Three management graduates – two of them from IIM, Ahmedabad and the third from XLRI, Jamshedpur, envisioned an opportunity in Professional Entrance Training for CAT exams to qualify for admission to IIMs – India’s most reputed and among the world’s best B-Schools. They went on to set up a training institute – Triumphant Institute of Management Education (T.I.M.E.) in 1992 at Hyderabad.

An indigenously developed training programme they formulated started bringing in the results. Recognition followed with more and more students from T.I.M.E. making it into the IIMs and other reputed B-Schools across the country.

However Manek Daruvala, Pramod Kumar and P. Viswanath – the entrepreneur trio didn’t stop there. They established more centres at Hyderabad and gradually moved into other cities, responding positively to the trends that emerged. More professionals – qualified and experienced in Training and Management, joined the T.I.M.E. team and its faculty ensuring quality with growth. Constant innovation, excellent classroom teaching, quality course material, and careful evaluation have brought about excellent results year after year.

In just a decade and a half, T.I.M.E. has grown into a specialist, multi-location, multi-programme training provider running on corporate lines.

At T.I.M.E. we believe in letting our results do the talking. Last year students who were part of our flagship program and were training for the CAT, performed impressively with 773 students making it to the IIMs. This represents approximately 51.5% of all seats at the IIMs. These results have also been validated by KPMG, an independent, internationally reputed audit firm.

With 151 offices in 81 cities across the country, T.I.M.E. today is truly pan-national, but with a local focus as well. While T.I.M.E. offers training for national level exams like the CAT, NIMCET, IIT-JEE, AIEEE, etc., it also caters to local needs with training for exams like the ICET in Andhra Pradesh, the Maharashtra CET, and other local exams in different states. T.I.M.E. also offers training for international tests such as the GRE® test, the GMAT^® and the TOEFL^® iBT.

Besides an expansion in its product portfolio, the company has also grown as an organization. Today T.I.M.E. has over 1700+ full-time employees (including those employed by its franchisies) in its Faculty, Research, Management, Marketing & Admin. teams.

Financially, the last few years have been rewarding. T.I.M.E. achieved an impressive brand turnover of Rs. 150 Crores and has been growing at a CAGR of over 60% for the last 5 years.

In the emerging role that India is playing in providing high skill work force, the demand from professional institutes is bound to grow. This will add impetus to the emerging industry segment of professional entrance exam training.
