The Indian Institute of Management – Tiruchi (IIM-T) is upgrading its infrastructure with the addition of new classrooms, hostels and sports facilities, director Pawan Kumar Singh has said.
“We shifted to our current campus from National Institute of Technology – Tiruchi (NIT-T) in 2017, but by 2021, we realised that we our infrastructure was being strained by our growing needs. So we have built two new 80-seater classrooms, and six more are under construction. I think they will serve us well until 2030,” Mr. Singh said speaking to reporters on Friday ahead of the institute’s convocation ceremony on March 30.
He added that construction of a hostel with 330 single rooms will begin within a few weeks. “Two floors of this building could be used to accommodate senior executives of management development programmes,” he said
Apart from this, IIM-T will be improving its outdoor sports arena, with new playgrounds for students and children of faculty staying on the campus. “Our three indoor badminton courts, swimming pool and gymnasium, are already in use. We are also in the process of enhancing the capacity of our mess facilities to cater to the growing demand,” Mr. Singh said.
The placements closed on a high note, with over 180 companies participating in both Summer and Final Placements, respectively. The CTC figures would be released in the coming weeks, he said.
