IFMR Sri City campus to soon become University
by DebriN Synergy Business Simulation ServicesThe
Institute for Financial Management and Research (IFMR), is to become a
full-fledged University soon. IFMR Chennai, now in Sri City, which has been a
preferred destination for students aspiring for cutting edge management
education, received letter of intent from the Andhra Pradesh State government
for a Private University.
Known for its policy-oriented research work in development economics
and finance,IFMR has successfully created a niche in the management
education and is consistently ranked among the top B Schools of the country
including CRISIL ratings.
After operating from its Chennai campus for the past four and
half decades, IFMR relocated to its new sprawling 40 acre campus in Sri
City near Chennai, situated in a global manufacturing hub comprising some of
the world’s leading companies.
“We shall remain focused on our flagship full-time PGDM program
– which over the last few years is shaping into truly all round B’ School with
increasing number of students specializing in
Marketing, HR, Information Systems and
Operations. Last year we introduced two new specializations BFSI &
Data Science (Business Analytics), and I am very happy that both have been very
well received by Corporates as evidenced in our placements this year. Over the
years, we are known to have a rigorous Ph.D. program and our recent alumni are
joining IIMs and IITs as faculty members. With University status we shall
gradually introduce courses like B.B.A, MA (Development Studies) and MA
(Economics) from the academic year 2017-18. Admissions for the new courses will
open shortly,” said, Prof. Dr. P. K.
Biswas, Director at IFMR.
“Placements at IFMR have been getting better year on year. Our
average salary went up from Rs 8 lakh in the 14th batch (graduated in 2015) to
Rs 8.5 Lakh in the 15th batch (graduated in 2016). Correspondingly the highest
salary went up from Rs 12.5 Lakh to Rs 14.5 Lakh (including variable pay). Over
3/4th of the 16th batch has already been placed and this year’s numbers are
even more impressive. Apart from our world class faculty, and fully wi-fi
campus, with every possible sports facility, it is our placements that continue
to attract high quality applicants to our PGDM program, said Prof. Suresh Venkatraman, Chairperson
Admissions, IFMR.
