Clearing doubts

Privilege entails responsibility!
IILM-GSM recognizes and admits the factual canon. We have had enough nitty-gritty of the institute and I will unbosom more facts in the process. But, let me a give it a break and clear your mind of any cloudiness. There are numerous confusions I come across when I go through your questions. The concerns seem unanimous! Well, this makes my job all the more easier…fewer coagulations!! I’m saved!
Jokes apart, the issues are more grim than they seem. Questions are dispersed across the web-world with hardly an authentic and reliable source to answer. The issues are enumerated and pinched at below with facts:
1. Is IILM BS(Mathura Road) in any way connected to IILM-GSM?
A big NO!
IILM GSM has no relations with IILM BS. They are entirely different. Remember not to make comparisons between the two!
IILM BS a new entrant in the array of B-schools and is associated with the Rai Foundation.
Though, IILM BS has adopted the dignified IILM brand, it has no relation with the premier institute.
IILM-GSM (inception-1993) is under Ramkrishna Sons’ aegis, which also shields IILM Academy of Higher Learning(Delhi, Greater Noida and Gurgaon).
IILM-GSM has no branch elsewhere, except in Greater Noida and is unique.
There is no comparison that should be made between IILM-GSM and IILM BS.

2. Does IILM-GSM accept CAT and MAT scores?
Accept CAT scores, not MAT scores.
CAT score – YES
MAT scores – NO

3. Is the course at IILM-GSM AICTE approved?
YES, the course at IILM-GSM is AICTE approved and is named PGDM ,according to the nomenclature.

4. What other courses are run at IILM-GSM?
Currently, 2 courses are run at IILLM-GSM campus, namely :
 PGDM- the flagship program and
 Retail Management
A course in Marketing as specialization is about to spring up soon.

5. Are the two courses AICTE approved?
Both, PGDM and Retail are AICTE approved.
That provides an added value to the authenticity of the programs run.

Grandeur at its best!
Dr. Sujit Kr. Basu is all set to reinforce the prestige and caliber of IILM-GSM. The college has already surged its 'daemon-head' among the top B-schools in India. With its congregation with elite CAT colleges, IILM-GSM has already registered an unparallel position. Dr.Sujit K.Basu has embellished IILM-GSM's credential. Let me acquaint you with his qualifications and as to why he would stove up the institute he takes charge of:

~ has served MDI,Gurgaon as the former Director.
~ a gold-medalist of the University of Calcutta, obtained his doctorate from the University of North Carolina, USA.
~ a statistician of international repute ,he has taught at various institutions like Presidency College, Calcutta; ISI, Calcutta; IIT, Kharagpur: IIM Calcutta over the last four decades; his research has taken him to various institutions and universities in countries like USA, Canada, several countries in Europe, China, Japan, Taiwan, Iran and Korea where he lectured and/or taught.

~ The Italian Government knighted him with the conferment of the “Order of the Italian Republic” (OMRI).

IILM-GSM has surely concieved a DG of mettle. The association will reap mutual benefits for not just the parties at the ends....but also to those who are in the medium- the students at IILM-GSM. With a DG of such high caliber and an institute of a repute as high IILM-GSM in association,the relation is bound to blossom.
MDI....now IILM-GSM, two shiny buds to the badge,Dr. Basu and IILM-GSM(the students of IILM-GSM,who make up the institute) are all set to bask in glory.

Hard Task Accomplished

Imperative it is, for an institute to carve a niche for itself and assimilating a positive feeling for itself in its students.One might have to literally hunt for a student who exudes positive vibes for his/her institute......Hard task!
Those that differ, possess substance.
Here's what a student,Ankita Kumar ,at IILM-GSM has to say-"The institute is good.The faculty is very co-operative and is at the disposal of students any time demanded.They try to help the students in every way possible.I underwent a personality change and the kind of enviornment here has helped me to build up a great level of confidence.The clubs have induced vibrancy in the campus ambience and they have tried to provide platforms to every student to come up with their views and enhance their hidden attributes."
IILM-GSM clinches the verity of the statement.

IILM GSM as a knowledge pool

IILM GSM as a business school does not only focus merely on providing jobs to it's students. It brings about an overall transformation in an individual with respect to his/her mental and physical skills which empowers him to face all the challenges in his life. IILM GSM is open to embrace students from diverse fields like sience, arts,commerce, B-tech, BBA etc and provide them with a solid platform to convert themselves into future managers. Inviting the intellectual pool through diversity has made IILM GSM a great place to learn and implement those learnings. Clearing the entrances like CAT and GMAT will obviously help an MBA aspirant to enter into this knowledge temple but in order to get adapted with the environment of IGSM one has to focus on developing his multitasking capability from day one. Ultimately that is what, is actually required in the corpoarte world.

The efforts of core faculty members are supplemented with visiting faculty from leading institutions and organizations.
