On Friday, the administration of the Union Territory of Ladakh and the Indian Institute of Management Jammu formalised a memorandum of understanding to set up IIM Jammu’s first satellite campus in Leh. The signing ceremony was attended by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena along with senior officials from both the UT and the institute.
The new campus will launch a four‑year BBA (Honours) course in October, offering 60 seats in its inaugural batch. Around 600 candidates have already expressed interest in the programme. Infrastructure for the campus was readied within two months of the initiative, and the event saw participation from Chief Secretary Ashish Kundra, IIM Jammu Board Chairman Milind Kamble, Director B S Sahay, and Higher Education Secretary Bhanu Prabha.
Historically, Ladakhi students aspiring to pursue management education have had to relocate outside the territory, bearing significant travel, accommodation and material costs. By bringing a recognised management programme to Leh, the satellite campus aims to lower these barriers, align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’, and create new opportunities for youth in knowledge, innovation, entrepreneurship and professional growth.
