Since 1916, AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) has been synonymous with the highest standards of excellence, providing quality assurance, business education intelligence, and professional development services to over 1,600 member organisations and over 850 accredited business schools around the world. The organisation informs students, parents, employers, and counsellors about accreditation and how to select a high-quality business degree programme that meets their needs. AACSB accreditation assures that a school is delivering a challenging, relevant education that prepares students for careers in business. AACSB accreditation is held by less than 6% of all schools worldwide that offer bachelor's degree or higher level business programmes.

The accreditation process is a thorough examination that assures business schools are providing the finest possible education. When a school displays the AACSB Accreditation seal, it sends a message to the rest of the world that its graduates and alumni are ready to lead in today's competitive, global business climate. Through active involvement with the business or accounting world and the desire for competent professors who are experts in their profession, AACSB accreditation maintains relevance and currency.

It is a decent MBA college with good infrastructure and placements.
