What It Means to Be Fifty

An institution’s fiftieth anniversary reflects both endurance and significant achievement. SCMS has grown from modest origins into a thriving institution, a result of sustained determination and commitment over five decades.
The School of Communication and Management Studies (SCMS) began as a modest initiative. Each step forward, though small, contributed to significant progress. This journey has shaped our perspective and revealed new opportunities for growth.
If there is one defining feature of this journey, it is our never-say-never spirit. When one path ended, we changed course and continued. The journey never halted. This is a rule that applies not only to institutions, but to human life itself.
By the end of two decades, many students—primarily working professionals—had passed through our classrooms and gone on to succeed in diverse fields. Their achievements filled us with pride and inspired us to aim higher. It became clear to us that our students’ success was, in fact, our own. Education, we realised, is a collective endeavour—students, faculty, and staff generating the shared energy that drives one another forward.

As our students progressed, our faculty too found fulfilment in their work, experiencing the joy and satisfaction of shaping the lives of young men and women. We started offering full-time programmes. And thus in the third decade, we found ourselves competing with leading business and management institutions. Our stakeholders encouraged us to diversify, and we grew further—more confident, more capable, and more focused. We strengthened our teaching and learning practices and developed into a centre of excellence.

In the past two decades, we have entered into multidisciplinary programmes, expanded internationally, and embraced change. Now, we consider fifty years with humility and pride, guided by the values that have defined us. These principles—resilience, collaboration, and a promise to excellence—remain our foundation as we look ahead.

This journey would not have been possible without the trust of our students, the commitment of our faculty, and the collective strength of the SCMS family that joins us all together.

I congratulate all our institutes and the entire SCMS Group on this golden jubilee, and I wish us a bright, purposeful, and uplifting future.

We live in interesting times. At last the consumer has become the king. Revolutionary changes in the field of economic activity have brought in its train a lot of freedom to the consumer at the market place. He can now rightfully demand quality in products, services, healthcare and why, in every area of human endeavour. Institutions which can upgrade to global standards only can hope to survive in this new millennium that has just dawned upon us. Institutions that provide state-of-the-art systems of teaching and training on par with the best in the world only can survive in this highly competitive world of ours. We, at SCMS COCHIN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS focus on quality at any cost and that is why in such a short time we have become a leading academic institution of excellence in our country. Today, SCMS COCHIN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS is ranked as a TOP B-SCHOOL of INDIA with Indian Accreditation from NBA and Global Accreditation from ACBSP, USA.

We extend a very hearty welcome to those who join us in this stupendous task aimed at excellence.

Let us move together with the courage of conviction !!
