One of only four Indian business schools with 'Triple Crown' accreditation
SPJIMR is a category-I management institute under AICTE, accredited by AACSB, AMBA (UK), and EQUIS (EFMD). It is part of an elite group of institutions worldwide holding the prestigious ‘Triple Crown’ accreditation, placing it among the top 1% of global business schools.
EQUIS Accreditation
The EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS) accreditation is one of the most rigorous and sought-after accreditations for business schools to assess, accredit, and improve their quality across ten standards—context, governance and strategy; programmes; students; faculty; research; executive education; resources and administration; internationalisation; ethics, responsibility and sustainability; and connections with practice.
AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business
AACSB accreditation is the worldwide hallmark of excellence in business education, and has been earned by less than five percent of the world’s business schools. The accreditation recognises institutions that demonstrate a focus on excellence in teaching, research, curriculum development, and student learning.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA), UK
AMBA accreditation recognises the highest standards of achievement earned by the best postgraduate business education programmes in the world.
SPJIMR programmes recognised by AMBA include:
- Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM)
- Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM)
- Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP)
- Post Graduate Programme in General Management (PGPGM)
- Post Graduate Programme in Family Managed Business (PGPFMB)
- Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PGPDM)

National Board of Accreditation (NBA)
The National Board of Accreditation is one of the two major bodies responsible for accrediting higher education institutions in India. SPJIMR’s PGDM programme was first accredited in 2007. PGDM has been accredited by the NBA for six years with effect from July 01, 2022.
The Association of Indian Universities (AIU)
The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) is a prestigious organisation representing universities across India, promoting collaboration and enhancing higher education quality. AIU oversees the accreditation and recognition of universities, ensuring they meet academic excellence standards. In January 2025, SPJIMR’s Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) was granted Ph.D. equivalence, further reinforcing SPJIMR’s commitment to academic quality and national recognition.
