Visakhapatnam
Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (IIMV) belongs to the

up by the Government of India in September 2015. The Indian Institutes
of Management Act 2017 declares IIMs as Institutions of National

Visakhapatnam. The Institute has begun the process for building a
permanent, full-fledged, word-class campus on approx. 230 acres of land
in the (relative) vicinity of the upcoming green-field international airport,
about 25 kilometres from the present (temporary/transit) campus. The
first phase of the new facility is expected to be functional by 2022.
