IFIM was established in 1995 by the DSIJ (Dalal Street Investment Journal) Group and was promoted by the Centre for Developmental Education (CDE). Over the years, the IFIM Group has carved a niche for itself as a front-runner for quality education in India. The Mission of IFIM is to nurture holistic, socially responsible and continuously employable professionals.
The IFIM Group, with the support of the CDE, has established many academic institutions, including the JAGSOM School Management, IFIM College and the IFIM School Law.
Born in 1935 and brought up in a humble environment, Shri V.B.Padode is a source of inspiration for generations alike. His humility in the face of exemplary acheivements and relentless efforts in the field of education are a testimony of his personality and the aura of his outlook. He pioneered financial journalism in the country by creating India’s largest and the most circulated investment magazine Dalal Street Investment Journal (DSIJ).
His impeccable career in CSO, stint as an Indian Revenue Services officer and as the Chairman of IFIM (CDE) and founder of DSIJ, speak volumes of his illustrous career. His passion for literacy resulted in more number of publications in the financial market. Some of the successful publications are the Stock Market Book, Corporate Results, PSU’s of India, Top Golden 400 companies of India and Business School Directory, including the book titled, ‘Making and Unmaking of Prime Ministers of India’ which has been very well-received by readers.

Education is about unlocking one’s potential. Whilst many measure the outcome of education with job placements, the best way of measuring the outcome is to feel enriched, enabled and enlightened.
IFIM College’s mission to nurture holistic, socially responsible and continuously employable professionals drives the institution to curate academic and pedagogical interventions designed for providing students the opportunity for self-discovery and holistic development of their respective strengths. The faculty and staff at IFIM College are trained to treat each student independently and work on enhancing their individual strengths and competence. This is indeed a herculean task, but we believe this is the most tested method for enabling every student for success.
I am very proud of our faculty and their commitment to teaching and learning. The faculty enjoys academic freedom to innovate and customise pedagogical techniques to enhance the learning experience of the student. The curriculum of IFIM College has been curated to impact every aspect of the students living and learning. The ambience of the institution is continuously being worked upon to provide an immersive learning experience to our students. Our curriculum encompasses curricular, co-curricular and extra- curricular activities by awarding learning credits to all activities without discriminating between them. Our belief in adaptive learning provides students with the opportunity to learn at their own respective pace.
We believe it’s important to learn, reflect and imbibe through practice and hence our practice courses provide ample opportunity to our students to apply their learnings in diverse contexts be it social, individualistic and corporate.
IFIM College all in all is the laboratory for a student to learn by doing, learn through experimentation and learn by creating new knowledge.
Happy to welcome faculty, students and staff into this family provided they share this common belief.
