The Institute

The Institute of Management in Kerala was established under the tutelage of the University of Kerala in the year 1991. The Institute is located near the international business hub of Kerala, the techno park, along the national highway-47, amidst the lush green Karyavattom University Campus. The institute is part of the newly formed School of Business Management and Legal studies, University of Kerala.

Karyavattom, which literally translates to “The circle of debates and discussions”, used to be the strategic planning centre of the erstwhile Travancore royal administration around its inception. It is indeed a meaningful co-incidence that the once centre of thoughts of a kingdom is now the centre of discussions and debates of emerging managers.
