The Department of Management Sciences (DoMS) (erstwhile Department of Industrial and Management Engineering), IIT Kanpur, is first of its kind in the country to leverage the analytical education of engineers to train them into management professionals. Established as an interdisciplinary program in 1974, it subsequently evolved as a full-fledged department in 1988 and given the diversity of its programs from MBA, MTech, PhD, eMasters etc., has metamorphosed into the Department of Management Sciences (DoMS) from Department of Industrial and Management Engineering (DIME).
