Indian's premier B-school, IIM-A, has been invited by the Egyptian government to set up a campus in Cairo.

"On invitation from the government of Egypt and subsequent discussions, the IIM, Ahmedabad, board is expected to approve the proposal for setting up a campus in Cairo when land and other infrastructure facilities are made available," said a source close to the institute's board on Friday.

The government of Egypt has been pursuing the proposal for some months but the institute could not apply its mind to it because of the drawn out controversy over fees.
