The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad may set up a campus in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), becoming the first IIM to make a foray abroad along the lines of at least three Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) that are currently in the process of establishing overseas campuses, it is learnt.
The development is significant since it’s the first time that the central government is considering the overseas expansion of one of India’s top business schools. the education ministry has already held at least one round of meetings on the proposal.
IT was the UAE government that first reached out to the Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi with the proposal.
