Goa Institute of Management

Goa Institute of Management was founded by Fr. Romuald D'Souza, the Jesuit educationist behind several Indian business schools, and operates from a residential hilltop campus at Sanquelim in rural north Goa. The two-year PGDM is the flagship, admitting through CAT, XAT and other national tests, with a healthcare-management specialisation among its distinctive offerings. The location is a genuine trade-off: the campus is self-contained and scenic, but Goa has little corporate base, so internships and placements depend on recruiters travelling in — which established relationships largely ensure. Campus life is close-knit and fully residential by design. It holds a NIRF rank of 36 in management and an A+ NAAC grade. It suits candidates wanting an immersive residential PGDM with a tight cohort, away from metro distractions, and comfortable with a remote setting.
