More than fifty per cent of the students who took admission in the Indian Institute of Management, Sambalpur (IIM-S) this academic session are girls, an official said.
Of the 98 students registered for admission on Monday, 50 are girls. The premier B-School held its commencement ceremony of the 5th batch MBA (2019-2021) on Monday.
Director of the institution, Mahadeo Jaiswal said: "the number of the girls, taking admission in IIM-S is the highest among the IIMs in the country. Proper communication about the institution and the growth of the institution besides good placement record are the reasons, which attracted more number of girl students to this institution".
The 4th batch (2018-2020) of the IIM-S has no girl student.
Stating that many people had an idea that Sambalpur as location for an IIM is not suitable, Jaiswal said: "But we made consistent effort to disseminate the proper information about the IIM-S and location in the last few year as a result a result more number of girls have taken admission this time."
