Among the management schools set up within this IIT system, the Vinod Gupta School of Management (VGSOM) was the first one and even today holds the highest position among all the management schools.
VGSOM is a unique school as its courses are a combination of management and technology so that the students got an understanding of both principles. Graduates from this institute are trained in handling technical issues with as much aplomb as managerial issues.
