The IIMU Story

IIM Udaipur, a second-generation IIM, is one of the fastest-growing management schools in the country. It was set up by the Indian Government in 2011. Taking the legacy of older IIMs forward, IIMU aspires to set new benchmarks in the field of management education by combining excellence in both teaching and research. At IIM Udaipur, we are committed to becoming a globally recognized management school by 2030 and we are inevitably on our way.

With an accomplished faculty, a flourishing research ecosystem and success in attracting the best minds in the country, IIMU is able to champion our core values of excellence and integrity. At IIMU, we challenge our students to expand their knowledge and their intellectual horizons so they emerge transformed and prepared to have an impact on the world of business and society at large.

Additionally, the Institute strives to make a real difference in the region, forging strong relationships with local NGOs and government and working closely with industry on live projects, internships, guest lectures, faculty research and many events throughout the academic year.

Udaipur, the capital of the former princely state of Mewar, evokes the same sense of heritage, beauty and grandeur as such timeless destinations as Venice and Prague. This cradle of culture and history is the perfect backdrop for IIM Udaipur.

If ever there was a place that lent itself as an environment for the kind of management education IIMU aspires to deliver it is Udaipur and Rajasthan. With this heritage, culture and location IIM Udaipur is truly where history meets the future.

Social Contributions

A strong sense of social responsibility informs all of IIM Udaipur's activities. We are committed to giving back to society, playing a role in local development and being in the vanguard of applying principles of ecological sustainability.

1. Rural Immersion

In the curriculum, this is reflected in the two years MBA's mandatory Rural Immersion. We believe it is essential for future managers to understand rural India. Rural Immersion starts with a course on the Indian Social and Political Environment and continues with the class divided into five-person teams which spend a week in a village where they work closely with NGOs to appreciate on-the-ground realities and challenges faced by those at the bottom of the pyramid. In their other courses, students undertake forty to fifty projects per year with companies/NGOs in the region as part of class assignments.

2. Student Consulting Projects

Students also make a strong contribution to social responsibility outside of class in their extra-curricular activities. Consult U, the consulting club, undertakes approximately six pro bono projects per year with regional non-profits including:

• Designing a marketing campaign for the Sadhana women's empowerment cooperative (produces ethnic apparel)
• Preparing a production optimization plan for Seva Mandir (Udaipur-based NGO) to aid a cooperative producing lentils.
• Creating an overall digital presence and marketing strategy for Equitable Healthcare Consortium.

3. Prayatna

Over the course of each year, approximately 50% of the students will take part in Prayatna, the social responsibility club that promotes active volunteering. Recent projects include:

• Donation Drive – Team Prayatna requested the IIM Udaipur Community to join in raising funds for the people affected by the massive flood in various districts of Kerala. They collected both cash and in-kind funds for the flood victims to revive their lives. They collected amenities like toothpaste, toothbrushes, disposable sanitary pads, antibiotics, soaps, sanitisers, etc.
• Campus Connect – provides mentorship and career guidance to high school students (~200-250) from underprivileged schools. This event is done in partnership with ICICI RSETI. Prayatna provided mentorship and career guidance to underprivileged students residing on those campuses of ICICI.
• SWAR – project to convert Hindi-language textbooks into audiobooks for ~150 blind students across the state of Rajasthan

4. Career Support

In order to encourage and support students who are considering careers in the social sector, IIMU provides various incentives:

• Stipend or the possibility of getting a rebate on their tuition fee
• Placement holiday, allowing students to use campus placement services at a later date

5. Green Campus

As an Institute that is creating future leaders, IIMU wants to provide a practical example to students of how to apply the principles of ecological sustainability. Within a span of eight years, IIMU's new campus will be self-sufficient in terms of energy, i.e. a net-zero campus. Waste will be treated on-site and converted into reusable resources. The campus will use both technologically advanced as well as traditional models of water harvesting. Read more.

6. CSR Ranking Project

IIM Udaipur is also a proud partner in the first CSR ranking project. Professor Neeti Sanan, a faculty member at IIMU, has collaborated with Namrata Rana and Utkarsh Majmudar to create the report which ranks India's top companies on the basis of their engagement with CSR. The intention is to update this research periodically to track the impact of the Companies Act 2013 in the coming years.
