How does one get to stay in one of the most beautiful States in the country, manage to study in one of the premier B-schools, and get placed in some of the most reputed companies in the country all at the same time?
Ask those honing their business acumen from the management gurus at the centre of excellence and learning called Goa Institute of Management.

Picturesque setting

Nestled on the banks of the Mandovi River, students from across the nation come here to learn, to contribute and to lay the foundation for their future in the business world. Goa Institute of Management was founded in 1993 when Fr Romuald D'Souza (ex Director – XLRI, Jamshedpur and XIM, Bhubaneswar) moved to Goa to create this revered institute.

Surging ahead

Goa Institute of Management (GIM) since its inception 14 years back has surged forward in its endeavour of imparting quality education and giving to the industry some of its best managers. It would not be an exaggeration to state that GIM with the clarity of its mission and the concerted efforts of its faculty and students has been able to carve out a niche for itself in the ever-burgeoning list of B-Schools in India. Today, Goa Institute of Management (GIM) is one of the premier B-Schools in India consistently ranked among the top few in most surveys.

Fair culture

GIM attempts to create a culture marked by fairness, integrity and objectivity. A fair representation among its faculty and students from all places in India and from different backgrounds reinforces the inculcation of respect for the dignity and personal worth of each individual and sensitivity to the needs of each one.

By maintaining an environment of serious work, the institute helps each one reach a high degree of professional competence.

The campus is drawn together by its commitment to a set of core values and a dedication to excellence — qualities that play a key role in developing the teamwork and sound judgment that are central to their educational mission. With a 25% year over year increase in the median and a 12.5% year over year increase in the salary packages offered to GIM students last year, this institute is on fast track growth.

Today, Goa Institute of Management (GIM) is one of the premier B-Schools in India consistently ranked among the top few in most surveys.

Clubs

It is not only the faculty but also the students play a crucial role in GIM. There is an exhaustive list of student-driven clubs and  activities starting from HRIDAY – (The HR Association); MECCA – (The Marketing Club); I3 Club – (The Industry-Institute Interaction Club); Society of Finance Association (SOFIA) – (The Finance Club); IT @ GIM – (The Systems Club); Students Advisory Council (SAC) ,  BACCA – (The Alumni committee).

GIM also boasts of the initiative called Ribandar Talks which is a regular event, wherein an eminent speaker from the industry is invited to deliver a lecture to an audience comprising postgraduate management students, faculty and other scholars at the Institute’s premises.

Healthy interactions

Thus, the GIM experience includes not just class room learning, but also healthy and productive interactions with peers, faculty, guest speakers and industry members from across India and the globe.

The institute building was once a hospital where war soldiers were treated. While walking through the corridors of this place, history seems to whisper from the walls and the windows.

Some hostels are still named  OT, Morgue and Ladies hostel. The amazement that the building brings with quality education the institute provides and the credibility that the enviable infrastructure exhibits, makes this place very intriguing to say the least!
