Dear MBA Aspirant,

Thank you for considering SPJIMR for this vital milestone of your life. Getting into the right

B-school is paramount. While this Brochure will provide you with enough information about

SPJIMR, let me share with you the fundamentals that make SPJIMR what it is. It is likely that

you have selected SPJIMR because of its consistent rank amongst the top ten B-schools in

India. It is possible that superior placement have attracted your attention. Not that these

facts are not important, but what is more relevant is that we are unique in several respects.

Our endeavour is to ensure that the SPJIMR experience is a significant long-term value

addition to an individual's career, indeed his/her entire life, and is not merely placement as

an end in itself. This more lasting objective calls for resolving three contradictions that we

believe we have successfully addressed.

A synthesis of western values of efficiency - a concern for ends, and eastern values and

ethos – an equal concern for means.

Co-existence of collaborative and competitive modes - striving for individual excellence

and yet reinforcing the 'group culture' through daily activities.

Commitment to material advancement - with sensitivity to distributive-justice.

Our selection process depends to a large extent on the softer skills of a person, and not

merely on IQ or for that matter, work experience. To us while a sharp mind is important,

more so is a curious and sensitive one, backed by rich values and integrity. Hence

selection has a lot to do with interviews, besides “CAT scores” and other facts sought

through application forms.

Finally the Institute is an integrated human organism of faculty, administration, and student

participants actively involved in administration and developing the Institute towards

attaining higher levels of excellence. This is a constant ongoing exercise and that's what

the SPJIMR experience is all about.

This Institute is what it is today because of students as much as anything else. If you concur

with the above, let us explore the possibility of being together. Good luck for your future

plans.

About SPJIMR

S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) is a

constituent unit of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, which was founded

in 1938 by the then Kulpati Dr. K.M. Munshi and 53 other eminent

professionals. Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan is registered under the Societies

Registration Act XXI of 1860 and the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950. It is

a trust of repute and eminence and is universally recognized for its

educational as well as cultural activities.

SPJIMR grew rapidly in eminence from one of the three B-schools in the

country in 1981 to one of the top ten B-schools in the country by 1994-

1995. Since then, it has continued to retain this position during the last

the last decade.

The bold move to disaffiliate SPJIMR from the then Bombay University

to have freedom in course curriculum, pedagogic innovations and

pioneering programmers in under managed sectors was a beginning of

its journey to achieve the mandate it has given itself in terms of unique

innovative and distinct path in management education

SPJIMR recognizes its twin roles as a responsible member of Bharatiya

Vidya Bhavan and responsive member of the Indian society at large and

looks at itself in a wider context 'beyond MBA' institution by engaging

itself in socially relevant segments of the Indian society.

In all its activities, SPJIMR emphasizes the twin objectives of 'Influencing

Practice' and 'Promoting Value-based Growth' SPJIMR will attempt to

influence organizations through its participants from various programs /

activities, thus acquiring recognition as an influential member in Indian

society in the field of management education.

Today, SPJIMR has to its credit five centers with multifarious activities,

two-year full time Post Graduate Diploma in Management, a 11 month

full time post graduate program for experienced professionals and a few

continuing executive education programmes.

SPJIMR self financed management institute with entrepreneurial agility,

personal freedom with professional accountability and corporatized

culture, structure and processes. “A hundred times everyday I

remind myself that my inner and

outer life depend on the labors of

other men, living and dead. And

that I must exert myself in order

to give in the same measure that

I have received and am still

receiving.”

- Albert Einstein

“The essential spring of all

growth is within you. All that

you can get from without is some

food - material or spiritual- with

which to build your organism,

and some stimulus to spur you to

activity. What is really essential

in your development, you must

do for yourself.”

- Alfred North Whitehead

About PGDM

Ranked among the top ten in the country, the emphasis is to develop in

the candidate the ability to translate theory into practice. It aims at

promoting an inquiring & analytical mind, which proactively seeks the

right knowledge, acquires the appropriate skills and promotes the right

attitude to develop capabilities needed to manage enterprises in the

twenty-first century.

SPJIMR is not affiliated to any university and is completely autonomous.

This status has given the institute the ability to utilize academic freedom

to develop trend-setting educational programmes and pedagogic

processes with long-term benefits for all stakeholders.

At SPJIMR, we focus on Attitudes (To Be) and Skills (To Do) aspects of

management education as much as Knowledge (To Know) aspect.

Though due importance is given to classroom learning, the effort is

made to build suitable stimuli into non-classroom learning, on which the

participants can base their own self-development architecture. The

Institute has an enviable track record of recognizing the needs of the

society, quickly and aptly responding by offering high quality relevant

programmes.

Curriculum par excellence

The flagship PGDM program at SPJIMR is designed around courses which

strengthen the knowledge, skills and attitude essential for a successful

manager. These courses have been inspired from leading western business

schools like Harvard, MIT and Stanford and are regularly benchmarked against

the top business schools in the country. The content is frequently updated to

meet the best global standards and demands of the industry. Courses are

piloted by top-notch faculty, people for whom their profession is their passion.

Courses like ADMAP (Assessment & Development of Managerial

&Administrative Potential) are designed to inculcate administrative skills in the

participants, the budding managers, through practice in an 'action learning

laboratory' setting. Participants contribute to various institution processes like

admissions, benchmarking of course structure, public relations, instilling

entrepreneurial instincts, organizing competitions, placements and many

more by being a part of numerous committees. A great emphasis is laid on

sensitizing participants to the social needs and unique initiatives such as

DOCC (Development of Corporate Citizenship) and Abhudaya form the pillars

to help attain this goal.

The pedagogy is a mix of lectures, classroom discussions, peer learning, case

studies, simulations, project work ,group studies and participation in national

and international events and competitions.. Various case studies from the best

B-schools like Harvard are taken up for discussions giving a realistic picture to

the theoretical inputs. A wide array of subjects leads to the participant

becoming proficient in not only his / her specialization but also other areas of

importance like finance, entrepreneurship, operations and management,

information technology, catering to the needs of business environment.

SPJIMR uses a grading system in all its evaluation methods comprising

quizzes, assignments, case analyses, project work, internships, mid-terms and

comprehensive examinations.

We start-off with a one month foundation course which deals with some basic

fundamentals of subjects taken-up in the subsequent months. The first year

curriculum aims at strengthening the fundamentals in all areas of functional

management and provides a holistic perspective of general management. The

second year curriculum is based on a chosen area of specialization and is

customized to the participant's career aspirations and industry requirements.

At SPJIMR, equal emphasis is laid on soft skills. Proper communication and

behavioral tendencies are groomed through open discussions and working in

groups. Simulations form a major part of the curriculum giving an exact feel of

the business environment. Care is taken to see that the course is in line with the

values of the Institute, as is evident from the importance attached to courses

like Business Ethics and Gita Shibir, which relates management with the

Bhagvad Gita.

Management by objectives is the central key to all learning; each subject seeks

to fulfill a certain objective as the participant is groomed for a successful

management career.

Beyond Class Room Learning

A proactive and formally planned programme for developing attitudes and skills-completing the three aspects of management capability

development has been firmly institutionalized within SPJIMR's beyond classroom curriculum through a variety of pedagogical innovations.

Abhyudaya (Growing Together)

Abhyudaya program is a pedagogic innovation aimed at preparing PGDM participants of

SPJIMR for top management roles, as part of the curriculum. It aims at changing the attitude of

the participants from the self-centred approach to a service orientation.

The Program requires PGDM participants to mentor underprivileged children (whom we call

'Sitaras') dwelling in slums and studying in BMC Schools, to bring about a holistic development

of the Sitaras. In turn it teaches the MBA Students lessons of life by sensitizing them towards

urban poverty and encouraging them to do their bit for the society and also impart Leadership &

Mentorship Skills through experiential learning.

t r a n s f o r m

ADMAP ( )

DOCC (Development of Corporate Citizenship)

Assessment & Development of Managerial & Administrative Potential

This is an indigenously developed initiative of S.P. Jain where the participants choose for either an institute committee to work on during first year of their

program. It is learning administration by doing, by getting things done. This

presupposes working in a team with people of varying individual goals but

working towards a common organizational purpose. It acts as a laboratory to test

the theories. The outcome is a rich learning experience of managing people,

resources and systems.

DOCC was initiated at SPJIMR with a view to bring management education closer

to reality in the Indian context. Our aim is to inculcate attitudes and values in future

managers by sensitizing the participants to the realities of the under-privileged. It

also helps the NGO sector to strengthen their management by improving

effectiveness and efficiency through seminars, workshops and publications.

Every participant undertakes a project with any organization working in the social

sector, for e.g. NGOs the Government of India schemes, for a period of 6 weeks at

the end of first year. Projects over the years have spanned sectors like primary

education, healthcare, information systems in rural areas etc.

Autumn Project

PG Lab (Personal Growth)

The second year curriculum provides a sharper focus, allowing customization to an individual's specific career aspirations through the concept of

autumn projects. Under this concept, the candidates work on live projects with the corporate for a period of 8 weeks during the 2nd year after completing

one trimester of their specialization. The autumn project includes domestic as well as international internships. It gives them an exposure to real life

organizational situations, drawing parallels between management theory and

practice. It also helps them to select a specific industry or sector to work with in

the future.

Our participants, armed with the maturity and experience, gained from the

rigorous curriculum and experiential learning process, have richly contributed to

the organizations in terms of conceptual inputs

Believing in innovative pedagogical innovations, SPJIMR conducts the Personal

Growth Lab (PG Lab) that strives for experiential and lifelong learning for the

PGDM participants. The PG Lab is designed to make participants understand

themselves, their strengths, attitudes and personality through various activities,

that includes ice-breaker events, group tasks, team building games, trekking

etc., so as to make the participants appreciate team dynamics thereby learn the

skills needed for effective and synergetic team work.

Anandwan (The Age of Innocence)

Anandwan is a noble initiative, started by Baba Amte, to treat and rehabilitate

leprosy victims from the disadvantaged sections of society. Today it is not just a

shelter for these patients, but serves the livelihood of 3500 people, serving the

blind, deaf and dumb. It is a self-sufficient village with people engaged in more

than 100 different occupations. All they need from outside is oil, petrol, salt and

sugar. Year after year, Anandwan has been inviting the students of SPJIMR,

silently though, through the special bonding both the organizations fondly share.

It is through these unique initiatives taken up by the Institute that makes SPJIMR a

premier Management School.

Gita Shibir (Management by Gita)

This is another unique experience at SPJIMR. It's a course in which participants and faculty conducts a series of discussions on religious scriptures and

their relevance with the current management thinking. The participants learn how the concept of dharma can be applied to our daily lives as well as the

corporate world. Such discussions, embedded with discourses from renowned gurus, broaden the vision of participants and enables them to appreciate

eastern ethos.12

Difficulty is an excuse history never accepts. While much has been speculated about the job scenario in today's challenging times and its impact on the

exalted histories of B-school placements, SPJIMR is creating a unique mark by crafting what seems like a perfect culmination of its PGDM course.

With the global economy still recovering from the recession, the institute ensured a successful placement for the PGDM class of 2011 with the placements

better than 2008 levels (the boom year), garnering support from its influential alumni network and making use of its relationship with over 1200

companies.

76 companies visited the campus giving 242 offers to the 175 participants in PGDM Class of 2011, with 17 of these companies being

first-time recruiters.

season also saw participants bagging foreign offers in the areas of consulting and financial sector. One student deferred participating in placements to

explore his own venture.

Ojas which means luster and shine in Sanskrit brings the campus alive in the month of December. It is a congregation of diverse management and cultural events, involving participation of the country's best brains. It is an event that stands for sheer fun, talent and the germination of a rich pool of ideas and thoughts.

The battle for power is on – it's the ultimate fight to reach the top. It is the clash of the titans – only the smartest, the wittiest, the craziest and the sharpest mind wins. In this war, surviving is the matter. You pit your skills against the best minds from colleges across the country and hold a chance to emerge as the Chosen one.

Dream merchants is a mega event conducted under the banner of Ojas 3.0 where you can scan the horizon to determine how business could have the same kind of prospects & standards as you do so that you can cooperate with them in joint marketing and advertising efforts.

“We all have big chances in our lives that are more or less a second chance”. The second innings is an event that would challenge the brightest marketing minds in the best B- schools of the country. The event is based on redesigning a launch campaign for products which could not make their mark in the minds of the Indian consumer.

Started 7 years back as a voluntary non-classroom initiative it has almost become a way of life at SPJIMR today. GASP (Guild of Actors@SP) was initiated under the aegis of the ADMAP (Assessment and Development of Managerial and Administrative Potential) Program in the year 2003. This confluence of theatre and management is a platform where participants use theatre to put to use the various

management and administrative principles they learn during the course. As the years have progressed, GASP has become an expression of SPJIMR's creative and theatrical identity. Planned, driven and executed entirely by students, it is an annual event where the new PGDM batch displays its mettle at conducting and acting in a full play staged at the SPJIMR auditorium for all its family members.

SPRINT is the Annual National Inter B-School sporting extravaganza at SPJIMR that showcases a grand show of some of the best sporting activities at a national level, by the future managers. It was a part of their learning of managing people, operations management, marketing management and also management of finance. Initially conceptualized as a sporting event for leading B-schools in the western zone, SPRINT has established itself as a Pioneer at hosting the best of athletics that the premier B-schools in India have to offer, in the years to come.
