IIM Sambalpur Has The Most Admissions In The 2023-25 MBA Batch, With 60% Of The Students Being Female

IIM Sambalpur will begin its 9th MBA cohort in 2023-25, making it the institute's largest batch to date.  The institute has increased the batch size from 300 to 320 this year, up from 300 last year. 

Women's participation increased dramatically in the new batch, with 60% of female students (197 seats) registering their seats in the course out of 329 students. Male students took the remaining 40% of the seats (132 seats). 

Dr Tapan Kumar Chand, President of Vedanta Ltd., and Swati Agarwal, Partner at Deloitte, graced the inauguration ceremony and delivered encouraging insights to the students in attendance. They mentored the entering class on their academic careers ahead and what it entailed, sharing information and insight with great honesty and expertise.  Prof. Shivani Sharma presented a vote of thanks to the dignitaries in attendance.

Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur, expressed his views, “At IIM Sambalpur, we focus on three core values that are innovation, integrity and inclusiveness which are based on the teachings of the Hindu deities - Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh.  The three lines in IIM Sambalpur’s logo depict those three in the form of a famous Sambalpuri handloom design.  These are the three core values, if focused, that can help Indian B-schools to rank globally.   Going forward, I believe these values will be the differentiating factor in the learning journey of the incoming batch.  I hope this transformative educational experience for the students will bring about a bigger societal impact in the future.”
