About IIM
The idea of formation of Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) was conceived as early as in 1945. However, the institute took final shape in the year 1947. Since then, the institute has seen phenomenal growth. The scope of the Institute includes activities encompassing the whole gamut of metallurgical processing research and advancements. This professional body caters to the needs of Metallurgical engineers and Material Scientists at large who are working in the areas of mineral beneficiation, extraction, fabrication, heat treatment, finishing as well as practical and theoretical aspects of all ferrous and nonferrous metals and alloys, ceramics, composites and other disciplines. The activities of the institute include organizing national and international technical conferences and programs, conducting qualifying examinations, publications etc. Starting with a modest membership of 42, the IIM membership now stands at more than 10,000 drawn from various fields of metallurgical activities. The institute has grown into a reputed Institution and is now recognized throughout the world as one of the Premier Metallurgical Organizations.
