Rajasthan is the state of royals and within Rajasthan is the magnificent city of Udaipur. Udaipur is a magical marble and stone mosaic and in this mosaic, the IIM Udaipur campus fits perfectly.
Built in the city of palaces and lakes - Udaipur, the IIMU campus is such that it represents the grandeur of the city. And nothing spells lavish like a 300 plus acre campus in Balicha having palace-like buildings made of stone. The pink and grey stone buildings surrounded by the beautiful landscape truly give the feel of Rajasthan. The campus looks like a fort encompassed by fort walls and gates. It makes you feel like you are a royal visiting the great palace of IIM Udaipur. The rustic, old world feel is emphasized by the purple-brown hills on all sides of the campus. The hills and the freshness of the breeze, they make you feel alive.
I’m sure after describing this lovely imagery anyone would be excited to visit the campus. I sure was. But it is not just the beauty of the campus that makes it unique. IIM Udaipur is the quintessential eco-friendly campus. It has been designed to minimize energy consumption and become self-sufficient in terms of water, energy and waste management. The entire campus has been designed for a Green Rating for Integrated Assessment (GRIHA) LD 5 star rating. The campus has been planned to be a zero-waste facility, where waste will be an important resource utilizing DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems), vermicomposting and biogas production. We believe in a green campus and strive to achieve that goal. Tree plantation drives have struck root which will drastically increase the greenery in the campus.
Apart from that basic facility that an MBA campus must have are present. A few of them are listed below:
- Huge classrooms accommodating 77 and 40 people
- The Auditorium where all the great events take place
- The huge academic block with its Udaipur influenced architecture
- The greatest source of knowledge- the library
- Bloomberg terminals for data collection
- Sports ground
- Indoor sports room
- Gymnasium for fitness buffs
- Music room
And of course, a campus is just a barren land without its amazing people. And IIMU has the best of people from all over the country and the world.
