Considering the agrarian economy of Andhra Pradesh, agriculture and water resources will also be a focus area in recruitment,” said Prof Chandrasekhar.

Meanwhile, the permanent campus of the business school is fast shaping up in Gambheeram and is expected to be ready by the next academic year.

Prof Chandrasekhar said the hostels at the permanent campus can accommodate 300 students per batch. “This will give a scope for the institute to increase its annual intake. New management disciplines are evolving with the changing business environment and technology-enabled innovations. IIM-V also wants to diversify its offerings—both in terms of academic programmes and training programmes,” said Prof Chandrasekhar.

The IIM-V director added that the institute may hire about eight to 10 new faculty in emerging areas in this recruitment. “IIM-V also wants to harness expertise in areas like health and nutrition, considering the recent experiences with the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Prof Chandrasekhar.
