Overview
About Kousali Institute of Management Studies, Karnatak University, Dharwad
Kousali Institute of Management Studies, Karnatak University, Dharwad is a management college in Dharwad, Karnataka, established in 1976. It is affiliated to Karnatak University, Dharwad. Kousali Institute of Management Studies, Karnatak University, Dharwad offers 2 programmes at postgraduate level. They are MBA (Regular) and MBA (Logistics Management). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 60 seats. Official KUD pages identify Kousali Institute of Management Studies as a Karnatak University unit in Dharwad. The programme page lists a two-year regular MBA with 60 seats and a three-year evening MBA with 40 seats; the admission page states that 60 students are admitted annually through KEA and all 60 are under the government quota. These figures are from undated/current-presented institute pages and are not confirmed as a 2026-27 AICTE EoA or KEA seat-matrix publication. The faculty page lists five professors and one assistant professor. The official MBA syllabus specifies a four-semester Choice Based Credit System with 100 credits; the evening course structure is six semesters. No official attendance minimum, medium of instruction, 2026-27 approval document, or exact computer-lab count was found in the cited material. KIMS is explicitly described by Karnatak University as a management department/unit of the university, not an independent affiliated college. The official university report states that the institute had lost AICTE approval because of building and infrastructure problems; therefore no current 2026-27 AICTE approval, Permanent Id or approved intake is asserted here. The same report says the institute is housed in the Natural History Museum Building on the main campus. The university's 2023-24-onwards affiliated-college PDF does not list KIMS, consistent with its constituent university-department status. Official programme information lists a two-year regular MBA, a three-year evening MBA, Ph.D. and postgraduate diplomas.
