SDM-IMD Mysore ties up with TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY for exchange program

According to the agreement, up to four students from SDM-IMD would get an opportunity to spend a semester and attend courses at Mays Business School. An equal number of MBA students from Mays would be invited to study a semester in SDM-IMDs campus in Mysore.

As an alternative, the agreement also envisions undergraduate students from Mays attending a five-week summer programme focused on conducting business in India, at SDM-IMD, during May-June. The exchange will also encourage institutions to promote the exchange of faculty for teaching and collaborative research programmes. Earlier this year, the institute had signed a similar agreement with the Global Management Education Institute of Shanghai University.

Said Mr. Ramesh Venkateswaran, Director, SDM-IMD, The institute has always aimed to offer the best education to its students. Our associations with such globally recognized institutes will give our students a wider perspective to the world of business management which is very important for their growth.

The SDM Institute for Management Development, Mysore is a part of the Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Educational Trust, and has been in management education for over a decade. The trust itself runs over 40 educational institutions including higher education centres in medical, engineering, dental and management sciences.

Texas A&M University, established on 1876, is today a bustling 5,000-acre campus with 46,000-plus students and a nationally recognized faculty. While Texas A&M was considered the 1st overall national university in the US (Washington Monthly 2007), the Mays Business Schools MBA programme was considered the 8th best-administered program, with the 8th best campus facilities (The Princeton Review, 2007). Forbes (2007) considered it the eighth best public programme, 22nd overall.
