Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam

What Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam does

Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (IIMV) is a government-owned autonomous management education institution established in 2014 as the 14th Indian Institute of Management, mentored by IIM Bangalore and operating under the IIM Act 2017 as an Institution of National Importance. It is headquartered in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, with a city campus at Andhra University and a permanent campus at Gambheeram inaugurated in February 2024. The institute delivers a portfolio of degree-granting programs — the flagship two-year residential Post Graduate Program (PGP), Executive MBA, PhD, Executive PhD, Post-Doctoral Fellowship, and specialized programs such as EPGDPM for the defence production sector and PGPMCI for CFTIs — alongside open and customized executive education programs including CTO, CFO, and CHRO tracks. Supporting infrastructure includes a dedicated Career Development Services (CDS) team for placements, the AIC IIMV FIELD business incubator, the EpiFunds student-led angel network, the IDeAL analytics research lab, the Centre for Responsible Management Education (CRME), and an OLT ERP-based academic administration platform.

The institute serves three primary segments: fresh graduates entering the PGP, working professionals and executives enrolling through EMBA, PGDMEx, and executive education channels, and doctoral scholars pursuing academic research careers. Recent strategic additions have extended reach into sector-specific verticals, notably a strategic academic collaboration with HAL Management Academy for defence sector officers (signed January 2026) and an MoU with Mahanadi Coalfields Limited for AI leadership capacity building (signed July 2026). Distribution is a hybrid of direct admissions via the national CAT entrance exam, corporate executive education partnerships, and a channel partnership with Jaro Education for executive certificates nationally.

Revenue is generated from three principal streams: degree program tuition (PGP, EMBA, PhD, etc.), customized executive education delivered to corporate clients (defence PSUs, coal PSU, and other corporates), and government funding as an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Education. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; tuition is set per program and executive education quotes are customized. The institute has 50+ faculty members, reports having nurtured 600+ students cumulatively, and has delivered 15,453+ learning hours. Marketing is conducted through the institutional website, social media, industry conferences, alumni chapters, and student-led speaker series. Internationally, IIMV maintains research collaborations with NYU Centre for Cybersecurity and University of Bath's CBOS, and is pursuing AACSB accreditation with a workshop scheduled for July 2026.
