Premier B-school Jaipuria Institute of Management (JIM) has achieved a rare distinction of an accreditation from the prestigious AACSB International.
This feat places JIM among an elite group of 6 percent global and 1 percent Indian B-schools respectively. JIM has campuses in Lucknow, Noida, Jaipur and Indore.
Established in 1916, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business education.
It aims to fostering excellence by connecting educators, students, and industry leaders to shape the next generation of business professionals.
AACSB accreditation is a rigorous process, requiring institutions to undergo a comprehensive peer review.
This multi-year journey demands that schools demonstrate ability to deliver a forward-looking curriculum, high-impact research, innovative teaching methodologies, and demonstrated thought leadership and societal impact.
Institutions must design and implement strategies to meet these stringent academic standards.
“After years of effort from our leadership team, students, faculty, staff, and administrators across all four Jaipuria Institute of Management campuses, we have earned a place among the world’s leading business schools,” said Sharad Jaipuria, Jaipuria Group chairman.
Highlighting this accomplishment, Shreevats Jaipuria, JIM vice chairman, emphasised its transformative impact on graduates.
“AACSB accreditation enhances their career prospects, enabling them to secure more competitive salaries and opening doors to greater opportunities worldwide,” her added.
This recognition not only validates the quality of education provided at Jaipuria but also underscores the enhanced value it brings to its graduates in the global marketplace, he noted.
JIM serves a diverse student body of nearly 2,500 across its four campuses, offering PG programs designed to equip students with industry-relevant skills through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application.
These include the flagship PG Diploma in Management (PGDM) and the doctoral level Fellow Program in Management (FPM).
Stephanie M Bryant, AACSB Executive Vice President and Chief Accreditation Officer, noted, “Jaipuria’s commitment to accreditation reflects its dedication not only to its students, alumni, and the business community but also to the advancement of higher education globally.”
