==History== The 11th Five-Year Plan,<ref name="MHRD notification"/> endorsed by the National Development Council in December 2007, envisaged the establishment of six new IIMs.

IIM Ranchi is an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Human Resources Development. The institute is free to design its own curriculum and recruit faculty members. In April 2011, Union Minister Kapil Sibal announced that the government allowed them to select the director and the chairman of the board of directors. IIM Ranchi is among the six new IIMs that were approved by the Union Cabinet on 27 August 2009. M. J. Xavier was the founding director of the institute.

The construction of a permanent campus has begun at Birhar village on the Khunti–Karra road, about {{convert|35|km}} from Ranchi. In July 2013, the Jharkhand government allotted {{convert|90.14|acre}} of land free of charge to IIM Ranchi at Cheri in Kanke block, 20 km from Ranchi.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ojha |first=Sanjay |date=13 July 2013 |title=IIM-Ranchi gets free land for campus |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-07-13/news/40553640_1_nagri-land-government-land-fertile-land |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130717192901/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-07-13/news/40553640_1_nagri-land-government-land-fertile-land |archive-date=2013-07-17 |work=The Times of India}}</ref> On 29 July 2013, Union Minister of Human Resource Development Shri Pallam Raju laid the foundation stone of IIM-Ranchi at Cheri.<ref>{{cite news |last=Mukesh |first=A.S.R.P. |date=30 July 2013 |title=IIM-R gets a home |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130730/jsp/frontpage/story_17172617.jsp#.UfbvV9L-Hmk |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130802120609/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1130730/jsp/frontpage/story_17172617.jsp#.UfbvV9L-Hmk |archive-date=2 August 2013 |work=The Telegraph |location=Calcutta, India}}</ref>

The programme received more than 500 applications from India, out of which a cohort of 95 youngsters participated in the 3-day event on the IIM Ranchi campus.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Sahay |first=Sanjay |date=2023-05-29 |title=Students' study tour on tribal problems ends |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/students-study-tour-on-tribal-problems-ends/articleshow/100579397.cms |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231102113119/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/students-study-tour-on-tribal-problems-ends/articleshow/100579397.cms |archive-date=2 November 2023 |access-date=2024-03-05 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257 }}</ref>

===Rankings=== {{Infobox India university ranking |type=Institute |NIRF_B_2024=17}}

IIM Ranchi was ranked 18 by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) management ranking in 2025.<ref name="Rankings_NIRF_B_2025" /> The institute made a decent recovery from its 2023 rank. It had fallen from 15th rank in 2022 to 24th in 2023, due to a variety of factors, such as the shift to its permanent campus and the subsequent loss of world-class sports facility available at Khelgaon.
