Actual construction can start after receiving of statutory approvals from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC). The hostel building shall  have  about  926  students.

The  curriculum  in  the  management  programmes  is  designed  to offer cutting edge courses. There is generous research funding to support research initiatives. There  are  also  monetary  incentives  to  increase  the  quality  and  quantity  of  research  and teaching.  The  faculty  also  contribute  to  the  Executive  Education  activities  for  industry connect  and  resource  generation  of  the  institute.  All  these  helps  to  attract  and  retain  high quality talent in the face of global and private sector competition.
