The Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM-C), has become the first institute in India to tie up with CEMS, formerly known as the Community of European Management Schools and International Companies, an international alliance of management institutes across 28 countries in the world. The CEMS MIM is a postgraduate, pre-experience degree open to a select group of students enrolled on a master’s programme in one of the 28 listed institutions from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia. The course will be available for IIM-C students from 2013-14.

Ashok Banerjee, dean, new initiatives and external relations (NIER), IIM-C, said, “We will become the only school in India to be a part of this alliance. We are going to sign a memorandum of understanding with CEMS, through which our students will have the opportunity to get masters in management (MIM) degree from CEMS.”
 
“Based on the agreement, we will have a three-year exclusivity with CEMS in India. Our students will be able to study in the best global institutes and in exchange the students there will be coming to IIM-C. This will also help us in getting rated among the best management institutes in the world,” he added.

Gracing the golden jubilee closing ceremony held at the IIMC campus, as the chief guest, Professor Ramachandra Guha, (Philippe roman chair of international affairs and history at the London School of Economics) and also an ex-student of IIMC, enlightened the audience with facts regarding the midlife crisis of present India and her socio-economic pervasive problems.” Proper government, civil society and private sectors are the three most important tools for a flourished democracy and India needs to heal its fault lines within before going global.”
