IIMA now EQUIS Accredited

The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA), has been
accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), the
leading international accreditation body for International business
schools. The EQUIS accreditation has ensured IIMA’s place as the
first and the only business school in India to obtain international
accreditation. IIMA becomes one among the 113 EQUIS-recognized
schools in the world, from 33 countries to have attained international
accreditation, making it a truly Global Business Management School.
EQUIS is the leading international system of Quality Assessment,
Quality Improvement and Accreditation of Higher Education
Institutions in management administration. The EQUIS Scheme has
been designed with special focus on all the activities of business
schools that aim to meet international standards of quality. The
fundamental objective of EQUIS is to raise the quality of management
education worldwide.
While accrediting management schools, EQUIS looks for balance
between high academic quality and the professional relevance
provided by close interaction with the corporate world. A strong
interface with the world of business is therefore, as much a
requirement as a strong research potential. Its scope covers all
programmes offered by an Institution, from the first degree to the
PhD, including non-degree programmes.
