Indira Institute of Management

About Indira Institute of Management

The Shree Chanakya Education Society (SCES)  was established in February 1994, under the visionary leadership of Ms. Tarita Shankar, with the aim of providing top quality post-graduate education in the fields of Business Management, International Business and Information Technology. Tarita Shankar, Chairperson, Indira Group, integrated her pursuit of excellence and articulated educational institutions, known as Indira Group of Institutes (IGI), which imbibe human excellence and demonstrate strong social values, with a single minded pursuit of developing the youth to become business leaders.

Attendance - The Students of Indira are required to maintain a minimum of 90% attendance per semester. Any student failing to meet the above standard is liable to get his / her term cancelled; in addition he / she will not be allowed to participate in the Campus Recruitment Program. Feedback based on monthly monitoring of attendance helps students maintain the minimum required attendance. The course is strenuous in nature and demands attendance on Sundays too. As such any student willing to put in long hours on a regular basis will be best suited to adapt to the course and derive maximum benefit from it.

Dress Code - At Indira, we believe in inculcating a sense of discipline and belonging in the students by observing a strict dress code. Students are expected to wear formal dress (shirt and trousers for gents; sari / salwar kameez for ladies) throughout the week, except on Saturdays which will be observed as `casual-day'. On the occasion of guest lectures, seminars etc. students are expected to be dressed in the Indira uniform (blazers, tie, shirt, trouser for gents and sari for ladies). A student failing to adhere to the dress code will not be allowed to attend the lectures and will face disciplinary action.
