IIM Calcutta is one of the top 3 business schools in India. It was established in 1961 in collaboration with the Sloan School of Management (MIT), the Ford Foundation, the Government of West Bengal, together with ample support and cooperation from the Indian business fraternity. Today, IIM Calcutta is a veritable melting pot of excellence - both its students and faculty are among the best in the world. The IIMC campus is spread across 135 acres of Joka, a suburb in the southern part of Kolkata. It boasts of scenic locales, seven lakes, and even a miniature Howrah Bridge. Our picturesque campus also doubles up as a sanctuary to an incredible number of exotic and rare species of birds. The campus also houses facilities like four fully-equipped air-conditioned lecture halls coupled with small comfortably furnished classrooms, in the existing academic blocks. A brand new academic block equipped with world-class facilities and teaching aids also awaits your arrival. A unique feature of IIM Calcutta that sets it apart from most campuses around the world is the Management Centre for Human Values (MCHV). Setup in 1992, MCHV strives to uphold contemporary adaptations from the perennial corpus of Indian psycho-philosophical wisdom. IIMC has the largest management library in Asia. Through it, students can gain access to over 140,000 reference works and 1500 periodicals, and a remote access to the entire electronic collection through our campus-wide LAN network, which is constantly upgraded to ensure that the students can stay connected to the world through the internet.
