IIM Sambalpur to Become First Institute in Country to Introduce AI-Enabled Teaching

Mahadeo Jaiswal, Director, IIM Sambalpur, said that the introduction of AI-enabled classroom instruction will change the role of teachers, who will shift from teaching to creating and learning. The objective of this is to usher in the transformative learning experience for the students, he said. IIM Sambalpur, which began with just 49 MBA students in 2015, now has a strength of 320 MBA students.

Sambalpur (Odisha): IIM Sambalpur is going to be the first educational institution in the country to implement AI teaching in the classroom. AI classroom instruction is a digital platform. IIM Sambalpur is taking support of an American company for this.

In this technology, the students will first see videos and read by themselves. After that, the AI ​​professor will monitor how much the students have understood. After taking a test, if someone is found not understanding something, the students will be told if they don't study well, they will fail. And there will be no human professor or faculty in the class during this process, so the technology will replace a human professor or faculty.

Speaking on this, IIM Sambalpur Director Mahadeo Pajari Jaiswal said that their institute is going to implement AI technology in the field of education as the first educational institution in the country. Through this process, the learning capacity of students will increase, he said.
