirms that it’s on its way to attaining the long-term objective of becoming a globally recognized management institute,” Chairman of IIM Udaipur Pankaj Patel said.
“Last year, IIM Udaipur became the youngest Indian Institute to receive the AACSB accreditation (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) and joined the elite group of 5 per cent of World’s B-schools. These achievements are a testimony to IIM Udaipur’s approach and practice which are comparable to best management institutions in the world,” he further added.
