What Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management does

Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management (LBSIM) is a private, autonomous management education institution established in 1995 in Dwarka, New Delhi, operating from a single campus under the brand name LBSIM. It delivers a portfolio of four two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programs — General, Financial Management, Research & Business Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science — alongside a doctoral Fellow Programme in Management (FPM), a 27-month part-time weekend PGDM for working professionals, and executive education in the form of Management Development Programmes (MDPs) and Executive Development Programmes (EDPs). Technology infrastructure supporting delivery includes a Moodle-based Learning Management System hosting all PGDM/FPM/MDP/EDP cohorts, an OLT ERP for academic and fee administration, and a Bloomberg & Analytics Lab for finance and analytics training.

LBSIM generates revenue primarily through annual tuition fees for its full-time and part-time PGDM programs, FPM program fees, and corporate training fees for customized MDPs delivered on-campus to clients such as Punjab & Sind Bank and Unichem India. Students are recruited through national-level entrance exams (CAT, XAT, GMAT) followed by extempore and personal interviews, while corporate clients are reached through direct outreach. Placement outcomes for the latest cohort (Batch 2024-26) show an 85% placement rate with 85 recruiters (27 first-time), a highest CTC of Rs 24 LPA (up from Rs 16.67 LPA two cohorts prior), an average CTC of Rs 12.32 LPA, and 100% summer internship placement for the subsequent batch across 75+ companies — placing the institute in the upper tier of Indian private business schools.

The institute holds AACSB International accreditation (awarded 2026, placing it in the top 6% globally and among ~30 AACSB-accredited schools in India), along with AICTE approval, NBA accreditation, NIRF recognition, and rankings such as 4th Best Private Business School by the Times Group.
