More and more girls desire to take admission to the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Sambalpur for its excellent academic performance and reputation. “Out of the total 95 students taken admission till today, 50 are girls and this is an encouraging number and a matter of credit for this institution,” said Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director of IIM-S during the commencement of the fifth batch.
Besides excellent placement, proper communication and the growing reputation of the institution are added attractions for girl students to opt for this institution.
The IIM-s decision to give relaxation to girl students in the cut-off mark for admission is another reason behind the preference.
While the cut-off mark for the male students for admission into the IIM-S is 95%, it is 90% for girl students. The IIM-S has also started the Ph.D. program from this academic session.
Sambalpur B-School, where classes began in 2015, is now functioning from the campus of Sambalpur University in Burla. The permanent campus of the institution is coming up at Basantpur area on the outskirts of Sambalpur city.
Two hundred acres of land has already been handed over to the institution. Rs Four hundred crore rupees have been sanctioned for the construction of the permanent campus.
