EXPANDING HORIZONS

FROM COURSES FOR THE ARMED FORCES TO TEACHING FISCAL PRUDENCE TO ZILLA PARISHAD MEMBERS, INDIA'S FIRST IIM TAKES MANAGEMENT EDUCATION BEYOND BUSINESS WHILE REMAINING TRUE TO ITS CORE

The feathers in its cap only keep growing. The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, one of the oldest IIMs in the country, found a place in the top business schools in Asia-alongside its counterparts in Ahmedabad and Bengaluru-in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2024. And that is only its latest achievement. India's first IIM is also the first among the only three triple-accredited (Triple Crown) Indian business schools. A Triple Crown business school is one that has received accreditation from the Association of MBAS (AMBA), Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) and EQUIS, which work as a quality benchmark for the institution. The AMBA accreditation is awarded to only 3 per cent of B-schools of the world.
