The Capsim Challenge (www.capsim.com) takes Capstone and Foundation alumni drawn from leading B Schools globally and pits them against each other in a biannual competition to crown the world’s best at running a multi-million dollar simulation company. Twice each year, Capsim alumni have the opportunity to test their business acumen against competitors from around the globe. The scoring process considers Balanced Scorecard methods for both the qualifying rounds and the finals. The teams or individuals with the six highest scores move on to compete for the title in the finals. Over the years, this competition has gained immense popularity among leading B School graduates to showcase their talent and skill in strategy and consulting roles during the recruitment process.

About Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM Trichy):
Established in 1984, Bharathidasan Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, an ISO 21001:2018 certified institution, is an autonomous school of excellence of Bharathidasan University, run by an independent society. BIM offers two years residential MBA program approved by AICTE with specialization in Marketing Management; Finance and Economics; Operations and Supply Chain Management; Human Resources Management; Digital Business, and Analytics.

More than 4500 BIM Alumni spread around the globe are significantly contributing to corporates, academics, and society today. Former Union Minister Bharat Ratna Late Shri C Subramaniam was instrumental in setting up this B School. He was motivated by the idea of starting a School of Excellence in Management that would be organically linked with an industrial complex. He believed that just as a medical school needed to be attached to a hospital to be effective as a teaching institution, a Management School had to be linked with industry. Accordingly, the institute was set up in collaboration with BHEL within its sprawling Tiruchirappalli campus. In addition to its graduate program, BIM has a strong research profile and established multiple centers of excellence, including the Operations Excellence Centre, Financial Trading and Analytics Centre (FINTRAC), Real-Time Contextual Marketing Labs, and Centre for Sustainable Development to advance contemporary management practices (www.bim.edu).
