Temporary facilities finalised for IIM-Tiruchi
Decks have been cleared for the start of Indian Institute of Management – Tiruchi (IIM-T) from 2010-11.
While the NIT will provide a hostel with a capacity to accommodate over 180 students, the BHEL has offered a two-storey building adjacent to the BIM for the academic complex. The final procedure that remains is the ratification of the choice of the temporary venues by the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

Indu Shekhar Vasisst, Chief Administrative Officer of Indian Institute of Management – Bangalore that will be providing mentoring support to the new IIM-T visited the National Institute of Technology – Tiruchi and the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Tiruchi, to finalise the temporary venues for hostel and classrooms respectively for the IIM-T for a two-year duration.

With the addition of these four, there will be 11 IIMs in the country from 2010-11.
