We do not compare the BCIDS program to the 1000s of MBA’s available nor do we compare it to the top 30 Management Institutes providing management degrees. What we mean by this is - simply put, if you get a chance to study with the top 30 Management Institutes we would not recommend you to study at BCIDS but if not, then we would strongly recommend choosing BCIDS as your place to study management for the following reasons:

• S.P.Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) is the curriculum mentor :
  This association helps us in deriving the same pedagogy that is followed at SPJIMR, faculty resource and inputs from the subject matter experts, curriculum inputs and alignment of the same as per industry requirements. The certificate mentions that the course is under the academic guidance of S.P.Jain Institute of Management and is signed by the dean of SPJIMR.


• 100% Placement Assistance through our placement cell : Due to our innovative pedagogy our students often find placements comparable to any MBA who are not from the top 30 institutes.
• Outdoor Management Program: The Outdoor Management Development Program helps to learn management by doing rather than reading which leads to better application of the principles learnt


• Industry Interaction: Our students get the opportunity to interact with corporate fraternity through our guest sessions, which are held every Saturday this helps them to be updated with the industry trends and requirements.


• Fast Track: In just 11 months the students start work instead of the 2 years and at a much lower cost.


• Earning the extra Credits: For higher studies in a few places abroad you need extra credits due to the 16 years of education that they consider for a post graduate program. It helps you in getting credits which at times becomes a requirement due to the Indian system of 15 years of education, Along with this you get to learn management which will help in the studies abroad.

This is an 11 months full time course.
