We are happy to announce that the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC), has been given the accredited status for the PGPEX (MBA) and PGP (MBM) programmes by the Association of MBAs (AMBA) for five years.
Association of MBAs (AMBA) was created in 1967. Their accreditation service is the global standard for all MBA, DBA and MBM programmes. They accredit programmes at over 200 business schools in more than 70 different countries. They are the only professional membership association connecting MBA students and graduates, accredited business schools and MBA employers in more than 110 countries.
Andrew Main Wilson, AMBA's Chief Executive says: "We are both pleased and proud to confirm the receipt of IIM Calcutta's AMBA accreditation. AMBA accredits just 1% of the world's MBA business schools and IIM Calcutta's initial 5-year accreditation reflects the quality of their MBA programmes, faculty and students. India is one of the world's largest business education market and IIM Calcutta is one of its very finest business schools."
IIM Calcutta now joins this club of globally reputed business schools accredited by AMBA: ESCP Europe Business School, Ashridge Business School (Hertfordshire, United Kingdom), Reims Management School (Reims, France), Mannheim Business School (Manheim, Germany), Imperial College Business School (London, United Kingdom), Leeds University Business School (London, United Kingdom), Nottingham University Business School (Nottingham, United Kingdom).
"We are indeed happy to receive this recognition. It reaffirms our commitment to academic excellence, and marks a significant step towards our journey to be regarded as a global leader in management education" says Professor Saibal Chattopadhyay, the Director of IIM Calcutta. IIMC is one of the very few institutions to have received the AMBA accreditation for five years, right at the time of accreditation.
The country's first national management institution, IIM Calcutta, has been playing a pioneering role in professionalizing Indian Management through its post graduate and doctoral level programmes, executive training programmes, research and consulting activities. Some of its notable alumni are: Ravindra Dhariwal - CEO of Bennett Coleman and Co Ltd; T. V.
