A friend of mine from school happens to be a former student of IIM Udaipur. From what I heard from her, IIM Udaipur lays stress on entrepreneurship right from the get-go.
Entrepreneurship:
Various opportunities for start-ups are provided to the students. Right from the students choosing to leave a summer internship to the students who aspire to become entrepreneurs in the future; IIM Udaipur gives opportunities to each and every one.
It offers stipends for covering the basic costs of living. The stipends ensure that the students do not get distracted by their day-to-day spending and focus on the big picture of starting a venture.
The institute also provides placement holidays where the students are allowed to use the services of the campus placement at a later date. They, however, have to use the services within two years of graduation.
Faculty:
The Japanese model of faculty development is followed by IIM Udaipur. The process of selection is tough but after the appointment of the faculty, they are benefited by the support from the institution. The goal is that each member of the faculty will become well established in the fields they have chosen. May it be the NIRF ranking or UT Dallas ranking, they have the final say in this respect.
Research:
In terms of research, IIM Udaipur is in the top five.
Achievement:
In terms of international ranking also, IIM Udaipur has an enviable position be it in the QS World Ranking or FT MiM Ranking. It was awarded the accreditation of AACSB when it was the youngest institute in the country.
From the time IIM Udaipur came into the radar, it has been trying to change that situation in the hopes of creating a better brand name in the future and attracting more aspiring students so that they can lead.
