Off late, we have seen many management schools coming into the space of social sector where they have become the agents of change or reform. From Innovation to Impact to empower students to become responsible leaders to become the social change agents for tomorrow. One core idea that underpins the way in which this course is the belief that students are active knowledge creators rather than passive learners. This is blended and flipped classroom method that creates an environment in which students are active participants and in which they feel inspired.

Developing Entrepreneurship and Business Acumen, A Management graduate remains naïve unless he has the Entrepreneurial skills. These skills are to be inculcated from various dimensions and one way is to build it as part of the education system. Entrepreneurship skills should be developed as life skills rather than an economic activity. Motivating the child to grow with an enterprising spirit, accepting new challenges and finding new opportunities, developing management capability through live projects, motivating and teaching students to overcome the external and internal barriers of entrepreneurship and maximizing the opportunity for experiential learning.

Most MBA programs are organized in two phases. Students first go through a fixed menu of compulsory core courses, and then move on to a smorgasbord of electives from which they can pick and choose in complete freedom. The customized phase of our curriculum has been carefully designed to maximize the student’s flexibility in accordance to their career objectives. It is for this reason that MBA Graduates are made to choose from multiple specializations like (entrepreneurship, marketing, advanced management, finance and strategy etc) that give students a structured curriculum around a particular field of interest. However, in the current scenario, do we need to remain a specialist, or a generalist has more future in years to come?
