Campuses

Heritage campus

The campus was initially situated on the banks of the Mandovi River, in the Santa Casa de Misericordia in Ribandar. The building in which the school is housed is supposed to be one of the earliest hospitals in India and was converted from a hospital building to a business school campus in 1993. The 2011 batch was the last full-time batch to pass out from this campus. Now the campus is used only for conducting PGDM–Part Time courses.

Sanquelim campus

From the year 2010, GIM shifted most of its academic courses to a new state-of-the-art campus located around 23 kilometers from the old one. The new campus at Sanquelim in Bicholim Taluka is located on a sprawling 50-acre plot surrounded by the idyllic foothills of the Western Ghats. The entire project cost has been estimated at approximately Rs 63 crore. The new campus was inaugurated by Ashok Ganguly, Rajya Sabha MP and former chairman of Hindustan Lever Ltd on 24 March 2012.[5]

The Sanquelim campus is primarily divided into the following an admin block, a faculty block and an academic block.[6]
