Meeting people at IIM Nagpur
Meeting people at IIM Nagpur, in Nagpur, starts with the campus's own social rhythm, not a generic checklist.
IIM Nagpur is the only IIM built inside the MIHAN cargo-and-airport hub rather than a traditional university district, and it began operations under mentorship from IIM Ahmedabad with a temporary campus at VNIT before its own MIHAN campus was formally inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind in May 2022.
What the campus is like socially
IIM Nagpur runs on a case-comp and section culture, where your section and your committees, not the open campus, are where most friendships actually form, and the flagship fest pulls in students from across the country.
How to find your people here
At IIM Nagpur, a club or committee is the fastest way to build a real social circle, since the two-year program moves fast and most lasting friendships come out of a shared case comp or event team.
