About SPJIMR

S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) started in 1981 as the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Institute of Management Studies, set up by the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan trust, an educational body founded in 1938 by Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher laid its foundation stone in April 1981. The institute later took the name of industrialist Shreyans Prasad Jain, and became an autonomous institute, separate from the University of Mumbai, in 1992.

The campus sits inside the larger Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan campus at Munshi Nagar, Dadabhai Road, Andheri West, Mumbai — about 45 acres shared with other Bhavan's institutions. SPJIMR also runs a Delhi Centre on Kasturba Gandhi Marg for executive and short-duration programmes.

The institute's stated mission is to influence practice and promote value-based growth, under the motto "Let noble thoughts come to us from every side". Social-sector work is built into the full-time PGDM rather than left as an elective: the Development of Corporate Citizenship (DoCC) sends students to work with grassroots and non-profit organisations, mostly in rural India, and Abhyudaya pairs students with children from low-income Mumbai families for mentoring — a programme that won a FICCI Higher Education Excellence Award in 2025.

The flagship two-year, full-time PGDM is recognised by the Association of Indian Universities as equivalent to a master's degree. Alongside it, SPJIMR runs a two-year diploma in business management, an 18-month PGPM for experienced professionals (with a Restart track for women returning to work after a career break), a programme for members of family-managed businesses, and a doctoral Fellow Programme in Management.

SPJIMR holds the AACSB (2018), EQUIS (2024) and AMBA accreditations and is an autonomous Category-I institution under AICTE. Its PGDM was ranked 26th globally and 2nd in India in the FT Masters in Management 2026, its seventh straight year in the FT's global top 50; the PGPM entered the FT Global MBA 2026 ranking at 74th, the highest new entrant that year. Shortlisting for the PGDM runs on two tracks — a profile-based call before CAT/GMAT results, and a profile-cum-score call afterwards — rather than on a single cutoff score, and candidates apply into one of four specialisations: Finance, Marketing, Operations, or Information Management & Analytics.
