The school was founded in 1993 to develop upcoming management professionals
and future CEOs who will lead technology-driven and knowledge-based industries.

The school is the foremost B-School in the IIT system and offers both a Masters of
Business Administration (MBA), and a Post- Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM). The two-year MBA program spans four semesters of full-time residency including a six-month internship.

The Center was founded to help Scientists, Engineers and Doctors better perform their duties in a professional manner and be a part of the process of technological advancement.
