Popularly known as the seat of the Nawabi culture, Lucknow stands out as a city that takes pride in the endearing but subdued articulation of its essence and identity. Its mystical elegance and amorous ethos rarely fail to fascinate a perceptive mind. Indeed, it is difficult to remain unimpressed by its ‘tehzeeb’ (cultural refinement), hospitality, politesse, cuisines and ‘Shaam-e-Awadh’. At the same time, Lucknow is placed among the fastest growing cities of India and is rapidly emerging as a manufacturing, commercial and retailing hub. This unique combination of rich cultural traditions and brisk economic growth provides Lucknow with an aura that refuses to fade away.

Faculty :The role of a teacher is not simply to bestow knowledge – it is to help the student seek even more learning. The faculty of IIM Lucknow is composed of distinguished and experienced professors from various walks of life. Their goal – to nurture the talent of their students and to guide them along the path of true knowledge.

The faculty of this institute are prepared to take the extra step that separates excellence from merely adequate. As this is a residential institute, the faculty is available to guide the students not only within the classroom setting, but also on a more informal and customized level outside it.
