Sri Balaji Society (SBS) ensures quality and commitment to the students’ community. The society believes that each and every student has the potential to be groomed to have a successful corporate career. The goal has always been to direct the right candidates to the right jobs through right training and development. The same has been achieved to a large extent as can be seen from the record of campus placements of our management institutes. Within a decade of its existence, Balaji Institute of Modern Management (BIMM), formerly known as Indian Institute of Modern Management (IIMM) – the first B-School of Sri Balaji Society has been ranked amongst the top eleven private B-Schools in the country.
Prof. (Col.) A. Balasubramanian – President, Sri Balaji Society, Pune
The sister institutions viz. Balaji Institute of Telecom & management (BITM), Balaji Institute of International Business (BIIB) & Balaji Institute of Management and Human Resource Development (BIMHRD) are also amongst the best B-Schools in the country and enjoy very good campus placements. All these four institutes viz. BIMM, BITM, BIIB and BIMHRD are approved by AICTE, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India. In excess of 1200 students from these four management Institutes of Sri Balaji Society have been placed in the industry by December or January every year although they are due to pass out only in May and June. This track record has encouraged the institute to initiate bolder and more innovative training methods with active support from the corporate stalwarts and the industry. The two have recognized the sincerity and seriousness to the cause of growth and development of students who are excelling in the industry and are proving themselves to be fast trackers.
The excellent faculties, an environment conducive for students, good infrastructure and stimulating atmosphere in the campus enable students to dream and work hard to achieve their goals. It should be noted that being a creative, experimenting and unconventional B-School, the course curriculum is constantly updated and this has increased the workload for students. We treat time as the most precious resource. Therefore, classes, exercises and examinations may be scheduled around the clock for longer hours and hence students are required to go through rigorous, hectic and a grooming or training process for 365 days. We don’t believe in the concept of holidays as two years is a short period to impart all the skills, knowledge and competencies. Therefore, only those who are medically fit to undergo rigorous and hectic schedule should seek admission. Positive attitude is another requisite that the society desires.
aDiscipline, Dedication and Determinationa are the instituteas core values. While there is a paternalistic approach adopted in matters of welfare and mentoring, undisciplined students are dealt with an iron hand. SBS is run on the lines of an industry and rules and regulations are considered to be supreme. Therefore, students are requested to go through the instructions published in this prospectus and to make their choice. Admission in any of the societyas B-schools would mean the right step to ultimately land up in corporate careers.
