Tranquil Ambience - PIMR Campus

Professional education and training is one of the most significant components of Human Resource Development with great potential for making contributions to the national economy and improving the quality of life of the people. In recognition of this fact, the successive five year plans and the National Policy on Education have placed great emphasis on the introduction of professional education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Expansion of professional education in the post-independence era is unprecedented in the educational history of the country. However, inspite of this significant development, a lot more has to be accomplished with respect to increasing its coverage and enhancing its accessibility to various categories of people because there still exists a wide gap between the demand and supply of professionally competent people in the country and this gap is increasing year after year with increasing industrial and business activities. With the globalization of our economy and policy of liberalization, the demand for professionally competent personnel is going to increase. The solution to this paradox lies in providing facilities for professional education, research and training which alone can develop competent generations suitable for business, industry and public administration.

The Prestige Institute of Management and Research is conceived as a unique growth oriented Institute of management education and training. The Institute was launched with the solemn objective of catering to the educational and training needs of the students, non-resident Indians, foreigners residing in India, defence personnel and executives from industry and government. The uniqueness of the Institute lies in its provision for elaborate spectrum of professional programs under one roof, on-the-job training, semester university examination, emphasis on qualitative education/training and building of cultural values and development of dynamic personality. The Institute had made a beginning by introducing MBA (Full Time and Part Time) programs, and undergraduate program in management discipline in the very first year. Under the ambitious plan to increase the number of programs to cover the diverse areas of professional education, the Institute has also started programs like Master of International Business, Bachelor of Computer Applications and Master of Foreign Trade (Integrated). Besides this, the Institute is a recognized research centre for Ph. D. program. Thus, it aims at becoming one of the best self reliant private education and training centres in the country.

The Institute is working on the principle of self-financing, while philanthropic industrialist and chairman of the Prestige Group of Industries, Shri N. N. Jain had provided the necessary initial financial support. The Institute has approval of the All India Council for Technical Education and the State Government of Madhya Pradesh, and has a distinction of having been accorded permanent affiliation by Devi Ahilya University and accreditation by AICTE. As such, it is a fully recognized institution with Devi Ahilya University awarding all the degrees offered by the Institute. Further, it has wide support from industrial and business units for inplant training and placement.
