Nestled in the foothills of the serene western ghats, Justice K S Hegde Institute of Management, popularly known as JKSHIM, has given extremely competent managers to the industry and society for 25 years. More than 3000 of our alumni occupy senior and responsible positions in the industry. Our ability to adapt and adapt quickly to the changing demands of the ecosystem has been the hallmark of our success.

We believe that successful management of an organization, be it a corporate, a start-up or a social enterprise, is more about the right attitude than knowledge and skills. While our focus is on both soft skills and hard skills, we also strive to develop perspectives among our students. From day one they are nurtured to be responsible leaders with a balanced approach towards business, society, and ethics. In this pursuit of balance on various fronts we at JKSHIM seek wholesome performance of our students in their eventual lives as managers, entrepreneurs, and as leaders of business and other sectors.

We operate with clearly defined learning goals and our faculty continually strive for excellence. More than half of them hold doctoral degrees while others are in the advanced stages of completion. They are excellent educators, well versed with alternate pedagogies. Their engagement with students goes much beyond the classroom to ensure desired outcomes. The program curriculum is kept up to date to cater not only to the ever-changing global environment but also to address the shift in paradigms as well. We as an institute respect diversity and inclusiveness and we are certain our graduates take these values wherever they go.

We enjoy an excellent relationship with the industry. Our recruiters have been great pillars of support for us. We seek their feedback regularly which helps in keeping our programs cutting edge and relevant. From above we are being led by the vision of late Justice K. S. Hegde after whom we are fortunate to have had our institution christened. His spirit of social entrepreneurship, care for human values, justice, accountability, governance and citizenship dearly live in our hearts. We are fortunate to be nestled peacefully in an environment blessed with nature in its most bountiful tropical form, an overall social orientation that combines tradition and urbanity, speed and leisure, and fun and seriousness. We feel proud to be in the midst of a happy melting pot of different languages, diverse religions and cultural traditions. I invite all visitors to this site to get in touch with us to know more about us. On our part we are keen to know more about you. Thank you.
