IIM Shillong to begin operations in 2008

The 7th Indian Institute of Management, IIM Shillong will begin operations from academic year 2008 – 2009. The institute will be called the Rajiv Gandhi Indian Institute of Management (RGIIM), and will be situated on a 120 acre campus. In its first year, the institute will admit 60 students. This will be increased to 120 students in its third year and 180 students in the sixth year.

Initially the institute will offer a two-year full-time program in management (PGPM). In future the institute also plans to offer short-term programs of local relevance on subjects such as tourism, horticulture and hydel power.

However, the institutes name was missing from the CAT Bulletin issued by the IIMs on July 21. The CAT Group will issue a notification about the Shillong institute shortly.
