IIM Amritsar

Established in 2015, Indian Institute of Management Amritsar is one of the fastest-growing IIMs. The
institute has been increasing its batch strength every year. The increase in the batch size by seven
times from its inception year shows the immense confidence and potential of the institute's growth.
Thriving on its diversity front, IIM Amritsar is home to students from twenty-four states of the
country, making it a place where collaboration holds a key perspective in the learning process.

IIM Amritsar, at present, offers Master of Business Administration, Ph.D. and Certificate Programs in
Data Analytics and Advanced Data Analytics. These programs have been designed to provide world-
class management education to meet the requirements of enterprises across sectors by producing
highly insightful management professionals. The institute is committed to impart strong educational
foundations and values in the hearts, thoughts, and actions of future managers. Owing to its
indefatigable allegiance to providing exemplary education, IIM Amritsar has established itself as the
vanguard of quality education and learning in a short time.

IIM Amritsar will be having the inception of a full-time two-year non-residential Executive MBA
program (EMBA 2021- 23) from the year 2021. The program intends to prepare working executives to
advance their careers and help them transition to leadership roles. It allows executives to understand
the shifting business landscape and to chart out a new career path according to the current industry
needs. The program is equally fruitful for entrepreneurs to future proof their business.

Besides getting to learn from qualified faculties and industry leaders, the students here learn by
involving themselves in various club and committee activities. The tireless efforts of our students have
resulted in them winning many corporate and B-school competitions and ultimately bagging promising
career opportunities. In a true sense, IIM Amritsar is a playground for dreams to nurture, personalities
to flourish, and careers to change the world. Each year the institute strives to engage with the corporate
world to give the budding managers a glimpse of the nature of tasks they are about to undertake. This
engagement takes the form of workshops, conclaves, and guest lectures. The institute conducts three
conclaves each year, focusing on emerging topics in the domains of HR, Finance, Marketing, Strategy,
and Operations.
