About Indian Institute of Management Lucknow
The Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIML), was established in 1984, by the Government of India, as one of the six national level management institutes set up by the Government of India. It was the fourth Indian Institute of Management to be established in India after IIM Calcutta, IIM Ahmedabad, and IIM Bangalore. It has two campuses, one situated at the outskirts of the city of Lucknow and the other in Noida.

The Institute's aim is to help improve the management of corporate and non-corporate sectors and public systems, through pursuit of excellence in management education, research, consulting and training.  The institute follows a case based teaching methodology. The case based teaching methodology helps the students to relate the theories learned to real life situations and also find patterns in what initially looks random. Fully enabled lecture theaters with state-of-the-art audio-visual tools help the students present all aspects of a study. Regular presentations help them to become both knowledgeable individuals and persuasive speakers. IIM Lucknow has traditionally focused on the all round development of its students.

IIM Lucknow has broken new grounds in being the first IIM to start an additional campus in the country. The Noida Campus is being developed as a centre of excellence in the area of executive education. It is the IIML way of contributing to the industry and realizing its vision to remain at the forefront of management thinking and education.  The Management Development Program (MDP) is a milestone in IIM Lucknow's path towards becoming a totally integrated Institute with a global presence. The objective of the MDP is to help improve management systems by providing relevant training to executives of all levels in the industry, government and non-government sectors to take on a leadership role in their position individually and collectively.
