Asia-Pacific Institute of Management

What Asia-Pacific Institute of Management does

Asia-Pacific Institute of Management (AIM) is a private, AICTE-approved business school founded in 1996 and operated by the All India Asian Educational Foundation (a Delhi-registered Society) from a single campus at Jasola Vihar, New Delhi. It delivers postgraduate diplomas (five PGDM specializations — General, Marketing, Banking & Financial Services, Big Data Analytics, and Healthcare Management — totaling 450 sanctioned seats), an MBA in Healthcare Management jointly with RUDN University (Russia), three M.Sc. dual-degree programs with ISM Germany (Finance, Business Intelligence & Data Science, International Logistics & Supply Chain), a BBA, and four B.Sc. programs (International Management, Finance & Management, Information Systems, Data Science). The technology stack underlying delivery is a conventional management-education platform: 25 classrooms, a 500-node computer lab with 100 Mbps internet, a three-storey library with ~1,00,000 books and 9,467 titles, integrated e-resources (EBSCO, JGate, Delnet, SAGE Online, HBR CA, ABI/INFORM ProQuest) running on Alice for Windows library software, and a TCS-hosted online student portal — none of it proprietary, but it collectively meets AICTE infrastructure norms.

The business model is a fee-for-service academic tuition model with four revenue streams: program tuition (primary, recurring across two-year PGDM installments at Rs. 9,95,000 total per student), hostel/residential fees (Rs. 1,60,000–1,70,000 per year), a non-refundable Rs. 1,200 application processing fee, and a Rs. 10,000 refundable security deposit functioning as a working-capital float. AIM reaches prospective students through a multi-channel funnel — direct-to-consumer website admissions ([email protected], toll-free 1800113334, WhatsApp +91 9311129429), consultative inside-sales counseling, off-campus career guidance seminars in Tier-2/3 cities (Ludhiana, Hyderabad), an SEO-driven educational blog, six social channels, alumni referrals via 10,000+ 'AIMbassadors', and international pathway partners (RUDN, ISM Germany, IDRAC France) for cross-border credit-transfer programs. The customer base is individual fee-paying students segmented into Indian graduates, healthcare professionals, internationally-mobile students, and Class 12 undergraduates; the supply-side counterpart is a recruiter network of 3,000+ companies sustaining a 95%+ placement rate with a 35 LPA highest package.
