MBA Program
MBA was offered till 2008. It was organized as a 21-month, four term program. The courses are broadly classified into hard core, soft core and electives. The hard core courses enable students to acquire fundamental skills in various management disciplines, while the soft core and electives are tailor made to cater to individual interests. In addition to class room teaching there are mandatory industry projects which need to be undertaken. At the end of first year, every student was stipulated to undergo an internship in industry for a minimum period of eight weeks. During fourth semester, students were taking up industrial projects, which usually doubles up as MBA thesis project.
From 2011 August, Master of Management Program is offered. The eligibility criteria is same as the earlier MBA program. Considering the contemporary demands of the society and industry, M.Mgmt course is first of its kind to specialize in Technology Management and Business Analytics. The highly quantitative and technology oriented curriculum nurtures graduate engineers to become competent and socially responsible management leaders in technology intensive and data driven organizations. The rigorous selection process involves shortlisting of nearly 300 students from about 3000 applicants and finally selecting 15 students.
