Seamlessly incorporating demands of the contemporary education system onto its campus, the Ballari Institute of Technology and Management (BITM) was founded in 1997 by late Basavarajeswari (Founder & Former Union Minister) who envisioned the growth & transformation of young minds to fortify them with required knowledge and skills to face challenges of the competitive world.

Initiated a decade after the institutes’ inception, the MBA department soon commenced its vision of aiming to become a leading B-School in the country with a humane and global outlook. Catering to this vision, amidst a stretch of copious surroundings, and quintessential infrastructural amenities, the MBA department vows to challenge itself in reducing the boundaries between its academic units in order to unfold greater recognition to BITM through collaboration with emphasis on excellence and commitment to diversity.
