About Assam Institute of Management, Bamunimaidam

The Assam Institute of Management was established in 1988 as an autonomous institute of Government of Assam. Prior to that, several diagnostic studies were conducted by the State Government, which identified management inefficiency and dearth of professionally trained management personnel as the main reason for the underperformance of the State Level Public Enterprises and various government sponsored projects. In that context, the Government of Assam promoted the Assam Institute of Management as an autonomous institute under the Public Enterprises Department. In 1997, the Government of Assam changed the Institute’s reporting department by a Cabinet Resolution under its Administrative Reforms Programme. Considering the contribution of the Institute in management education, the Government of Assam has restructured and broadened the Governing Body of the Institute and vide a circular in September, 2008, the Institute has been brought under the Directorate of Technical Education of Government of Assam.
