Institute of Management Studies

Famous as IMS KUK, the Institute was started in the year 2003 with the vision, to provide industry with well trained workforce and at the same time to help the society by providing world class entrepreneurs. The Institute is running a very special course which is MBA 5 Years Integrated Practice Oriented Program, in which students with a bent of mind for business administration are chosen after going through a rigorous process of selection which consists of entrance test, group discussion and personal interview. The USP of the course is that all students have to go for one month training after every semester and have to prepare a training report and come up with a presentation on it. This exercise keeps them in touch with industry. The first batch passed out in 2008 of which most of the students had got placements through campus recruitment and a few students with an entrepreneurial mindset have entered in their own ventures.
