What Indian Institute of Management Kashipur does

Indian Institute of Management Kashipur (IIM Kashipur) is a Government of India-established autonomous business school founded in 2011, operating from a 200-acre fully residential campus in Kashipur, Uttarakhand. As a second-generation IIM, it delivers post-graduate management education across four flagship programmes: a two-year full-time residential MBA, a two-year MBA (Analytics), and two weekend-based Executive MBA programmes (general and analytics) operated from a secondary Dehradun campus. The institute also runs a tuition-free full-time residential Doctoral (PhD) programme with monthly fellowship support, alongside short-term Management Development Programmes (MDP) and Executive Development Programmes (EDP) including online certificate courses in AI/ML, digital marketing analytics, and supply chain analytics. Academic delivery spans eight areas (Communications, Economics, Finance and Accounting, IT & Systems, Marketing, Operations Management, OB & HRM, Strategy), supported by 11 Bloomberg terminals, a Koha-based library system holding 11,520+ printed books, and three Centres of Excellence covering public policy (COEPPG), design innovation (DIC), and entrepreneurship incubation (FIED). The institute holds AACSB Business Education Membership.

The business model is tuition-driven for degree programmes, with the 2026-28 MBA batch priced at ₹20,80,000 per student across six terms, supplemented by 10% need/merit-based tuition waivers and government scholarships. The PhD programme generates no tuition revenue but functions as a faculty pipeline and research investment. Executive education revenue derives from customized programmes for public-sector clients including LIC, ONGC, IOCL, BEL, IGNFA, NADP, NPIU, and the newly signed ICAI partnership. Admissions operate through the Common Admission Test (CAT) for domestic candidates and GMAT for international candidates, with category-specific percentile cut-offs. Distribution is primarily domestic India-centric, augmented by 15+ international student-exchange partnerships spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Marketing channels combine a centralized website, active social media presence, alumni engagement events (GEAR, City Meets, Safurnama), and student-driven campus events including TEDx and entrepreneurship summits. The institute is a nonprofit under Indian law, governed by a Board of Governors chaired (interim) by Shri Sandeep Singh, with Prof. Neeraj Dwivedi serving as Director, and reports no external private investors or venture capital ownership.
