About IIM Guwahati

The Indian Institute of Management Guwahati has been established by the Government of India under the Ministry of Education (formerly the Ministry of Human Resource Development) in 2026 in Guwahati, Assam. It is the 22nd Indian Institute of Management to be established in India . Assam is the gateway to India’s North-East and is distinguished by its rich natural resources, cultural heritage, biodiversity, and expanding opportunities across trade, services, tourism, and entrepreneurship.

In its formative years, IIM Guwahati is guided by a clear and ambitious vision to develop management professionals and leaders capable of building high-performing organisations, grounded in ethical leadership, evidence-based decision-making, and societal value creation—while remaining attentive to the unique economic, cultural, and ecological context of the North-East.


The Mentor Institute

During its formative phase, the Indian Institute of Management Guwahati is being mentored by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad. IIM Ahmedabad will guide the Institute in establishing robust academic foundations, institutional systems, and governance practices aligned with the standards of the IIM ecosystem.

Through this mentorship, IIM Guwahati is committed to building an institution that balances academic rigour with contextual relevance, and leadership development with a strong sense of public purpose.

Under the mentorship framework, IIM Ahmedabad supports IIM Guwahati in building a strong and sustainable institutional foundation during its early years. This includes guidance on academic architecture—covering programme design, curriculum frameworks, pedagogical approaches, and assessment philosophy—as well as the establishment of governance structures and academic processes such as committees, policies, regulations, and academic calendar frameworks. The mentorship also extends to quality assurance through the development of benchmarks for teaching and learning, academic integrity systems, review mechanisms, and a culture of continuous improvement.

In addition, IIM Ahmedabad provides support for capability building by mentoring faculty and administrative teams to foster a robust academic culture and institutional maturity over time. Foundational institutional systems are also shaped under this guidance, including processes related to admissions, examinations, student affairs, and administration. Beyond these, the mentorship will also encompass areas critical to a new institution’s evolution, such as faculty recruitment and development, research orientation and culture-building, student engagement frameworks, external collaborations and partnerships, branding and outreach, and the gradual development of organisational values and institutional identity aligned with the broader IIM ecosystem.
