Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore is the third IIM that was established in 1973 by the Government of India after IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta. The Institute has since then built on its base of highly accomplished faculty, world class infrastructure and motivated student body to emerge as one of the premier institutes for management education and research promoting managerial excellence in the country. A feature that sets IIMB apart from other B-schools is the carefully selected mix of students with diversity so that students can leverage from each other's experience in addition to theoretical studies in the classroom, thereby creating a truly enriching learning experience.

The faculty members at IIM Bangalore represent one of the institution's most significant strengths, greatly enhancing its standing as a premier management school globally. Their pedagogical approach transcends traditional textbooks, emphasizing case studies, research-oriented discussions, and practical applications that equip students for leadership positions in ever-evolving business landscapes.

On the basis of infrastructure and facilities, it is in the line with the best colleges

On the basis of infrastructure and facilities, it is in the line with the best colleges. But the kind of recruiters coming for the campus round of selections has to be improved a lot. Also, they should not intake too many students, as the placement cell is not yet well equipped.
