SPJIMR gets EQUIS Accreditation, Joins Triple Crown of Business Schools

This accomplishment places SPJIMR among an elite group of global business schools that have achieved the esteemed 'Triple Crown' of accreditations, making it one of the top 1% of business schools worldwide.

Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S P Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) has reached a significant milestone by receiving the EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation. This accomplishment places SPJIMR among an elite group of global business schools that have achieved the esteemed 'Triple Crown' of accreditations, making it one of the top 1% of business schools worldwide.

SPJIMR Joins an Exclusive Group of Institutions

With this new accreditation, SPJIMR is now one of only four business schools in India to hold the 'Triple Crown' status. The other two accreditations the institute has earned are from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of MBAs (AMBA). Currently, only 224 business schools across 45 countries are EQUIS-accredited, making SPJIMR's achievement even more remarkable.

What is EQUIS Accreditation?

EQUIS is a globally recognized standard of excellence for business and management education. The rigorous evaluation process assesses business schools across 10 key areas: governance and strategy; programmes; students; faculty; research; executive education; resources and administration; internationalisation; ethics, responsibility, and sustainability; and connections with practice. Achieving this accreditation signifies that SPJIMR meets the highest global standards in all these domains.

Tribute to SPJIMR’s Stakeholders

Prof. Anupama Gupta, Director of Accreditation and Rankings at SPJIMR, expressed her gratitude to the various contributors who made this achievement possible. “The contributions of our faculty, staff, students, and alumni have been instrumental in achieving this remarkable milestone. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the EQUIS team for their invaluable insights and to everyone involved in this journey for their unwavering dedication and support,” she said.

Benefits of EQUIS Accreditation

The EQUIS accreditation not only elevates SPJIMR’s global standing but also enhances its institutional reputation. Accredited institutions attract distinguished faculty, high-caliber students, and foster academic collaborations. Additionally, this recognition signals to employers that SPJIMR’s graduates possess a world-class business education, positioning them for success in the competitive global market.

SPJIMR's 'Triple Crown' achievement marks a new chapter in the institute’s journey, reinforcing its commitment to providing exceptional business education that aligns with global standards.
