Imperial College London [2] is playing a mentoring role in the formation and operation of the School of Management and School of Commerce, and will also be the academic mentor for the School of Engineering & Technology. 25 BMU engineering students will have the opportunity to undertake a one-year MSc programme at Imperial College London Business School. Additionally, all students (BTech, BCom (Hons), BBA & MBA) will have the opportunity to join innovation camps and credit-based courses, which will include activities such as lectures, site visits, workshops, or say, writing a business plan.

BML Munjal University is a Founding Member of the India Global Higher Education Alliance, formed by the College Board.[3] BMU is one of ten institutions in India that accept the SAT domestically in their admissions process and which joined with foreign universities like University of Cambridge, MIT, Purdue, and University of Hong Kong to share best practices to improve the transition from secondary schools to higher education in India.[4]
