Indian Institute of Management Jammu is an ‘Institute of national importance’ incorporated by the Indian Institutes of Management Act, 2017. Our vision is to develop leaders and entrepreneurs who can perform globally to make a valuable difference to the Society and the Corporate world.
Most of the students in India dream of undertaking MBA from IIMs, which is considered to be the most preferred institution amongst all the stakeholders - students, parents, and industry. At the same time, the presence of IIM, AIIMS and IIT as neighboring institutions of national importance is a rare combination. Therefore, it is a dire need to capitalize on this opportunity for the larger benefit of the aspiring students, parents, industry, government, society, and the nation as a whole. Healthcare is one of the fastest-growing industries. As countries continue to enjoy greater life expectancies than ever before, there is a constantly increasing need for experts in operations management, to come in and find ways to deliver more efficient and affordable care to a greater number of patients. There is an increasing focus on quality, optimization, improved productivity and sustainability in hospital operations across the globe. The vital administrative functions of a hospital such as accounts, human resource management, quality, logistics and supply chain, public relations, marketing and waste management are increasingly being managed by professional healthcare managers to achieve effectiveness and efficiency in day-to-day operations. Besides, exposure to a variety of courses gives students a wider vision of a problem and more tools to solve problems related to health administration and healthcare management. The program intends to build experts in health administration and health care management who will have adequate knowledge and expertise to improve processes, raise quality and reduce costs – essentially to help health professionals deliver better, faster care at affordable prices.
