MBA

edit

The MBA program is a two-year program structured with courses spread over seven quarters and about five to six courses per quarter. The first year contains core courses that are compulsory for all students, whereas the second year mostly has electives and a few core courses. During the summer break between the first and second years, students work on a summer project with a company.

Apart from regular academics, course activities include auditing courses, field visits, participating in management workshops, organizing professional events, and working on live business projects. The program includes three core courses on industrial and business domains over the last three quarters.

Students of the program can opt for auditing courses (i.e. taking classes but not assignments or exams and not receiving credits) from any of the elective courses offered by the Department of Management Studies or from the more than 300 courses offered by the other 14 departments in the institute.

Co-curricular courses offered at the department include business communication and presentation skills, negotiation skills, teamwork and conflict resolution skills, time management, business etiquette, and foreign languages (primarily German).

The batch size is 60 to 70 students, picked from over 250,000 applicants who take the Common Admission Test (CAT) conducted by the Indian Institutes of Management, followed by a Group Task/Personal interview session later on. Until 2011, admission was based on the Joint Management Entrance Test (JMET) conducted by the IITs and Indian Institute of Science in rotation. From the academic year 2012, JMET is replaced with the Common Admission Test.[2]

Selection of candidates is made on the basis of academic background, which has to be first division/first class from school (SLC/ Madhyamik) board examination level to graduation level, relevant work experience, employer’s recommendations, performance in the aptitude test and personal interview conducted jointly by IIMC, IITK, and IITM. For self-sponsored candidates, a minimum of four and a half years to a maximum of ten years of work experience in manufacturing and related sectors is mandatory. For sponsored candidates, the upper limit on maximum experience of 10 years is waived.[5] Approximate batch size is 35-40.
