As a programme, BMS or Bachelor of Management Studies started by University of Mumbai in 1999. Jai Hind College was one of the first colleges in Mumbai to have started it and from that moment, it is constantly at the forefront in the sphere of BMS. The department of Management Studies, which conducted the BMS Programme was then headed by Prof. Meena Saxena, who, in a short span of time, made it one of the most sought after programmes offered by Jai Hind College. Currently, Dr.(Mrs.) Rakhi Sharma is the Coordinator of the Programme and Mr. Omkar Patki is the Assistant Coordinator.

Initially, there was a centralized entrance examination for BMS conducted by University of Mumbai, followed by an interview. From the academic year 2007-08, University replaced the entrance examination with the 12th Examination Merit based system, under which admissions are given on the basis of percentages in 12th standard examination.
