Udaipur, the city of lakes or the Venice of the East, is a wonderful place and indeed a scenic beauty. The campus – a 300-acre campus built on the Aravali Range of mountains – is like a painting. The serenity and calmness, a positive atmosphere, a breathtaking view from the top of the hostels and mess, makes you fall in love with the place. Designed by one of the country’s best architectural firms, it has the growth potential which knows no bounds. The design enhances peer learning and removes any monotony that one might experience in academics. Which brings me to one of the most important values of IIMU, academic excellence. IIM Udaipur believes in preparing its students to be a leader in the corporate world, with an immense focus on education. The rigour comes directly from the Director of the Institute, who’s dedication shows in the active part he takes in the educational activities. The students of IIMU also get nothing short of the best when it comes to the teaching faculty. In addition to the 45+ visiting faculties, the institute has 41 full-time faculty members, all of whom have earned PhDs or are Fellows at top schools in India, Europe, and North America. A lack of resources will never be a hurdle for students at IIMU. The institute makes sure that students have access to every academic resource possible. In addition, they have complete access to the Bloomberg lab. Also, the library is not limited by the number of books it can store in the physical realm. Students have access to a number of databases like CRISIL, Thomson Reuters, Eikon, Capitaline and many more. The most sought-after periodicals are just a click away for the students here. Giving global exposure to its students is something IIM Udaipur is dedicated to. To that extent, initiatives taken by the Institute are Student Exchange Program (STEP) and an elective of International Business in Practice (IBP). Almost half the batch of the 2nd year of post-graduate gets to travel abroad to work with companies from countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and the UAE, and gain first-hand experience of working on internationally based projects. Students have the opportunity to spend a whole trimester in France or Germany in some of the reputed management schools which have partnered with IIM Udaipur as part of the student exchange program. About 10% of the batch gets to participate in the program. In addition to this, students also get an opportunity to be placed in summer internships in international locations.
