Business Administration with a concentration in Business Management, MBA


The MBA with a concentration in business management is a general management program, with a cohort structure that offers a lock-step, planned curriculum. It is a full-time, highly intensive program with strong industry interaction. The goal of this program is to provide students a comprehensive knowledge about business and help develop the capability of dealing with real business situations. The program will not only expose students to explicit knowledge about various aspects of business, but also help translate this into tacit knowledge and capability. The goals are achieved through a learning environment that relies heavily on experiential learning, teamwork and strong industry interaction. The aim is to develop and nurture future managers and business leaders who are change agents, and create value by integrating diverse resources, knowledge and capabilities.
