Campus
IIM Indore Campus Overview
The institute originally operated out of a temporary campus in Rajendra Nagar in Indore until 2003, before moving to its current campus. On 3 October 1998, the foundation stone of the Indore campus was laid by Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries (RIL), a Fortune Global 500 company and India's most valuable company by market value.[17] The current campus is located at Prabandh Shikhar, on Rau-Pithampur Road, close to the Pithampur Special Economic Zone, off Agra-Bombay Highway. Situated atop a scenic hillock, the IIM Indore campus is 193 acre by area.
The institute is taking ahead its expedition in Mumbai with a new campus, situated at Hiranandani Knowledge Park, Powai.
Student Residences
The present campus started with 4 hostels each housing 60 students and was gradually increased to 18 hostels (for PGP and IPM students). Rooms in all the hostels have direct computer connectivity to the main LAN that provides an 1 Gbit/s internet connectivity via National Knowledge Network. For the One Year Full-Time MBA (EPGP) students, a separate hostel has been set up that can house almost 200 students. In addition to these, IIM Indore also has a Management Development Centre (MDC) which houses the MDP participants. A hostel dedicated to participants of Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) has been constructed recently. Refurbishment and renovation work also encompasses the main gate and several other buildings in the IIM campus such as staff quarters for the visiting faculty.
Learning Centre
The Learning Center (LC) is IIM Indore's library. The learning centre offers a quiet space to study along with a plethora of magazines, journals and newspapers. The entire LC collection of books and print journals/ magazines, and its e-collection comprising e-journals, e-books, online databases, CD-ROM collection, etc., is accessible through the institute's local network as well as off-campus using in-house routing VPN.
Due to the members' growing needs and preferences, LC focuses more on subscriptions to online resources than to printed documents. In the last few years, e-resources of the IIMI LC increased considerably in terms of number and subject coverage. In addition to circulation and acquisition services, the Learning Centre provides reference, photocopying and scanning services to members. Documents that are not available in the IIMI LC are sourced from other institutions (IIMs and IITs among others) through a robust interlibrary loan arrangement.
External membership is granted under specific circumstances with specified terms and conditions to businesses, industrial and government setups, academics (Research Scholars) and IIMI Alumni.
Sports Complex
The new sports complex, which has a gymnasium, a swimming pool, a squash court, a sauna bath and an auditorium, was inaugurated in October 2011 by Shri L.N. Jhunjhunwala, the chairman of the Board of Governors. Apart from this, the hostels have badminton, volleyball and Basketball courts.
