About Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur

IIM Sirmaur, or the Indian Institute of Management Sirmaur, is one of the newest and most prestigious Indian Institutes of Management. It opened in 2015 in Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh. As an institution of national importance, IIM Sirmaur has quickly made a name for itself in the field of management education. Its main areas of focus are research, teaching, training, and consulting, with a focus on cross-cultural and global issues, analytical skills, and finding a balance between business needs and social concerns.

The IIM Sirmaur temporary campus is at the Himachal Institute of Technology in Paonta Sahib, an industrial town with good transportation links. For its main site, the school bought 200 acres of land in Dhaula Kuan. Building will begin there in August 2020. This new campus should make the school's facilities and learning setting a lot better.

Because of the IIM Act, IIM Sirmaur now gives a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree instead of the Post Graduate Programme in Management. The Common Admission Test (CAT) is used every year to choose students for this two-year, full-time residential course. There is an MBA programme at the school, as well as specialisations in Tourism and Hospitality Management and a Ph.D. programme for people who want to work in academia or study. Those who want to take these classes must pass a national or state-level entrance test, like the CAT, GMAT, GATE, GRE, or UGC-JRF.

The school gives its students a lot of services, such as different dorms, sports facilities, and IT support. There are 12 teachers and 158 students, with 75% male and 25% female. An impressive 99% of the students come from outside the state, showing that the school has a wide and national reach.

IIM Sirmaur has been working with both business and education on a number of projects and events. The "Experts Talk" event, for example, was about important topics like the India Semiconductor Mission and the Techade Vision. This showed that the school was committed to both current and future social and technical trends.

Placement records from IIM Sirmaur say a lot about how good the school is and how much business trusts its grads. There were over 125 businesses that hired from the MBA class of 2020–2022, and the best offer was Rs. 34 LPA, with an average deal of Rs. 11.82 LPA.
