Few days back I published a post on IIT Kharagpur. Soon after that many people pinged and asked me information about some more colleges in India. Some people wanted to know more about management colleges in India. So I decided to write about the Indian Institute Of Management Calcutta(IIM C) because it was the first Indian Institute of Management to be established and is consistently ranked as one of the best business schools in India and the Asia-Pacific region.
Established in 1961, IIM C is fully autonomous and offers several postgraduate and doctoral programs in management, as well as a bouquet of executive education programs. In addition to its main academic programs, IIM C is also engaged in research, consultancy, seminars, academic conferences and research publications.

Continuing the legacy, IIM Calcutta lived up to its title of the finance campus of India.
