Triumphant Institute of Management Education Pvt. Ltd. (T.I.M.E.) is India's leading test-prep institute with a pan-India presence and is headquartered at Hyderabad. Established in 1992, T.I.M.E. today operates out of 200 offices located in 104 towns and cities across the country. Over 50 IIT/IIM graduates form part of the core team at T.I.M.E.

T.I.M.E. is acknowledged as a multi-location, multi-programme training specialist run on corporate lines and today offers a wide range of programmes not only for national and state-level entrance exams like the CAT, MAT, IIT-JEE and AIEEE but also for international exams like GMAT, GRE, IELTS and TOEFL.

Through its Campus Recruitment Training programme, T.I.M.E. trains thousands of students every year in various engineering colleges across the country in aptitude tests and communication skills as a part of preparing them for their campus placements.

T.I.M.E. also offers a unique IIT Foundation programme aimed at students of the classes 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. This programme focuses on strengthening the student's conceptual clarity of the fundamentals in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

In keeping with its tradition of always maintaining a watchful eye on market trends and tapping them, T.I.M.E. has introduced training programmes for the Chartered Accounting CPT examination, Bank PO & Clerical exams, GATE and CSAT.

T.I.M.E. has achieved an important milestone of training more than 8 lakh students since inception and over 1.5 lakh students in the last year alone for the various entrance examinations. More than 70,000 students trusted T.I.M.E. for their preparation for the CAT 2010 exam.

When it comes to results, T.I.M.E. has always been head and shoulders above the rest. 7 T.I.M.E. students have secured 100 percentile in the CAT 2009 examination. 1212 students who enrolled for T.I.M.E.'s flagship programme, the CAT, made it to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (class of 2012). This means that one in every two students at IIMs have passed through T.I.M.E.

Not limiting itself to entrance exam training, T.I.M.E. has also successfully forayed into the pre-school segment with T.I.M.E. Kids. The pre-school chain has currently 35 schools across the four southern states. Apart from this, T.I.M.E. has also ventured into formal education with its co-educational, non-residential CBSE schools. Currently T.I.M.E. School operates out of two locations in Hyderabad.

T.I.M.E.'s performance in financial terms has been outstanding as well - it has grown from a brand turnover of Rs. 10 crores in FY 2002-03 to Rs. 183 crores in FY 2009-10. The key drivers of this success are T.I.M.E.'s commitment to students, its pan-India presence, its highly committed team of R&D professionals and its well-researched study material and unique pedagogy.

Future Plans

The company is planning to continue its aggressive growth rate by adding new courses to its product portfolio and increasing its market penetration by enhanced geographical spread.

T.I.M.E. Kids, the pre-school chain, which was launched in 2008 along with its chain of primary schools and T.I.M.E. School, are expected to be the key drivers to the ambitious plans that T.I.M.E has laid out for its growth. By 2012, T.I.M.E. is looking at over 100 pre-schools being operational.

In order to support and sustain these growth plans, T.I.M.E. plans to increase the number of full-time employees over the current base of 2000 employees in its faculty, research, management, marketing and administrative teams.

Additionally, while T.I.M.E. has already made forays into the highly challenging area of training for state-level engineering and medical entrance exams, it is now looking at achieving a national presence in these fields soon. The company expects the number of students being trained annually to increase from the current figure of about 150,000 to about 300,000 by 2013-2014.

In addition to this very creditable organic growth, T.I.M.E. is actively pursuing acquisition opportunities in the field of education and training.
