LM Thapar School of Management, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (Deemed to be University)

LM Thapar School of Management (LMTSM), part of the Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (est. 1956), is among India’s leading business schools, consistently ranked among the top B-schools by NIRF. Established in 2007 and inspired by the vision of Shri L. M. Thapar, LMTSM has grown into an AACSB-accredited institution, a global benchmark achieved by less than 6% of B-schools worldwide.

Set up on a 26-acre green campus in the industrial corridor of Dera Bassi, LMTSM offers the best of both worlds — a peaceful learning environment with strong industry linkages. The campus enjoys excellent connectivity by road, rail, and air, with Chandigarh International Airport in close proximity, enabling easy access for students, industry leaders, and global partners. This unique location fosters collaboration, internships, and placements with leading Indian companies and multinational corporations.

Our AICTE-approved programs include MBA, PhD (Residential and for Executives) — each carefully designed to develop skills, perspectives, and leadership qualities suited to the evolving needs of business and society. These offerings blend academic rigor with industry immersion, ensuring that every graduate is workplace-ready and future-focused.

At LMTSM, learning is powered by our distinguished faculty, many of whom hold doctorates from leading b-schools and universities. Their research is published in top international journals and presented at major conferences, bringing cutting-edge knowledge into the classroom. This academic depth is complemented by a dedicated staff who support every student’s learning journey.

Education here goes beyond classrooms. Modern learning spaces, innovation labs, and the LMTSM NSE Cogencis Lab create an environment where ideas thrive. Through live projects, case studies, and social internships, students engage with real-world challenges and develop a balance of analytical, ethical, and entrepreneurial skills.

With global exchange opportunities across Europe, Australia, and the US, and partnerships with leading international institutions, LMTSM equips students with the skills, perspectives, and networks needed to thrive in today’s interconnected world. Guided by Vision 2030, LMTSM continues to nurture adaptable, ethical, and innovative leaders for the global knowledge economy.
