IIM Jammu marks 10 years with LG as chief guest
IIM Jammu celebrated its 10th anniversary on August 22 at its Mandapam campus, with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha as the chief guest. Sinha released seven coffee-table books documenting the institute's journey and outlined four priorities for the next decade: a distinctive academic identity rooted in Indian enterprise, experiential learning, research focused on border economies, and placements as nation-building. He noted that IIM Jammu started with 56 students on a temporary campus and now holds both AMBA and EFMD accreditations, with research output rising from two papers in 2017 to nearly 350 in 2025.
Director Prof B.S. Sahay highlighted the institute's NIRF 2025 ranking of 35th and its transition from an emerging school to one with growing international presence. The event brought together policymakers, industry leaders, alumni, faculty and students. Prof Shakti Kumar Gupta emphasised synergy among IIM Jammu, IIT Jammu and AIIMS Jammu, saying the region cannot work in silos. The institute aims to strengthen research, innovation, entrepreneurship and global partnerships in its second decade.
