The School now offers an array of Management courses at both UG and PG levels ranging from General BBA and MBA to those in Analytics, Digital Marketing, Travel and Tourism to Hospital Administration.... The School has started offering Management Development Programmes and plans to roll out a training calendar shortly. The School has also embarked on consultancy activities and plans to ramp up such initiatives. The School helped organize a series of webinars during the pandemic-induced lockdown period, with focus on digital pedagogy, entrepreneurship, digital marketing, state of higher education etc. The School has tried to connect with prospective students through the School Connect programme launched by the University.
The School aims to churn out individuals who will be professionals with an empathetic mindset, people who will have a holistic view of the world and provide solutions to pressing problems, whether at societal, individual or corporate level, by leveraging their knowledge and skillsets, people who will be lifelong learners and can deliver not only as an individual but in a team. We put maximum stress on co-learning of students and the teachers, expose the students to the huge digital resources available and extensively use analytical tools and techniques to “measure” the progress of our students. The teachers and students will stand shoulder to shoulder to implement our goals.
