History
The Post Graduate Programme (PGP) was started in 1985–86 with a strength of 30 students. When the institute was established, classes were held in rented rooms at Butler Palace and subsequently moved to Giri Institute of Developmental Studies. The current campus was built in 1992 in the outskirts of Lucknow. During the initial days, due to its remoteness, students used to walk to the Highway-bypass Junction, which had a milestone saying “IIM Lucknow 3.4 km”, to buy amenities and hang out. Some students used to play guitar to entertain others on their walk of 3.4 km. It was in honour of this fact, that the college’s official rock band is called as “3.4”
Research
Our mission is to to develop the Institute into a fully integrated management school, so that it moves from a pre-ponderent education imparting mode to a knowledge creation, dissemination and application mode in an integrative form. It is with this intention that along with the efforts of intellectualization, the Institute has decided to concentrate on a Globalization Programme, for undertaking collaborative programmes, involving exchange of faculty, doctoral and graduate students with its global counterparts. Besides the focused research centers listed alongside, the institute has also undertaken the following research projects.
