Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Business school in Joka, Kolkata, India.
The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta sits in the Joka district of Kolkata and comprises several academic buildings and research centers spread across roughly 55 hectares of land. The campus combines modern teaching spaces with residential areas for students who live and study on site during their programs.
Founding took place in November 1961 with support from the MIT Sloan School of Management as the first such institution in India. The institute grew over the decades into a central address for management education and continuously expanded its range of research and teaching activities.
The name derives from Latin words expressing the spirit of seizing each day fully. Students embrace this motto during their time on campus as encouragement to develop new skills and collaborate with peers from across India.
The site lies southwest of central Kolkata in the Joka neighborhood and can be reached via major road connections. Visitors should note that this is a working academic campus where certain areas remain open only to students and staff members.
The Financial Research and Trading Laboratory gives students access to real-time market data through specialized trading equipment not available at any other Indian institution of higher learning. Here they can gain practical experience with financial instruments before working in the real economy.
