Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's S. P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) is rated among the top ten B-schools in the country. Inaugurated in 1981 by the then British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, it has moved from strength to strength due to its innovative pedagogic approach and its ability to adapt to the changing business environment. The Institute has produced one of the most acclaimed Post Graduate Programmes in the country: a result of SPJIMR's linkages with industry and state-of-the-art teaching material inspired from leading Western Business Schools like Harvard, MIT and Stanford.
