About IIMI
Indian Institute of Management Indore - the youngest sibling in the family of IIMs - has travelled quite a distance, since its inception ten years ago. Rubbing shoulders with some well established giants, IIM Indore has now carved a niche for itself in the corporate world and the six batches that have passed out stand testimony to the fact. The essence of management, IIMI believes, lies in managing one's own ambitions and forging ahead consciously.

"A strong theoretical foundation is the basis of good corporate practice" - this is the underlying theme of the Post Graduate Programme (PGP). Spanning two years the programme is benchmarked against the best business schools in the world. Experiential learning, IT orientation, and Social Sensitivity are the unique features of the programme. To back all this up IIM Indore boasts a solid infrastructure ranging from a 193 acre campus to a strong IT backbone to the latest of teaching aids.

It is remarkable that in such a short span of time IIM Indore has reached great heights. And this achievement can be attributed to the relationships it has developed within the Indore community, its innovative spirit and its will to excel.

Midnight cricket is one example where you can see constraints making way for fun. Floodlights come on - and here you have people playing anything from cricket to basketball till the wee hours of the morning. For the sports enthusiast, every hostel block has its own basketball and badminton court along with a common room where you can play a variety of games from table tennis to chess. The fully equipped gym is a place where you have all facilities to help you keep fit, right from advanced machines to latest music.

With a huge picturesque campus and sylvan surroundings, the campus is a great place to jog and exercise. Regular tournaments are held throughout the year, which keep the enthusiasm of participants high and give them a chance to compete among themselves. Apart from these regular tournaments, the institute has its own annual sports week; Ranbhoomi. Though you have ample opportunities to work in a team for academic purposes, this is a totally different ball game; when you face the competition in inter batch matches conducted during Ranbhoomi. Multiple prizes make the competition intense and exciting. In all a great place to bring out your sporting skills, provided you make time to bring them out!!!!!
