To harness the professional competence of the human resources by providing world class education, In 1976 AIMA took a historical decision to introduce India’s first ever management programme through flexible learning, which was the need of the hour, to create talented management manpower to manage core sectors of developing India.

To focus more on education, the Centre for Management Education (CME), the education wing of AIMA, was established in 1993 as a full-fledged autonomous business school. Today AIMA-CME is the largest business school in the autonomous sector in the country in terms of student enrolments.
