Welcome STEP, IIM Calcutta
Welcome to STEP, the international Student Exchange Program
of IIM Calcutta, one of the top business schools of India and Asia , welcomes
all new and future students and other guests to this comprehensive site. Here
you will find all the requisite information about the student exchange program
we offer at our institute. The objective of the Exchange Program is to provide
students with increased exposure to cultures and business practices other than
their own. Keeping in mind today's dynamic global business environment, IIMC has
placed a strong emphasis on international student exchange programs as a means
to equip students with cross-cultural exposure and train them in global business
ethics to complement their knowledge of the Indian business scenario
Our
association with foreign universities dates a long way back. MIT’s Sloan School
of Management played a key role during the formative years of IIMC .STEP, which
continues the institute tradition of international symbiosis, was formally
launched in 1999 . It encompasses PGP students ( that is, those who are
following the post- graduate program in management), as well as doctoral
students of IIMC. Under STEP, the students of IIM Calcutta get an opportunity to
spend one term in major business schools around the world. The exchange program
also enables overseas students from prestigious partner business schools to
experience share ideas, insights and experiences with the IIMC community and
gain a feel of Indian business as the country’s star rises rapidly on the world
stage.
Since 1999, STEP has come a long way but we are still a young exchange program.
We currently have 38 partner schools but actively seek to collaborate with the
best business schools in the world. You should choose IIM Calcutta because it is
the best name in India, a country which will be extremely future to the economic
future to the world in the 21st century. Due to its prestige, the best of
faculty (many of whom return from the West) converge to teach the cream of the
student population (a handpicked 400 from 300,000 applicants) at IIMC. What
IIMC thus offers you is the opportunity to match your intellect against India’s
top students, in the process, learning about business and the Indian ethos under
India’s best management and student exchange programs.
