The
Bhubaneswar Institute of Management and
Information Technology (BIMIT),
a premier Business School is an intellectual
community rightly blended with spiritualism
& strong traditions.
It owes its inception to the Grace and
Blessings of Beloved
Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
Drawing its precedence from the education,
value & culture prophesised by
Sri Sathya Sai Baba & His exemplary
Institutes, it is committed to maintain a rare
excellence both in educational experience and help
making a profession out of business.
BIMIT,
a unit of Orissa Trust of Technical Education
& Training (OTTET)
is recognised by the All India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE)
under Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD),
Govt. of India, since 1995.
The
2 Years full-time MBA
programme is approved by AICTE
& affiliated to Biju Patnaik University of
Technology (BPUT)
and has been planted and given the shape of a
beautiful tree to produce fragrant flowers and
fruits.
The
curriculum is so well designed to integrate modern
based management education with the development of
the self that it is no way less than the one's
offered by the Insitutes of international repute
like the IIMs, IITs or IISc.
It is appropriate to state here that BIMIT
has been heralded for giving a perfect meaning to
humanised educational learning and receiving the
credit of preparing perfect leaders and managers.
This is what the experts and the
Institute's Alumni claim as the worthy wealth of
the Institute.
A
manager cannot be a good leader but certainly a
leader can be a good manager because
"Management is doing things right" and
"Leadership is doing the right things".
The
leadership qualities cannot be learnt by the
University curriculum alone.
Hence the students at BIMIT are constantly
reminded about this cardinal need.
The entire curriculum of studies and other
activities gear towards this goal.
MBA
programme of BIMIT, even though affiliated to the
general University curricular pattern, is however,
specially designed to meet the overall objective
of the Institute.
To
substantiate, an interesting finding by the
Stanford University, indictated below, has a
bearing on this issue.
During
the 80s many scholars in USA began to investigate
why the Japanese were forging ahead in almost
every business and economic enterprise.
This happening inspite of Japanese not
having many colleges to teach Business Management
whereas the Americans had some of the best
Business Management Colleges in the world.
The
finding of Stanford Research Institute has pointed
the area, the Americans had ignored.
It virtually sums up composition of good
leadership which has to be rediscovered.
The
Study concluded that 12% of the effective
Management (which is the Management terminology
for leadership) is knowledge and 88% is dealing
appropriately with people.
The
effectiveness of a Business Leader depends 90% on
his character and 10% on his knowledge of
business.
Management
efficiency is in climbing the ladder of success.
Leadership determines whether the ladder is
leaning against the right wall.
It is therefore appropriate that the youth
should learn about this human capacity.
Extending
this concept, to the context
BIMIT reinforces the importance of character
and leadership grooming in Management Education
brought out by the rare combination of BPUT's
Academic curriculum super-imposed on BIMIT's
ideals for the development of the Self.
 It
prepares students to shoulder leadership and
responsibilities as executives, managers, teachers
and officers in various fields and become warriors
of the twenty first century to unite humanity with
the bond of Love.
BIMIT
believes that culture, values and ethos are
important prerequisites for successful
implementation of management principles and
practices.
Hence, it aims at integration of management
education with rich cultural heritage of India.
It
believes in developing management education, which
develops total personality of each student besides
promoting creativity and professional excellence.
Based
on the above belief, it intends to use its
traditional strength, suitably modified to fit
into present socio-economic environment so that
modern management practices are compatible with
our ever changing needs.
The
Institute is dedicated to a firm conviction that
the Faculty of Business Management, will, through
its non conventional programmes and committed
faculty members, be yet another worthy addition to
various faculties which are endeavouring
ceaselessly to promote innovative educational
programmes, experiences, values and ideals so dear
to this Institute.
The
students at BIMIT
represent a varied socio-economic background
hailing from all parts of India.
The
programme of BIMIT,
ever since its inception in 1995, has been
observing a distinct feature of successful
completion of 8 batches of its students.
The Institute has to its credit the pride
of consistently producing and experiencing 1st
Division Degree holders, Toppers and Rank holders
of the University. It continues to maintain this
academic excellence.
The
Institute not only prepares students but also
teachers.
In pursuance of their continued excellence
in academics, the Institute encourages R & D
to suit their interest.
The
prospective students who have so far completed the
MBA Degrees here are suitably absorbed in various
prestigious organizations in India and abroad. The
Institute receives communication from all these
old students regularly.
Employer's
outstanding report about the Institute's Alumni,
their work ethos, commitment and over-all
behaviour and competence support the validity of
the design of the Institute's curriculum. It has
been found that excellently managed companies have
the pride of these common areas of competence and
strong value systems.
BIMIT
is fortunate in having the Grace. The guidance is
sublime. The goal is steady. The vision is
constant. The boundaries are well-defined. The
message is vibrant and inspiring. Pace has been
set. Hurdles are overcome. The march is on.
