BIM Trichy Legacy 
BIM began in 1984 as a partnership between Bharathidasan University and BHEL, on the idea that a management school should sit inside industry, much as a medical college sits beside a hospital. Bharat Ratna Late Shri C Subramaniam, who headed its first Board of Governors, was instrumental in setting it up. BIM is governed by its own society and Board of Governors, with the Governor of Tamil Nadu as Patron-in-Chief, and Bharathidasan University awards its MBA degree. Today BIM is a fast growing B-school focused on new technology applications and sustainable development. Its MBA is built around a pi-shaped design and a set of centres of excellence, from finance to AI. BIM Trichy new campus in 19-acre is coming up on the Tiruchirappalli-Pudukkottai road, while the heritage campus in the BHEL complex remains the main campus. Facilities on the campus are described on the BIM Trichy campus and hostel.
