As the new feathers in IMI's cap - IMI Bhubaneswar and IMI Kolkata will be offering PGDM programs based on Industry-oriented curriculum. Both IMI-B and IMI-K have completed recruitment of the first batch of faculty members. Both IMI Kolkata & IMI Bhubaneswar campuses are ready. And if all goes well the IMI authorities expect to be in a position to run regular PGDM programme from July 2011 after formal approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), which is expected in May 2011.

IMI Kolkata, located in Alipore, a posh locality in the city, which is the largest metropolis of eastern India, plans to collaborate with top business schools of the world. It has already entered into an arrangement with the Oxford Institute of Retail Management (OXIRM), which is a part of the Said Business School, Oxford University, for joint research in the sphere of retail management.
