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.

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, 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

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 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 course curriculum has been designed keeping in mind the latest

standards of the industry and taking the candidate a long way ahead of

others in their personal and professional life.

Quite a few subjects bring out clear relevance in today's scenario where

there is cut throat competition. Subjects like ADMAP is all about learning

administration, we even get hands on experience by being a part of the

institute's processes be it admissions, setting of course structures,

creating the college website, instilling entrepreneurial instincts,

organising competitions, the placement process and many more.

Through projects students get to have a live experience into the

workings of the government functionalities, under the aegis of the

commissioner of BMC.

International standards have been kept in mind. Various case studies

from the best B schools like Harvard are taken up for discussions giving

a realistic picture to the theoretical inputs from different subjects. It is

reviewed and upgraded every year by our esteemed Dean and other

faculty for practical relevance and theoretical intensity.

A wide array of subjects leads to the student becoming proficient in not

only his/her specialization but also other areas of importance. The areas

includefinance,entrepreneurship,operationsandmanagement, information

technology catering to the business environment, strategic marketing.

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

basic fundamentals of subjects taken up in the subsequent months. The

1st year being common to all aims to build the fundamentals of the above

mentioned areas. This is spread over 3 trimesters. The 2nd year then

puts across the challenges to the student in his interest area, further

refining his managerial capabilities.

Subjects aim to give an overall picture of the inside organization

economics relevance and that on a global scale. Honing of not only the

administrative and managerial skills is undertaken but equal emphasis

is also laid on soft skills. Proper communication and behavioural

tendencies are groomed through open discussions and working in

groups. Simulations form a major part of the curriculum; they give an

exact feel of the business environment.

Great emphasis has been laid on business ethics; this is what forms the

foundation of all our students. Management by objectives is the central

key to all learnings; each subject seeks to fulfill a certain objective with

respect to the student being groomed for management.

ADMAP (Assessment and Development of Managerial Abilities & Potential)

Development of Corporate Citizenship (DOCC)

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.

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.

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.

Abhyudaya (Growing Together)

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

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.13

Difficulty is an excuse history never accepts. While much has been speculated about the job scenario in today's turbulent 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.

Current economic times notwithstanding, the institute ensured a successful placement season for the PGDM class of 2009

garnering support from its influential alumni network and making use of its relationship with over 1200 companies.

The institute has always stressed on quality roles and profiles for its participants. While the average salary offered was

more than Rs. 10 lakhs per annum and highest being Rs. 25 lakhs per annum, participants chose profiles that best fit their

career interests.

Placements 2009

r u l e

15

Financial Services dominated the placements with nearly 33% offers. Traditional sectors such as FMCG, Telecom and IT accounted for 29% of the total

offers made. Consulting firms contributed to 15% of total offers while sectors unexplored in the past like PSUs, regulatory bodies, market research,

pharmaceutical, educational services, etc. contributed 23% to the total offers made. Some of the prominent names recruiting this year include TAS,

Microsoft, Barclays, Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank, HUL, P&G, Asian Paints, Bosch, GE, IBM, HP, Novartis, CTS, Tata Capital, TSMG, Deloitte,

Protiviti, Cadbury, etc.

The institute believes that a diversified participant profile ensured by its unique admission process provides rich talent for companies to recruit at lateral

as well as entry level managerial positions. 27 pre-placement offers were made to the participants on account of the Autumns Internships. The placement

season also saw participants bagging foreign offers in the areas of consulting and general management.

The institute has supported entrepreneurship by providing incubation to start-ups at the campus. Participants have a choice to take up entrepreneurship

and then return after 2 years for normal placements if they wish. The Entrepreneurship Cell at SPJIMR also has tie ups with organizations like TiE

and NEN.

Economic conditions have led to slowdown in industry on the whole, but the support that SPJIMR has seen from the corporate world is overwhelming.

The institute believes that this has been due to its focus on influencing management practice and promoting value-based growth through its various

pedagogic innovations, which attracts and produces the finest managerial talent.

2) Lock, Stock and Trade -

3) GASP -

4) SPRINT -

We recognize the pivotal role of entrepreneurship as a driver of growth in an open market economy. This event is the

only-one-of its- kind stock investing game played by “investor” participants competing for building the most valuable business portfolio. It is a mock

IPO event where the investors (student participants) invest in the real life companies profiled by MBA students from SP Jain Institute of Management

and Research.

Started 6 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 showcases a grand show of best sporting activities at a

a behemoth to host the best of athletes of the premier B-schools in India have to offer, in the years to come.

All said and done SPJIMR even adds a few more colours to its students' lives by giving them options to pursue

other areas of interest:

CANVAS

BOOK READER'S CLUB

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB

CANVAS is a student initiative that caters to the common interest of participants in the field of fine arts. It is a

forum to interact with like minds, exchange ideas and learn through experimentation. CANVAS provides a

platform to the artistically inclined students to showcase their skills and talent and gives others an opportunity

to identify and hone their creative skills through an interactive learning program.

The Book Club, one of the modalities under ADMAP, uses classic literature to bring out different examples of

leadership under different contexts.

This year the Book Club, under the guidance of Prof. Uma Narain, went one step further in its innovative

attempts, by conducting the book club sessions in association with Dr. John Clemens, Executive Director of

the Hartwick Leadership Institute. The members of the Book Club participated in 3 sessions with Dr. Clemens,

which were conducted over video conference, during which they discussed three books each dealing with

different aspects of management and leadership.

The Photography Club kick started last year blossoming from special interests of the students. It was an alternative means of relaxing in terms of

photography. The club keeps itself involved with bi-monthly events. Last year it was even a part of the historic OJAS 2009, where it had good participation

from different business schools vying to win the photography competition. The photography club has been successful in integrating its interests with

DOCC project people. They had a competition exclusively for the pictures snapped by the participants during their DOCC projects.

LAASYA

Bistro

Sports

Laasya - a dance of aesthetic delight, sheer poetry in

action - feminine, fluid, graceful - such is the talent and

ambition of the Dance troop at S.P.J.I.M.R. From Joy, to

sorrow, to passion, to devotion, Laasya is where we

express our thoughts, beliefs and ideas through the

dynamic medium of dance. Different styles - classical and

contemporary - combine and unite, to transport the

artistes and the audience to another world, to take them

through the story unfolding before them.

The campus has a host of delicious options to satisfy the

taste buds of foodies. The mess food is hygienic and

prepared keeping in mind the health needs of young

professionals. The hostels have excellent night canteen

facilities providing snacks and refreshments.

The lush green campus boasts of a yoga kutir set in the

picturesque backdrop of a serene lake. Participants can

enroll for free yoga training under the able guidance of

Dr. Hansraj, a professional yoga trainer. Keeping in mind

the needs of fitness conscious people and marathon

enthusiasts, the campus has a 1.4 km jogging track.

Some of the other sporting facilities include 2 grounds for

cricket and football, a volleyball court and basketball

facilities. Apart from this participants are also encouraged

to use the sporting facilities at Andheri Sports complex,

right next door to the college, at highly subsidized rates.

friends and catch up on the past.

students come and go like water, but the

river flows in its own course. SPJIMR is

like the Ganga of the educational

institutes one passes through life. But

once one merges into Ganga, he

internalises the purity and divineness of it

so much that for the rest of the journey,

one flows like the Ganga", said Dr. Sesha
