About
International Management Institute Kolkata is the eastern campus of the IMI group and runs a two-year PGDM from its campus in Kolkata. It is a stand-alone institute rather than a university department, so it awards a postgraduate diploma rather than a degree, and it ranks 42 in NIRF 2025 management.

IMI does not publish a percentile cutoff or its selection weights, so a strong interview and a well-prepared profile matter once you clear the shortlist.
