S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) is a constituent of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan and is recognised[1][2] as one of the premier business schools of India. The Institute grew rapidly in eminence from one of the three B-schools in Mumbai in 1981 to one of the top ten B-schools in the country by 1994-1995. The Philosophical pillars upon which rests the edifice of SPJIMR’s educational pedagogy and development are Influencing Practice and Promoting value-based growth

SPJIMR sits on a sprawling 45 acre campus in the western suburbs of Andheri in Mumbai. The Institute has an annual intake of some 700 students under various programmes. Its oldest programme is the two year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), which attracts some 70 applications for every seat. SPJIMR runs a Post Graduate Family Managed Business (PGFMB) programme, the 15 month Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), the Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP), the Post Graduate Certificate in International Management (PGCIM) programme, the Post Graduate Certificate in Development Management (PGCDM) programme. The Institute runs several shorter term programmes like the PMP Preparatory Programme, the Post Graduate Certificate in Advanced Project Management, Doing Business in India (DBI), Start Your Business (SYB) and Grow Your Business (GYB).

History

Inaugurated in 1981 by the then British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, SPJIMR had modest beginnings as a small extension of the campus of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.[3] The institute was named after Sahu Shreyans Prasad Jain of the Sahu Jain family, who financed the institution in its early years. At the time of its establishment, SPJIMR was among the three business schools in Mumbai.[4] After the financing from the Sahu Jain family stopped, the institute disaffiliated itself from Bombay University to provide itself with more freedom in curriculum decision-making and pedagogy design.[citation needed]

Post Graduate Diploma in Management

SPJIMR’s Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM)[5] is a two year full-time residential programme equivalent to an MBA. The programme offers specialisations in Finance, Operations, Marketing and Information Management.The programme has consistently been ranked among the top 10 in the country.It is accredited by AICTE.[6] Also Our other global linkages support an overall learning environment that builds among participants a global outlook. It prepares them to face challenges and exploit opportunities in a globalised economy that is marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity – the so-called VUCA world. SPJIMR has introduced an international immersion programme called the ‘Global Fast Track’ (GFT) where participants will travel to a globally top-ranked B-School, in order to gain cutting-edge inputs in their area of specialisation. The programme considers CAT, XAT and GMAT scores for admission but places more emphasis on academic performance, versatility in extracurricular activities and relevant work experience.[citation needed]

The programme has seen much pedagogical experimentation over the years, including social projects and business plans,[7][8] use of theatre to learn management,[9] Assessment and Development of Managerial Potential (ADMAP, a programme where students participate in the administration of the college)[10] and India-specific cases.[11] SPJIMR does not have a traditional summer internship projects like most other Indian B-schools.[12] Instead, the students are required to work with NGOs in the rural areas during the summer as part of their Development of Corporate Citizenship (DOCC) projects. Corporate internships happen during autumn instead.[13]

The Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), formerly known as Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), is a 15 months (3 months of foundation coureses through web learning), full-time residential programme accredited by the Association of MBAs.[14][15] It offers specialisations in Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Information Management. The specialisations are chosen at the time of admission. The programme admits working professionals from domains and leading industries to enable knowledge sharing and peer learning. The unique aspect of the programme is its focus on the specific role and domain of interest to the participant. The programme considers CAT, XAT and GMAT scores but places more emphasis on academic performance, versatility in extracurricular activities and a minimum work experience of five years. The course starts in January and ends in December. Admission process typically starts in June with interviews scheduled through August.

Executive Management Programme

The Executive Management Programme (EMP) is a non-residential programme, for working professionals, similar to an EMBA, with 60 full-day classes on campus, spread over 21 months and contact sessions. The programme considers graduates with minimum five years of experience along with a good track record. The programme mandates the support of the candidate's company.[16]

Family Managed Business programme

The Family Managed Business (FMB) programme is designed for candidates to lead their family businesses. The duration of the program is two years and includes a foreign visit. The participants spent a week at the institute to learn and the remaining three weeks of the month at their workplace, to apply the learning. The duration of the Owner Manager Programme is only twelve months. The programme considers graduate candidates with a significant stake in a family business. Selection requires sponsorship from the business, a test and a personal interview. The degree awarded is a Post Graduate Programme in Management.

SPJIMR offers (or has offered in the past) other short term programmes such as:

  • Start Your Business (SYB)

  • Program in Political Governance for Women (PPGW)
  • Management Development Programmes (MDPs) for specific sectors (such as the NGOs)

Other programmes

Over the years, SPJIMR has entered into collaboration with many corporate entities, academic organisations and non-profits to offer specialised programmes, seminars, workshops and symposiums. The process of course design and deployment is done in collaboration with the industry. For example, in 2003, it rolled out a course on service management by incorporating feedback and guest faculty support from GE,[17][18] while in 2007, it partnered with Patni Computer Systems to create specialised courses in the area of Supply Chain Management.[19]

In 2004, SPJIMR partnered with Virginia Tech to offer a two-year programme titled PGDSM- MIT, which led to a Master's Degree in Information Technology from Virginia Tech and Post Graduate Diploma in Systems Management from SPJIMR.[20] The course had to be later discontinued, since AICTE did not approve this campus-sharing model between Virginia Tech and SPJIMR. The same year, it partnered with Motilal Oswal Securities to conduct a course on equity research.[21] Also in 2004, the institute launched a six-month diploma programme, Women and Political Governance, aimed at educating women who plan to join politics.[22] The course was jointly created by the Times Foundation, Women's Movement for Peace and Prosperity (WMPP) and SPJIMR.

In 2007, SPJIMR signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Standard Chartered bank to introduce a special training programme on corporate banking for graduates through Bhavan's Centre for Inter Disciplinary Studies (BCIDS).[23]

In 2010, the York University's Schulich School of Business launched a new Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program at SPJIMR.[24][25]
