Apeejay School of Management’s PGDM Programme bags NBA accreditation for the 7th time in a row

The PGDM (Post Graduate Diploma in Management) programme of Apeejay School of Management has been reaccredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for three years from 2025 to 2028. This accomplishment aligns with the grand vision of Mrs. Sushma Paul Berlia, Chairman of Apeejay Stya & Svran Group, Chancellor of ASU, and Chairman of Apeejay Education, who consistently encourages faculty and staff to strive for higher quality standards in Management education along with the support of honourable board member Dr. Neha Berlia, Co-promoter of Apeejay Stya & Svran Group, Joint Secretary of Apeejay Education, and Pro-Chancellor of ASU.

The PGDM programme of ASM got its first accreditation in 2001. Since then, the programme has been reaccredited in 2007, 2011, 2014, 2019, 2022, and 2025. NBA accreditation reflects high standards of the program on various parameters such as governance, transparency and financial stability, attainments of program outcomes and course outcomes, quality of curriculum, accomplishment of students, diversity among students, quality of faculty and their contributions in teaching, research and executive education, industry interface and internationalisation, infrastructure, alumni connect and culture of continuous quality improvement.

Dr Srirang Jha, Associate Professor, Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Area, highlighted that NBA accreditation reflected the commitment of ASM towards incredible teaching-learning experiences for both faculty and students. Adherence to the highest standards of accreditation norms and best practices invariably enhances the quality of students’ experience and their success in the corporate world and in life, Dr. Jha added.

Further Dr Pragya Arya, an Assistant Professor at Apeejay School of Management, Dwarka mentioned, “We are delighted to be accredited by NBA for the 7th time in a row. While this is the achievement of the system as a whole, a key aspect that helped us in bagging the coveted accreditation is the experiential learning opportunities we provide to our students at ASM.”

She further added, “The industry visits, seminars, workshops, guest talks, and internships contribute to the rigour of the PGDM program, which is reflected in the desired skills developed in our students. NBA accreditation also reflects the cohesive teamwork of all stakeholders, including students, staff, faculty, alumni, recruiters, board members, parents, and others. Contributions of all the faculty and staff in collation of data, documentation, and validation of data was highly appreciated by the expert team of NBA that visited the ASM campus in the last week of March 2025.”
