The course is designed to provide specialized training in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, General Management, Procurement and Logistics Management. The MBA programme aims at developing a student’s intellectual ability, executive personality and managerial skills through an appropriate blending of business and general education. The MBA curriculum provides students with a comprehensive management education of globally recognized best practices with flexibility of their adaptation to indigenous entrepreneurial and societal context. The increasing competition in the business sector calls for development of a human capital base equipped with managerial competences to deal with the global trends of contemporary business.

There is a remarkable increase in the demand of managerial skills in the wake of liberalized economies, elsewhere in developing countries. This in turn has created a need for managers who are capable of handling the emerging challenges and opportunities.
