1. WELCOME TO INDIA

1.1 Welcome!

Unity in diversity has been the distinctive feature of India. We are home for diverse

cultures, religion and communities. Being one of the oldest civilizations of the world,

Indian history spans more than 4,500 years. Indian socio-economic development has

been centred on its rich cultural history and strong familial bonds.Its pristine

mountains, sprawling landscape and rivers is a much sought after tourist destination

and the large consumer base and talent pool makes it a hub for IT, trade and

commerce.

Urban India portrays a beautiful amalgamation of the old and the new. It still has its

roots deep dug into traditional Indian family setups and value systems but at the

same time is also developing and globalizing at a blinding speed. It is a mix of ideas,

people, modernity and heritage that makes India so unique.

So here’s hoping that you have a wonderful time exploring this truly incredible

country and have a very pleasant stay.

1.2 How to reach IMT Ghaziabad

IMT Ghaziabad campus is 45 Km or 90

Indian banks) that you may carry to India. However, if the total amount of Indian

currency is equivalent to or exceeds USD 10,000 then you need to
