The two-year, full-time, residential Post Graduate Programme (MBA), is designed to equip students to take on leadership roles in a rapidly changing global scenario.
With three terms in a year and summer internship on completion of first year, the Programme lays foundation for conceptual and analytical reasoning, and gives students an insight into the dynamics of the business environment. Guest lectures, by various academicians, industrialists, and eminent personalities, also enrich student experience.
Courses are delivered and evaluated through a combination of lectures, classroom discussions, case studies, individual and group projects, term papers, role plays, business games etc.
The first-year students are exposed to basic concepts in the areas of Behavioural Sciences, Economics, Finance & Accounting, Marketing, Quantitative Methods & Information Systems, Operations, Public Policy, Strategy, and Communications through the 'core courses'. These compulsory courses are aimed to develop problem-solving skills and lay foundation for all the functional areas of management.
During the first year, a student is required to do 41 core credits and 9 elective credits.
Elective Courses
In addition to core courses, students also get to choose courses from a list of electives which enable them to get an in-depth knowledge. There is greater emphasis on the application of knowledge gained through projects, group exercises and case discussions.
IIMV provides an opportunity to select electives in the first year in Term 3. In the second year, students are required to do a minimum of 45 elective credits.
