Board of Governors of IIM Tiruchirappalli


IIM Tiruchirappalli commenced its academic journey in June 2011 with 84 students in the first year of its Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM). IIM Tiruchirappalli is governed by professional members who are some of the most reputed and distinguished personalities in their own fields like finance, law, education, entrepreneurship, advertising, etc.

IIM Tiruchirappalli offered three academic programmes as on March 2021:

Post Graduate Programme in Management

Post Graduate Programme in Management – Human Resources

Post Graduate Programme in Business Management

Doctoral Programme in Management

Executive Doctoral Programme in Management

Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM) is the flagship programme of the institute. Two Hundred and Forty Six students from all over the country enrolled for this programme in the 2020-2022 batch.

IIM Tiruchirappalli launched the Post Graduate Programme in Business Management (PGPBM), the two-year executive programme for working executives in August 2012. Fifty students joined the programme during the year.

During 2020-2022, three students joined the Doctoral Programme in Management (DPM) of IIM Tiruchirappalli. The institute also launched Executive Doctoral Programme in Management (EDPM) in a ceremony held on January 25, 2020. A total of eleven students enrolled for the EDPM Programme. The institute selected the candidates through a rigorous selection process.

Based on the advisory dated March 05, 2020 issued by of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, regarding prevention from mass gathering due to COVID-19, the eighth Annual Convocation of the Institute was deferred last year. This year, a total of 175 students [168 students of the PGPM 2018-2020 batch, 03 students of PGPM 2017-2019 batch who completed their course work along with PGPM 2018-2020 batch; 04 students of PGPM 2017-19 who went on exchange during Term-VI of the academic year 2018-19] were declared eligible to obtain Master of Business Administration degree during the eighth convocation.

Director’s Report


During the year, the institute could not actively engage in outbound and inbound exchange programmes, and faculty exchange programmes. However, the International Relations Office (IRO) had initiated discussion for signing agreements with more than 25 institutions/universities during 2020-21. As a part of the International week, reputed faculty members from universities abroad conducted single-credit elective courses for our students using the online teaching platform Zoom.

In this journey of professional and academic excellence, we have designed a student team project called ‘Make a difference’ (MAD). The main objective of MAD is to sensitize our students about the social issues in our society. Under the MAD project, all the students of PGPM would work in teams on an issue of social importance.

The Placement Office of IIM Tiruchirappalli serves as an interface of the institute with corporate and works towards facilitating inspiring and enlightening intellectual interactions. It had handled the summer and final placements of the batch successfully.

I am glad to inform that IIM Tiruchirappalli has been selected by the Ministry of HRD to conduct Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP). TEQIP is a World Bank assisted project initiated by the Ministry of Human Resource Development which aims at building academic leadership and improving the quality of Technical education in the country.

I am glad to report that the faculty members of IIM Tiruchirappalli have several publications in reputed international journals and have presented their research findings in the best international conferences in their areas. A detailed list of their publications and presentation is given in the report.

IIM Tiruchirappalli believes in the holistic development of its students. It encourages students to participate in several competitions in other institutes all over the country. They have formed several events like industry talks, seminars, workshops, guest lectures, and quizzes through these clubs.

Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is the Centre for academic and professional knowledge sharing. It aims to be a source of information and knowledge for students, faculty, and other stakeholders of IIM Tiruchirappalli. It hosts a vast collection of books, research journals, magazines, and newspapers in the field of management and social sciences, from India and across the world.

IIM Tiruchirappalli is a socially responsible organisation and understands its social responsibility. Elixir – the social responsibility club at IIM Tiruchirappalli organizes lectures to increase awareness of social issues and to inculcate the concept of ‘giving back to society’ in the minds of students.

“Lakshya” is a unique guest lecture series, which provides the students a platform to interact with eminent personalities from the corporate world to get an overview of the current trends and changing landscape of the business world. IIMT also holds the honor and distinction of inviting eminent personalities to not only facilitate the students to learn from the experience of industry specialists but also enhance their business acumen.

The above achievements would not have been possible but for the unstinted guidance, support and cooperation from the Chairman and esteemed members of the IIM Tiruchirappalli Board of Governors, faculty and staff members of the institute and the officials of Ministry of Human Resource

Director’s Report


Development, Government of India. I thank them for their whole-hearted and continued support to me during the year.

I also acknowledge, at this juncture, the timely and valuable services provided by our Bankers, viz., State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Punjab National Bank and Canara Bank in various ways and with whom our funds are also invested safely.

Our sincere thanks are also due to the Officials of Comptroller & Auditor General of India, New Delhi and the Principal Director of Audit (Central), Chennai, for their valuable services rendered during the course of Accounts and Transaction Audits. It is with pride that I state that our Institute did not receive any adverse comments from the PDA (Central), Chennai this year. This highlights our commitment to the best accounting and disclosure practices as required under Uniform Accounting Standards (UAS) approved by MHRD in consultation with CAG of India.

We are also grateful to our Independent Auditors and our Internal Auditors who have advised and guided us on various financial and accounting matters towards better controls, compliance and transparency in our books of accounts. Thanks are due to various other certifying agencies and authorities who have helped us fully meet every statutory and regulatory requirement.

I look forward to the continued co-operation from all stakeholders to take this institute to greater heights.

Dr. Pawan Kumar Singh
