In pursuance of their plans, the Trustees of MICRO started B.B.M. degree programme of Mangalore University as a foundation course in Management Studies at the Micro Business Management College in 1993 and have the privilege of sending by now four fine batches of promising young men and women out into the Corporate world and Management Institutes of higher strata to further refine and establish their mettle. Products of this Institution have been toppers in University Examinations also. For instance, one of its students has bagged the Second Rank in the Final BBM Examinations conducted in April, 1997.
The B.B.M. Degree obtained on completion of the study programme offered at this Institute is fully recognized as equivalent to other graduate degree like B.A., B.Sc., and B.Com. for the purpose of eligibility to competitive examinations, Government and quasi-Government employment and for admission to post-graduate study programmes in any statutory / deemed Indian University.
Since July, 1994, the college has been functioning at the newly constructed own premises at Court Back Road, Udupi near the Syndicate Towers. The spacious, fully furnished building has been designed by an eminent architect in consultation with reputed educationalists.
The building also houses a state-of-the-art air-conditioned computer laboratory set up in accordance with the latest concept of an ideal computer centre. A power generator has been installed to combat problems created by frequent and unscheduled power failure. At present, the laboratory is manned by highly qualified faculty with impeccable teaching background.
The College has been working hard at building up an adequate and efficient library. A substantial number of highly useful volumes have been added recently . The College subscribes to a large number of technical journals which include, The Chartered Accountant, Management Accountant, Business World, Chartered Secretary, Indian Management, Industrial Economist and The Chartered Financial Analyst. A highly experienced and fully qualified librarian has been appointed. As part of the efforts of the Board of Trustees to supplement lecture inputs, an audio and video library consisting of educational films and audio cassettes is being set up.
Members of the teaching faculty are drawn from various backgrounds and professions like Accountants, Lawyers and Engineers. Every one of them is highly talented and fully qualified, in addition to being considerably experienced. At present, there are 14 regular members in the faculty. However, depending on the need, guest lectures by eminent professors from reputed Insitutions are arranged frequently.
The endeavours of MICRO are aimed at making Management students, after exposure to three years of teaching and training at this Institution, fit for taking up professional courses like the C.A., M.B.A., A.C.S., and I.C.W.A., with total confidence. If any alumni of MICRO wishes to cease his/her studies after B.B.M. Degree, he/she shall still find himself/herself competent enough to take up Junior Executive positions in modern business enterprises. This College is managed by noted professionals to train students for admission for professional courses.
An educational Institution functioning under financial grant by the Government has to subject itself to several restrictions and accept numerous conditions, which generally hamper the achievement of the goal of excellence. Therefore, the Micro Business Management College does not seek any financial assistance from the Government. This decision has guaranteed the Institution its autonomy in spheres that matter and allows no hindrance or let in its efforts aimed at achieving the unique set of its special objectives, as well as the selection of faculty.
However, finance is most essential to run the College. The MICRO looks up to parents of its alumni and the philanthropic general public for lending a helping hand in this regard.
The Trust is recognized by the Central Government, and all donations made to this Trust qualify for exemption under Section 80 G of Income Tax Act, 1961.
