Description
Renovating DoMS Seminar Hall - Alumni Fundraising Initiative for the 2008 DoMS MBA Batch – Rs.60 Lakhs
Department of Management Studies(DoMS) is looking at developing a State-of-the-art classrooms to accommodate 120 students. Owing to the new academic programmes and increase in intake of students, the department felt the acute need for large classrooms with professional layout (horizontal instead of vertical layout to enable reach of students). We want to renovate Seminar Hall on 3rd floor that can accommodate 120 students.
"The rennovated Seminar Hall is set to bear the esteemed name of our generous donors, 2008 DoMS MBA Batch, in recognition of their impactful contribution and commitment to advancing education and innovation within our institution."
The IIT Madras Department of Management Studies (DoMS) was formed in 2004. The department's vision is “To be recognized as India’s best-in-class business school in emerging knowledge domains of management, with expanding global reach through effective engagement with academia, industry, government, and other relevant stakeholders.” It has a faculty strength of 26, spanning the functional areas of Human Resources, Finance, Information Systems and Technology Management, Integrative Management. Marketing, Operations and Manufacturing. DoMS research and teaching programs have earned widespread acclaim. The MBA program emerged among one of the bests in India within a decade of its launch. It attained NIRF ranking 10 in the year 2022. The knowledge and expertise of the Department’s faculty members are highly sought after by Businesses, Industry, Government, and NGOs. In the area of Operations and Manufacturing Management, the faculty is rated among the top 50 worldwide and No.1 in India.
With a distinct focus on research, in the past 5 years, the Department has graduated more than 150 Research Scholars through its Ph.D. and MS (by Research) programs. Nearly 600 papers have been published in leading international journals, with more than 20% in “A*” or “A” quality journals (as per the standard ABDC journals classification). DoMS has flourishing MOUs with reputed foreign Institutions and Management Schools that facilitate student exchanges (about 40 each year, inbound and outbound), faculty research, and project collaborations. Joint doctorate degree programs with the University of Passau, the University of Duisberg-Essen (Germany), Swinburne University of Technology (Australia) and Curtin University (Australia) are some of the highlights of the MOUs. On average, 15 executive development programs and 4 faculty development programs are conducted annually. Since its inception, the MBA program has secured 100% placement of graduates in top-class multinational and national organizations. Two-year Executive MBA program for working professionals, a TechMBA program, and a Dual Degree Quantitative Finance Program for B.Tech students have been launched successfully.
The stated goals of DoMS for the next 5 years are to:
* Maintain high academic standards by updating the curriculum to embrace digital transformation. New courses will emphasize digital competencies, data analysis, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The Dept. will begin offering online certification programs, democratizing quality education globally and making ‘IITM for all’ motto a reality.
* Invest in modern infrastructure, including classrooms, laboratories, and recreational spaces, to create an engaging and conducive learning environment.
* Foster a global perspective by expanding international partnerships, exchange programs, and study-abroad opportunities.
* Drive collaborative research for tangible societal and business outcomes—pioneering interdisciplinary impact.
* Elevate MBA and Executive MBA programs for global leadership readiness over the next five years.
* Offer more industry specific interdisciplinary customized programs.
* Recruit 15 regular faculty, establish Chairs, recruit at least 6 Professors of Practice per area, and adjunct faculty in each area fostering academic brilliance and innovation.
* Establish an indigenous Case Center to foster the culture of case writing and case teaching.
A Peer Review Committee report on DoMS highlighted the need for the Department to “rise to the next higher level of reputation” by establishing excellence in one or more focus areas and recommended accepting a large donation for this purpose. This proposal has been formulated in line with the Committee’s view.
We are seeking to raise funds for equipping and renovating the seminar hall. We want a seminar hall that can cater to both physical and virtual (online) attendees. The hall must have an audio/visual setup to make the presentations and interactions seamless and clutter-free. The classroom should have proper acoustics and be soundproof, having a projection screen with multi-touch features, boards, mikes, AC duct, false roofing, wire/clutter-free, high-speed internet for video conferencing, Tables and chairs, and so on. We hope that we will secure the support of our generous alumni from 2008 full-time MBA batch to set up this modern well equipped seminar hall.
