IILM Institute

What IILM Institute does

IILM Institute (Institute for Integrated Learning in Management) is a multi-disciplinary private university system established in 1993 under the Ram Krishan & Sons Charitable Trust, operating three main campuses in Delhi-NCR (Gurugram, Greater Noida, Lodhi Road) plus two Academy of Higher Learning campuses in Jaipur and Lucknow. The institution serves approximately 12,000 current students and 16,000+ alumni through five schools: Management, Computer Science & Engineering, Engineering, Law, and Social Sciences & Liberal Arts, offering degree programmes from undergraduate to doctoral level. Its core differentiator is a mandatory AI-integrated curriculum that requires every graduating student to complete an AI project, supported by co-designed programmes with IBM (Data Science), Microsoft, Apple via SKLZ TECT, KPMG, HCL, and L&T, and research infrastructure including the NEC Intel Supercomputer Lab.

The institution generates revenue primarily through annual tuition fees charged per year of study (₹1.2L to ₹4.5L per year across programmes), multi-year MBA/PGDM contracts (₹12.4L–₹12.9L total for 2 years), and ancillary fees such as hostel (₹2L/year). A secondary revenue stream comes from short-term executive education programmes (Advanced Certificate in AI, Trade and Tariff, Nextgen Entrepreneurs) for working professionals. Distribution is conducted through direct campus admissions supported by an online application portal, scholarship-driven demand generation (10-100% fee waivers based on entrance scores), and a dedicated Career Management Centre / Career Development Centre that maintains relationships with 500+ recruiting companies. The 100% placement rate and average package of ₹8–8.60 LPA, with highest packages reaching ₹26 LPA at Lodhi Road, are central to the demand-generation narrative.

The operating structure is wholly owned by the charitable trust with no external equity holders. Governance is anchored by NAAC, UGC, AICTE, BCI, and ISO 9001 accreditations, and is supplemented by dedicated Centres of Excellence for Entrepreneurship Development, Emotional Intelligence, Teaching Research & Learning, and Technology. Ranked #48 by Business Today (2024) and #42 in MBA category by India Today (2024), the institution targets India-based undergraduate and postgraduate students seeking industry-aligned, AI-fluent degrees with placement support.
