Dean's Message
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 in every poll. It is possible that superior placement, the best in Mumbai, 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.
n A synthesis of western values of efficiency - a concern for ends, and eastern values and

ethos an equal concern for means.

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

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

n 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, on 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

inspire

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.

Dr. M. L. Shrikant (DBA, Harvard) Hon. Dean

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 19941995. Since then, it has continued to retain this position with ease during 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 socially 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 and a few continuing executive education programmes. It has also made its presence felt in global arena and has truly become a larger than B-school. SPJIMR is an autonomous management institute with entrepreneurial agility that has made it totally self-financing, 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

Philosophical Pillars

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

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. Subjects 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. Through Projects, participants get an opportunity to work for the live projects of the government functionalities and under the aegis of the likes of the Commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. A great emphasis is laid on sensitizing participants to the socialneeds and unique initiatives such as DOCC (Development of Corporate Citizenship) and Abhudaya form the pillars to help attain this goal. Prominent amongst the initiatives taken by the Institute is also a Personal Growth Lab in Lonavala which is a four day trip of self discovery through a mix of learning and fun, with team activities and adventure sports. The popularity of this event is such that alumni, who passed out more than a decade ago, still reminisce it and wish to be a part of it again. The pedagogy is a mix of lectures, classroom discussions, case studies, simulations, project work and group studies. 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. This is spread over 3 trimesters. 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 troika of management capability development has been firmly institutionalized within SPJIMR's beyond classroom curriculum through a variety of vehicles.

ADMAP (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 or a BMC project to work on during the 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.

Development of Corporate Citizenship (DOCC)

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. Participants are expected to undertake a project with any organization working in the social sector, for ex. 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.

Abhyudaya (Growing Together)

transform

Is a pedagogic innovation to provide a non classroom experiential learning experience to PGDM participants during their management program. It is our belief at the institute that development of future leaders having character and integrity can be achieved by facilitating in them the right attitudes and sensitizing participants to poverty, moral dilemmas and unstructured environment. Every participant takes up mentorship of a bright student from the economically weaker section to help them reach greater heights in their career and help to their community and family in return. We as mentors play the role of a catalyst to fully realize the potential of the 'Sitaras', as we call our mentees. This process of mentoring not only helps develop competencies required for further career development, but also enables one to evolve as a complete individual.

Autumn Project
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.

PG Lab (Personal Growth)

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.
