“Knowledge is endless” – a motto which instils the unending desire to learn. A motto which resonates in every member of a unique family that calls IIM Trichy - home. Located in the temple city of Trichy, the college has imbibed the rich cultural heritage to become one of the premier management college in India. In its eighth year of existence, it has developed key components that gives the college its unique flavours.
As one enters the driveway leading to the gate, he/she gets his/her first glimpse of the state of art environmentally green campus. IIM Trichy was the first among the new IIMs to have a full-fledged functioning campus. Built on the 170 acres of land, one can see large buildings in contrast to peacocks roaming around lush green trees. Walking down the class corridor, one can see the different achievements of students and teachers in the LED televisions installed that are laurels to the campus. With images of research papers published in prestigious international conferences, winners of different business competitions held across India (L&T, CFA Research Challenge), prominent industry leaders who come as guest lectures in the college, the fun night of Sunburn music festival held in college fest and working with NGOs for “MAD” (make a difference project on to induce responsibility in society) – life at IIM Trichy is highly diverse from academic to social.
While quality education and high profile placement play their part of creating awareness, IIM Trichy also makes news due to other unique activities. It was part of Garlanding India where it played host to volunteer bike riders who ride for raising funds for social causes. It went international when it hosted the ISDI conference which saw participants from 18 countries. Very recently, the Trade Body Confederation of Indian Industry, Trichy declared to be partners with IIM Trichy to work for development of Trichy. The college is also part of the renowned global CFA Institute University Recognition Programme and has also won the second place in Global Supply Chain Management Initiative (2016-17), a global inter-university case study competition held in Purdue University, USA.
With an ambitious vision to come in the top five IIMs in the next two years and to a top class global institute in the next ten years, the college strives to be unique in all fields. In the words of Zakaria Derradji (international student) – “Overall, it is a great experience in IIM Trichy”.
