With a successful track record of more than 21 batches, GMP is one of SPJIMR's flagship programs for students looking to study abroad for an MBA or MS degree with a solid academic base established in India.

International Exposure by Dual-Campus Model

The GMP program starts with six months at SPJIMR's Mumbai campus and then 6–18 months at high-quality international partner schools. This model not only saves study time abroad but also facilitates higher credit transfer, scholarship worth and OPT (Optional Practical Training) in the USA.

He further said that the January 2026 intake presents a special chance to accelerate a global career with academic intensity and intercultural training.
