Nestled amidst the serene hills and farmlands of Basantpur, Goshala, the campus of IIM Sambalpur offers a tranquil environment, far removed from the bustle of metropolitan life. Amidst this calm setting, life at IIM Sambalpur is centered around academic commitments such as classes, assignments, presentations, live projects, industrial visits, and CEO immersion programs. Managing the tight deadlines of these various evaluations forms the core of students’ daily schedules. Students at IIM Sambalpur are actively involved in numerous student-run committees and clubs. One such committee is the Academic Committee, which serves as a vital link between students and faculty. It plays a key role in addressing academic-related concerns and regularly communicates students’ recurring requests for deadline extensions. In addition to its rigorous academic program, the Institute provides access to top-notch faculty and industry professionals from across the IIM network. The depth of knowledge these professors bring and their seamless delivery of complex subjects both inspire and impress the students. This dedication naturally motivates students to engage with their studies—especially after witnessing the professors’ commitment firsthand. Even after formal lectures conclude, the library remains a hub of student activity, with many continuing to study late into the night.

Students also work hand in hand with the Institute’s administration to organize various activities aimed at fostering holistic development. India’s evolving economic landscape is filled with abundant opportunities. Alongside established corporate giants, innovative startups—many supported by the government and other key stakeholders—offer dynamic avenues for students. Many aspire not only to take up jobs but also to become entrepreneurs and job creators. IIM Sambalpur strives to nurture a comprehensive mindset that prioritizes sustainable and socially inclusive growth in every initiative undertaken by its stakeholders.
