IIM-Bangalore poised for a new growth phase: PG Apte, director, IIM-B
On the back of a good performance in the current academic year and many future initiatives aimed at expanding offerings for India and overseas, IIM-Bangalore (IIM-B) director Dr PG Apte is confident that IIM-B is all set to enter a new growth phase.
Delivering his address at the convocation on March 26, Dr Apte said, We are poised to enter a new phase of growth. The institute has initiated steps to make necessary amendments in the Memorandum of Association with a view to expanding and diversifying its portfolio of academic, research, training, consulting and other activities both within and outside India. This is expected to open up new and exciting opportunities in the global arena… Two sub-committees constituted by the board are giving shape to the short-term and long-term vision that will guide the institute to the next level of growth.
Dr Apte said the institute is responding to the growing demand for quality management education number and implementation of the new reservation policy by adding more seats. IIMB has planned to increase the PGP intake in a phased manner over the next three years. This has been done in view of the limitations that exist in infrastructure and faculty, he said, adding that the institute was hopeful of substantial support from the government.
