The awarding ceremony was held under the auspices of many distinguished personnel in the academic and corporate sectors.
PIBM has a history of fulfilling an existing gap in academic and professional development in terms of providing education of the highest standard consistently since its inception, having realised it as a pertinent need for innovative strategic development of the nation.
Prior assessment of training and development needs, adoption of international syllabuses to meet growing business demands, consistently superior delivery, highest assessment standards, and flexibility yet by no means compromising standards, in combination had given PIBM an edge that sustained its consistent growth.
The accreditation and quality assurance endorsement is one of the prime objectives of PIBM and its affiliated international institutions. By maintaining high quality standards it is endeavouring to pursue its objective subject to local and international benchmarks as a means of adding more value to all recipients of PIBM qualifications.
PIBM has widened its scope by providing learning opportunities not only for working adults to develop their professional career but also for school leavers to be equipped with a qualification in the management or related disciplines to build their aspiring career. It is strengthened with its affiliations to a number of foreign universities and professional bodies.
Vinayaka Missions University of India through Destiny Overseas is one of them which has added value for PIBM to be on par with other internationally acclaimed educational institutions.
Vinayaka Missions University is a fully accredited university as it is a Commonwealth University, a listed university of the International Association of Universities and thereby it is an approved university of the University Grants Commission (UGC) of Sri Lanka.
The MBA has been the most popular programme at PIBM which has attracted over the years many from the best in the corporate sector. The comprehensive curriculum and the assessment criteria of this programme are on par with internationally recognised MBA programmes.
Having observed the growing need for education PIBM has extended its outreach in establishing a regional campus in the outskirts and it will further extend its presence to other parts of this country with a network of Accredited Centres to offer a wider range of study programmes in various fields to accommodate the void in knowledge and skills in today's context to a greater extent.
PIBM takes this opportunity to express its gratitude to the distinguished members of the academic panel, the authorities of affiliated universities and Professional Bodies, the state and corporate sector organisations who had contributed in many ways to the success of PIBM and hope that it will be able to create a major impact in the development of human capital across this nation in the post conflict era.
