Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 8: International School of Management Excellence (ISME) Bangalore has achieved accreditation from EFMD Global for its Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), marking a significant milestone in the institution's journey towards international excellence in management education. The recognition places ISME's PGDM programme among a globally select group of globally benchmarked management programmes that meet rigorous international standards of academic quality, institutional governance, corporate engagement, ethics, sustainability, and student outcomes.
The European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), administered by EFMD Global, is widely regarded as one of the world's most prestigious and rigorous accreditation frameworks for business and management schools.

This achievement reflects the collective efforts of our faculty, students, alumni, corporate partners, and academic collaborators who have contributed towards building a culture of excellence, innovation, and responsible leadership. At ISME, we remain committed to creating future-ready professionals equipped with global perspectives, ethical values, and industry-relevant capabilities."
The accreditation reflects ISME's continued commitment to building a future-focused learning ecosystem that combines academic rigor with industry relevance and global exposure. Over the years, ISME has strengthened its emphasis on experiential learning, innovation-led pedagogy, entrepreneurship, international collaborations, and industry integration to prepare its PGDM students for the rapidly evolving global business environments.
Speaking on the accreditation, Dr. Rony G. Kurien, Dean, International School of Management Excellence, said, "EFMD's perspective has also helped us realign our mission and recognize ISME's distinctive strength in Internationalisation at Home. For students, this recognition opens the door to enhanced global exposure and wider academic and industry opportunities.
