Amritsar, June 20

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Amritsar, is all set for a four-fold increase in seats for the two-year postgraduate programme.

About 136 students who cleared the Common Admission Test (CAT-2015) will join the batch of 45 students, who have entered the second year of the course.

The IIM classes are being conducted at the transit camp on the premises of the Punjab Institute of Technology, which falls under the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development. The permanent campus, whose foundation stone was laid by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley yesterday, is expected to come up at the designated site in Manawala village in three-four years.

It is learnt that the state government has spared an additional floor in the building to accommodate the fresh batch, which is likely to join by July 15.
