Background

The establishment of IIM Guwahati is part of a broader initiative to enhance educational infrastructure in the north-eastern region of India [3] [4] . The Union Cabinet approved the bill to set up the institute, marking it as the second IIM in the Northeast after IIM Shillong, which was established in 2007 [1] . The central government has committed an investment of ₹555 crore over five years (2025–2030) for the development of the institution [5] [6] .

IIM Guwahati will be mentored by IIM Ahmedabad and is set to commence its academic session in the current year [2] [7] . Initially, classes will be held at a temporary campus provided by the state, with plans for a permanent campus in Palasbari, Kamrup district [8] . The establishment of IIM Guwahati is expected to foster regional development by attracting talent and fostering economic growth in the Northeast [9] [1] [8] .
