At a time when management institutes jostle for a large share of the MBA market trying every which way to sell their offerings, Ishan Institute of Management and Technology (IIMT) prefers to follow its age-old the simple philosophy of under promising and over delivering. Ishan Institute of Management and Technology, a brainchild of the eminent pundit and social worker Dr. D.K.Garg has come a long way since 1994 and now offers a bouquet of programmes in diverse fields such as Management (PGDM) and Architecture (B.Arch.).

Located in the heart of Greater Noida, IIMT is one of the only institutes that offers management education at an astonishingly affordable cost. It firmly believes in deconstructing the myth of social Darwinism that relies on elimination and not inclusion – admission norms here are strict for the faculty members. With a team that consists of a healthy mix of academicians and corporate captains, students get to access the best of theoretical and applied forms of knowledge. There are continuous innovations in teaching processes such as the Mock Parliament Sessions, Case Studies and Workshops and seminar inviting global ambassadors to discuss contemporary issues. IIMT also was the first management institute in the world to organize a continuous 86 hour marathon class, to prepare the students for the rigors of the corporate world. Topics on leadership, motivation, stress management were discussed, and all 50 students who participated, successfully completed the challenge.

Issues that take centre stage in classroom discussion and otherwise are those on emerging India in the backdrop of global opportunities and challenges, the political economy of war on terrorism, the food security bill, FDI in retail, to the preparation and sharing of e-notes via social networking sites (www.ishanfamily.com/gmi). Such discussions make for an environment that is conducive to critical thinking and problem solving.

The physical infrastructure is at par with the best consisting of tech-savvy class rooms, two girls hostels, three boys hostels (all in-campus), a computer lab equipped with two hundred plus computers, a four hundred seating

canteen and a library that houses more than 25,000 of the best of books and research journals. IIMT also has a world-class auditorium built at a formidable cost, where documentary screenings and campus-related presentations are held.

The auditorium has been the host for lectures by high profile dignitaries such as ambassadors of Zimbabwe, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, Brazil, Iceland, Italy, Philippines, North Korea, Myanmar, Mauritius

and international management gurus besides bureaucrats and civil servants. The college has a multi gymnasium, a basketball court, a football ground and a joggers park within the campus. Two years of gruelling hard work is punctuated with events like the Hawan ceremony, Ghazal nights and the Annual fest Kshitiz etc.

Ishan students have prepared more than 1500 research projects which are of international standards. The institute publishes a quarterly magazine Anant, bi-annual research journal Management Stream and a daily campus newspaper Good Morning Ishan.

With a seventeen year old tradition of producing corporate luminaries, alumni of more than 1900 placed all over the world at high managerial levels, have become great ambassadors for the institute. Some of the recruiters include Tata Chemicals, Cipla, Usha Marin, Reliance Infocom, Yamaha Motors, Zenith Computers and Hero Motors. The institute takes pride in its global status having placed its students in China, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Denmark, USA, Canada and South Africa.

IIMT students are also given stress management lessons in business ethics from Bhagwad Gita during the annual spiritually week that is addressed by dignatories in the field. Nishkama karma of karma yogis can never go unnoticed and hence awards like Best Institute by U.P. Journalist Association (2009 &200, and a rank of 14th in placements by AIMA, besides a rank of 34 h by Hindustan Times are also some of its feats. Not to forget that it received the Best Institution Award (based on spirituality) by Shelia Dikshit, Chief Minister of Delhi.
