The two year MBA programme is designed in such a way that it gives transformation experience for the students and develop them into socially and highly skilled managers.

Therefore, we look forward to continuing to grow and build on our solid relationship with partners in all sectors of the Indian industry."

Being in the top 129 programmes in the world is an important milestone for a young Institute like IIM Udaipur and confirms that IIMU is well on its way to attaining its long-term objective of becoming a globally recognised management institute. These achievements are a testimony to IIMU’s approach and practices which are comparable to the best management institutions in the world."
