PROVENANCE OF THE SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE Bharat Ratna Shri C. Subramaniam along with Prof. P.S. Mani Sundaram the first Vice Chancellor of Bharathidasan University chaired a Meeting of leading academicians and Industrialists and an idea was born, an idea that was a Vision, a vision of a Management Institute which would be grounded in strong theoretical inputs and have the proactive partnership of a large Industrial Organization providing its students with a real world leaning experience.
This vision culminated in the establishment of BHARATHIDASAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT (BIM) in active partnership with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tiruchirappalli and the Bharathidasan University.BIM – an organization which is committed to excellence since inception and this philosophy pervades in every aspect of this institution. BIM offers one of the most coveted MBA programs in India. The Program attracts people with diverse backgrounds, career interests and aspirations but who have one thing in common; an interest in learning and a desire to equip themselves for challenging managerial positions in the corporate world. Entry to this course is regulated through a rigorous selection process. BIM is proud of its excellent placement record across various organizations.
OUR PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE Excellence implies setting high standards and surpassing it as a continuous process and maintains consistently high academic standards.

BIM provides the right ambience for the students to nurture their personal and professional skills. The Institute lays emphasis on grooming students as responsible citizens with righteous behavior reflecting the core values of the rich Indian tradition. This principle is strongly grounded on the belief that individuals who would be managers or leaders will be the power centers of the future, should have control over themselves and empathy towards all life forms.
OUR GOALMBA is the primary focus in BIM and hence all its resource and energy is focused in the programme. On the curriculum development trajectory there is an academic review which takes place yearly to meet the requirements of the industry.

ATTITUDE DETERMINES ALTITUDE A workshop, which would help a student understand self and others and in the process change ones attitude and behavior pattern. The institute makes it a point for students to go through the PERSONAL GROWTH LAB (PGL) to sensitize them to team work.Teamwork and therefore groups has been increasingly the focus of attention for a wide variety of reasons for quite sometime now. On one hand– Organisations require harnessing the synergy available only in groups, on the other hand individuals require the group both to work in and work with for their (personal) growth and development. This trend towards groups being a focal point attention is understandable.Against such a scenario B-Schools have an increasingly challenging though unenviable task. They need to provide the industry this rare combination. Industry wants to be infused with such fresh blood, preferably youthful. This intake is to be simultaneously empowered as well as capable team players. Only then will they translate into potential leaders for later years.Students are taken through a 3-day module, focused on,* Awareness of the self for personal effectiveness;
* Awareness of the other for interpersonal effectiveness;
* Awareness of the group for group effectivenessThe journey as a series of workshops opens out an entirely unexplored avenue for performance and productivity at personal and social dimensions,This new meaning finds both form and expression in our PGL workshops.
