About Faculty of Management Studies & Research, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU)
Faculty of Management Studies & Research (FMSR) was established in March 1996 to cater to the growing academic needs of the students of management studies. Efforts were initiated in 1965 and a one-year Diploma in Business Administration was started under the aegis of the Department of Commerce. In 1969, it was replaced by a three-year part-time Diploma Program in Business Management (DBM), which was converted in a part-time, three-year program leading to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 1972. Master of Business Administration (International Business) program, was introduced in 1993. Regular M. Phil and Ph.D. programs in business administration were also started along-with the creation of the Department.
Recently, FMSR started two Programs i.e. Masters in Islamic Banking & Finance & Hospital Administration. FMSR has been an epitome of excellence for the past four decades. It is in the constant process of imbibing managerial skills in the future managers. Moreover, the deep insight into the industry gained through vast experience has helped FMSR carve a niche for itself. The success story written by our alumni is a testimony to the fact that our management program is second to none. Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) (NAAC A+ University) occupies a unique position amongst universities and institutions of higher learning in India. It was established in 1920 and evolved out of the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental (MAO) which was set up on 7 January 1877 by the great visionary and social reformer, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. The university offers more than 300 courses in traditional and modern branches of education, and is an institute of national importance as declared under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India at its commencement.
