International Relations
Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya (IIM Bodh Gaya) appreciates the academic rigor and richness that comes with having a culturally diverse campus and is committed to create one for its stakeholders. The International Relations Committee aims to create a gateway for international outreach and global partnership with an intent to amplify our academic rigor and cultural sagacity at IIM Bodh Gaya. The key priorities for International Relations are:
- To enter into meaningful and mutually beneficial collaborations with esteemed institutions across the world.
- To develop and enhance the business acumen of student by facilitating global exposure and immersion.
- To initiate global partnerships for academic research and faculty development.
The exchange programme enables the students and the faculty of partner institutions to gain insights into the distinct culture, values and academic milieu of each other’s countries. Such opportunities are particularly useful for the students of business as they get to experience the global economic interconnectedness and ever evolving intricacies of corporate domains like finance and marketing in an increasingly dynamic and volatile global business environment. The exchange program will further facilitate the bilateral flow of knowledge and values through faculty collaborations and research tie-ups.

“ My time at IIM Bodhgaya was a completely different experience than I expected, especially as it was my first time living on a campus. Academically, I had a more personal and unique experience. The smaller, more engaging classes were a welcome change from the theoretical lectures and large student numbers at Politecnico di Milano. I was able to meet many people and form deep connections with my fellow peers. I also had the opportunity to experience different nearby places like Patna, Kolkata, and Jamshedpur, where I even attended an Indian wedding. The most astonishing experience was attending the Mahakumbh festival in Varanasi. The spirituality and dedication of the people were amazing and made it a once-in-a-lifetime event for me.” See More

“ My three months at IIM Bodhgaya were incredibly eventful. The classes were very engaging, and the students were enthusiastic, which made the learning process enjoyable. The diverse backgrounds and experiences of my peers also contributed to a unique and enriching classroom environment. A major reason for me to come here was to immerse myself in the culture. As a residential program, I had countless opportunities to engage and learn outside the classroom. It was easy to make friends, and there were always plenty of sports and events happening. The college was very supportive of my travel and accommodation needs, and I was able to visit places like Banaras and Kolkata, which were major highlights of my time in India.” See More

“My first days at IIM Bodhgaya were a cultural shock, with new routines and languages, but the people here were incredibly welcoming. They immediately made me feel like part of the group, which was a huge comfort. Outside of class, my life was amazing, especially playing badminton, which was a great way to meet new friends. The highlight of my experience was the grand Diwali celebration—it was an unforgettable experience that helped me feel my best. As a travel vlogger, I also made time to explore incredible places like Delhi, Agra, and Varanasi. I’m truly thankful for this opportunity. I would highly recommend that any international student coming to IIM Bodhgaya appreciates every moment, explores widely, and socializes to get the most out of their experience.” See More
