It has been learnt that the curriculum of the new session will be revised to make it not only industry-oriented, but also prepare young minds for entrepreneurship. This was necessitated especially due to Covid that has affected the global economy and industry.

Also the admission process for the fresh batch was online due to the pandemic.

Mukesh Kumar, media chairperson, said the institute planned to add around 50 more seats. The classes will begin by around mid-July. “We aim to have a total batch of nearly 200 students. The admission process was conducted through online interaction due to the restriction on movement due to the Covid-19 lockdown. The fourth admission list has already been released. The selected students are being informed to undertake further admission formalities by the first week of July,” he said.

The convocation ceremony for the pass-out batch (2018-2020) has been deferred due to the Covid pandemic. Gold medallists Keshav Gupta (outstanding scholastic performance) and Mathew KJ (best all round performance) have been intimated through e-mail.

The ongoing session (2019-2021) for 146 students, who have been undergoing their internship programme, will be promoted to the final term. The IIM-Amritsar offers two-year MBA and General Management with a summer internship.
