Going​ beyond local boundaries, Goa Institute of Management (GIM) has successfully recorded a significant achievement on a global spectrum by being honoured with the distinguished AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation, a recognition that positions GIM within the leading 6% of the best business schools globally. The accreditation serves as a proof to GIM's commitment to deliver excellent, innovative, and impactful management education.

The association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) was formed in 1916, and since then, it has been considered the most long-lasting and widely acknowledged accreditation entity for business schools all over the world. Globally, only nearly 6% of business schools can boast of meeting these stringent standards for AACSB accreditation.

This commendation identifies GIM in meeting the global standards in quite a few significant areas, like academic quality, faculty brilliance, strategic management, learner success, and research impact.

“The AACSB accreditation is a strong confirmation of our pursuit of academic excellence and responsible management education. It is the outcome of several years' collective efforts of all our faculty, staff, students, and alumni who kept pushing the bar for excellence. The commendation encourages us to keep the mission of producing business leaders who bring about positive changes in society and the world of work.”

During the time, the institute has made a commitment to a host of innovative programs that respond to the emerging industry needs., Allare AICTE-approved programs crafted to turn the leaders of tomorrow who will possess the right combination of analytical skills, ethical orientation, and leadership foresight.
