Aiming new heights together A Unit of St. Albert’s College, Ernakulam
MBA RECRUITMENT MANUAL 2012
ALBERTIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT: THE BUSINESS SCHOOL THAT AIMS HIGH Albertian Institute of Management (AIM) started in 2006, is ISO 9001:2000 certified and one of the latest off-shoots of St. Albert's College, Cochin (established and administered by Archdiocese of Verapoly). Affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, and approved by AICTE, New Delhi, the institute offers full time Masters Programme in Management (MBA). Considering the phenomenal growth of the City of Cochin into a booming metropolis, its emergence as the unchallenged business and industrial capital of Kerala and the great influx of new industrial ventures into Cochin and its suburbs, a world of opportunities now unfolds before the young, well qualified business professionals. There is still a dearth of business schools that offer quality management education in Kerala. AIM is the end result of a determined move to step into this gap and give shape to a management school par excellence.
