Though established under the aegis of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, MPBIM is run autonomously and has its own governance systems in place. The institute benefits from various factors: MPBIM's Values - MPBIM has commanded a reputation of its own for quality and values that reflect in some of the admission criteria and extra-curricular activities that the institute engages its MBA student executives in; The top 6 percentile of MAT and top ranking PGCET students enrol at MPBIM each year; MPBIM operates on an impartial student-intake procedure and ensures that students enrol purely on merit; MPBIM encourages student participation in various academic and para-academic activities with a clear social perspective

Inspired is how one can describe MPBIMs management graduates, for they have been trained to be 360 degree aware. There is an assimilative trait that sees them constantly evolving and gaining new skills. Whether it is academics, industry interaction involving corporate leaders, participation in social programmes for underprivileged and challenged members of society or learning to work as a team within the diverse and disparate student body that the Institute is, it is this distinct ability of an MPBIM manager that will see him achieve sustained success as in today’s globalised economies. Associations, collaborations, mergers, amalgamations, everyday corporate happenings are best carried through by managers who are holistic thinkers, sharply focused; inspired, yet sublime – will be the hallmark of MPBIM’s managers

When it comes to a professional approach, MPBIM strives to provide maximum brand exposure constantly reinforcing its position as a provider of premium management education at the national level. As part of a fresh initiative by the management and in response to changing market needs, MPBIM is now writing up long-term plans for further strengthening its already-strong brand in the management education markets. The ultimate beneficiaries of such initiatives in the past have been our students and with new approaches and plans being drawn up, we are confident that future cohorts will benefit even further from the MPBIM brand and its reputation in the Industry

Founded on November 7, 1938, on the auspicious Kartik Sud Purnima, Samvat 1995, nearly a decade before the advent of Independence, with the blessings of Mahatma Gandhi and co-operation and support of several distinguished stalwarts of India's freedom movement, the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has grown, from small beginnings, into a comprehensive all-India intellectual, cultural and educational movement. It is totally apolitical.
Its founder, Kulapati Dr. K.M. Munshi, looked upon the Bhavan as an 'Adventure in Faith', a faith in India's past, present and future. It is also a faith in India's people who have a rich and unbroken cultural heritage. Bhavan is ceaselessly striving to carry forward India's ageless message of Faith, Self-discipline and Dedication, through its educational centres located all over the country.
The Bhavan believes that there are elements in all cultures which transcend all barriers and knits people together. Its ideal is: 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'- "The World Is One Family." Its motto is "An No Bhadrah Kratavo Yantu Vishvatah" (Rigveda 1-89-1)': "Let noble thoughts come to us from every side". During the last eight decades and more of its existence, the Bhavan has blossomed into an ever-growing, voluntary, apolitical national movement with an international outlook, devoted to life, literature and culture.

An 'Institution of National Eminence', notified by Government of India, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has about 127 centresin India and abroad. It has over 375 educational institutions including Management and Engineering. MPBIM is a proud Associate of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
