For the last 15 years, the institute has attracted the best intellect from across the country.

Based on Alumni tracking and student survey, the iMBA will focus on Family Business and Entrepreneurship in conjunction with providing a rich work experience of eight to ten months to students across the five years of iMBA. The launch of the iMBA programme is a result of the sensitivity of the think-tank at BKMIBA who sensed the need of the Industry at large and responded to the concern of Datar, Garvin and Cullen made in their book ‘Rethinking the MBA- Business Education at the Crossroads’. BKMIBA through this initiative has designed balanced curricula so as to offer global students, a blend of skills and capabilities that are at the heart of management alongwith values and beliefs that form a manager’s professional identity. With state of the art facilities in its electronically integrated campus, BKMIBA is not a mere building made of bricks and mortar. The Institute supports the educational experience of students by equipping them with leadership skills, analytical skills, critical thinking and industry exposure. Furthermore the students at BKMIBA have an incredible opportunity to become members of a vibrant academic community with its well reputed faculty, promising young peers and dynamic and supportive alumni. In the process of facilitating the student community, the institute assists Corporates with their recruitment, helping them find interns as well as employees. Education at BKMIBA has a regional as well as global dimension that gets translated through the Institute’s initiatives in providing its students international exposure by ways of visits and short term study programmes.

I take this opportunity to invite students from multiple ethnic, socio-economic and academic backgrounds to become branches of the oak like, BKMIBA that has its roots in tradition and yet embraces newness by expanding its branches so as to strengthen the cultural and intellectual diversity of BKMIBA.

Besides imparting quality education, what it really taught me is the attitude & the skill required to succeed in today's world. Having a passion for 'something' in life, striving towards excellence, and relentless pursuit towards growth - all this I learnt from BKMIBA. Bhushir Mankad (Class 2006) - Head of Product Management, Samsung Electronics, Dubai - UAE I have grown as a person post BKMIBA. The opportunity of meeting industry experts, giving presentations to large audience, preparing business plans, organizing several events with a set of outstanding people who are mature yet competitive, brainy yet sensitive and resultdriven yet collaborative teachers taught me a lot about leading teams, resolving conflicts and delivering results. I also learnt a lot about subjects and aspects of business that were obscure to me, and that has made me a better business professional. Khush Bakeri (Class 2009) - Partner, Suveg Electronics, Ahmedabad BKMIBA has had some of the brightest minds as teachers who have played a pivotal role in shaping my future. I would really like to thank faculty members for investing their time and efforts in our futures. BKMIBA is the most prestigious institution for the BBA degree in Gujarat.
