History

The National Institute for Training in Industrial Engineering, later the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), now Indian Institute of Management Mumbai (IIM Mumbai) was established by the Government of India in 1963 with the assistance of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) through the International Labour Organization (ILO) to create skilled professionals. It was funded by the Government of India and registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.

Conversion to IIM

Noted industrialist Anand Mahindra and HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh had suggested, in 2007, the change in name of NITIE to an IIM, Mumbai. The then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had promised to look into the issue.

For several years no step was taken in this direction, but recently, on 31 January 2022, the Ministry of Education (India) has constituted a committee of experts to deliberate on the feasibility of bringing the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE) Mumbai under IIM Act, 2017. The list of experts includes Shri Ashish Kumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, Bombay Stock Exchange & Chancellor University of Allahabad, Prof. Pawan Kumar Singh, Director, IIM Tiruchirappalli, Prof. Pramod Kumar Jain, Director, IIT BHU, Prof. Subhasis Choudhuri, Director, IIT Bombay, Shri Pradeep Goyal, CMD, M/s Pradeep Metals.

A significant milestone was achieved by NITIE Mumbai on 12 July 2023 when the Union Cabinet approved the amendment in the IIM Act, designating NITIE Mumbai as the 21st IIM and renaming it as IIM Mumbai.

On July 28, 2023, The Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Bill, 2023 was introduced in Lok Sabha by Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The bill (No. 109 of Year 2023) mentions that: In section 4 of the Indian Institutes of Management Act, 2017 after sub-section (1), the following sub-section shall be inserted, namely:—

"(1A) On and from the date of commencement of the Indian Institutes of Management (Amendment) Act, 2023, the National Institute of Industrial Engineering, Mumbai, shall be called the ‘‘Indian Institute of Management, Mumbai’’ and all the provisions of this Act shall apply to the said Institute."
