BHARATHIDASAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT (BIM), BANGALORE

They say that nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. And if the idea has enough potential to change the face of managerial education, it becomes a force to reckon with.
One such idea was born in 1984, when Bharat Ratna Shri. C. Subramaniam, along with Prof. P. S. Mani Sundaram, the 1st Vice-Chancellor of Bharathidasan University chaired a meeting of leading academicians and industrialists. The concept of a management institute that is grounded in strong theoretical inputs and would have the proactive partnership of a large industrial organization was envisioned.

With this vision in mind, a partnership was forged with BHEL to create the country's first ever Management Institute that would be housed inside an industrial giant. Thus was born Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM) - School of Excellence.
Today, BIM has many laurels to its credit.


Number one Business School in Tamil Nadu, with an annual intake of 120 students.
A unique symbiotic relationship with BHEL in terms of academic inputs and continuous industry exposure.

Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam had chosen BIM as an ideal training ground for DRDO Scientists.

BIM is one of the most trusted B-Schools in India. A fact vouched by the ever-increasing number of applications that pour in every academic year.
