IIM Amritsar classes commence

Amritsar: The Indian Institute of Management Amritsar, is all set to start classes from August 7 from a provisional campus, as the construction work on its own building is yet to start. The classes, for now, will be convened at the Punjab Institute of Technology, located within the premises of Government Polytechnic College, near Guru Nanak Dev University. The IIM's own campus is proposed to be ready within a couple of years or more time. A press release from the authorities claimed that the institute got the final go ahead from the ministry of HRD to start the course this year, after the permanent site for the IIM campus was finalised by a committee in June.
