Focus on Life Goals and Management Skills
At the beginning of the programme, Dean of the Faculty of Management Prof Dipin Mathur addressed the students and encouraged future managers to recognise the importance of life goals and time in shaping their lives.
He encouraged students to undertake self-analysis, develop new skills and prepare themselves for a professional course like an MBA so that they could achieve success in securing their desired employment.
Students were encouraged to identify their strengths and weaknesses and focus on improving their personalities. They were also introduced to management skills and informed about how an MBA differs from other traditional courses.
The MBA teaching methodology includes case studies, role plays and discussions on economic stories, which help students gain practical knowledge.
