Friends

A management institute will start working at Patna this summer.
Supported by the state govt, financially and much more crucially,
with an emotional bonding now rarely seen between politicians and
the people, it has behind it a vast body of experienced
professionals, from Bihar and other places. Apart from teaching post
graduate students, it will also have a research center for
appropriate technology focussed on powerful ideas that can change
the lives of the people.

The management institute, named Chandragupt Institute of Management,
Patna (CIMP) has a constitution that will make it highly autonomous
so that professionals running it can take it to the envisaged
heights of excellence much like the Patna Science College and
Netarhat Vidyalaya of yore. All the learnings of the past have been
put into it to make it stoutly autonomous.The first director would
be Prof V Mukundas, formerly of IIM A. A number of other faculty
members, both serving and retired, as well as professionals from the
industry, are working for it. The syllabus is largely drawn from
those of IIMs and XLRI. The admission would be through combined
admission test (CAT) of the IIMs.

Please do visit its website

Do let this be known to prospective students who can apply for
admission here: they now have an alternative in Bihar itself.

Warm regards
