I am delighted to know that Institute of Management Studies, Banaras Hindu University is bringing out the brochure for the batch 2015-17. Management education started in the University in the year 1968 and gradually elevated through Department of Management Studies to Faculty of Management Studies and finally got upgraded to Institute of Management Studies in December 2015. The strength of Banaras Hindu University is its wealth of knowledge and experience. Being a dynamic and socially committed institution, the University is contributing to nation building in line with the future development goals of the society. In this modern era, where streaming of knowledge is mandatory to impart education of relevance, we take constant efforts to be responsive to the emerging needs of the society at large. The University believes in imparting not just education but also imbibing human values among the students - a unique blend of "pratichi-prachi", which helps them, make a mark and excel in their respective domain. Institute of Management Studies, Banaras Hindu University is known to provide a platform for students to delve into the dynamics of management and understand its essence in a new light. Over the years, IM-BHU has groomed over 4500 successful corporate leaders who have achieved great heights in their pursuits. I, on behalf of the University, extend a hearty invitation to the corporate world to strengthen the association with the University in its centennial year.
