Dean's Message 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. n A synthesis of western values of efficiency - a concern for ends, and eastern values and
ethos – an equal concern for means. n Co-existence of collaborative and competitive modes - striving for individual excellence
and yet reinforcing the 'group culture' through daily activities. n 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
inspire
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.

It is a trust of repute and eminence and is universally recognized for its educational as well as cultural activities.

FUNCTIONAL COURSES
Development of Corporate Citizenship – mainly company sponsored with companies where students have been offered placement. Assessment & Development of Managerial Potential.
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.
ADMAP (Assessment and Development of Managerial Abilities & Potential) 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.
Development of Corporate Citizenship (DOCC) 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.
transform
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.

CHARACTER BUILDING (Beyond Classroom Learning)
DOCC Gita Shibir
• Developing empathy & sensitivity • Developing ability to work in a very unstructured/ambigu ous environment • Hardships • Character building
• Self management & development • Character building • Value for values
ADMAP PG Lab • Awareness of Self • Team building
ABHYUDAYA (Mentoring School Children)
• Concern for ‘Contribution’ • Mentoring • Learning by Doing • Giving Feedback
12
• Getting things done • Listening and Observing • Networking • Strengthening skills
Autumn Project 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.
PG Lab (Personal Growth) 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

Placements 2009 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.

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 - 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.
3) GASP -
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.
4) SPRINT - SPRINT is the Annual National Inter B-School sporting extravaganza at SPJIMR showcases a grand show of best sporting activities at a national level, by future leaders of corporate was a part of their learning of managing people, operations management, marketing management and also management of finance. Initially conceptualized as a sporting event for leading B-schools in the western zone, SPRINT has established itself as a behemoth to host the best of athletes of the premier B-schools in India have to offer, in the years to come.

Life @ SPJIMR 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 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.
BOOK READER'S CLUB 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.
PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB

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 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.
