MBA
Program
The two-year Master of Business Administration
programme at Vinod Gupta School of Management, IIT
Kharagpur aims to enable students to inculcate managerial
capacity synergized with modern and industry-oriented
technical skill sets. The programme is designed to cater
to the graduate engineers and Master’s degree holders
in science, economics and commerce. The programme
evolves in accordance with the pace of change in the
business environment, to keep the learning relevant to the
industry and larger society. As the landscape of education
has changed in an unimaginable way after the pandemic,
the programme evolved itself to incorporate virtual
learning and continuous evaluation, while retaining all
the key aspects of the offline course – case studies, group
assignments, live projects and interactions with industry
experts. The faculty team for the MBA programme consists
of subject-matter experts with substantial and hands-on
real-world business experience. The addition of “Learning
Business Outside Classroom '' as a mandatory course saw
students work in close collaborations with entrepreneurs
and small-scale enterprises, and helped them gain deep
insights into the challenges and dynamics of operating a
business.
The programme’s learning is augmented by a mandatory
two-month summer internship project, wherein students
get the opportunity to work and contribute in real-life
business scenarios that occur in the corporate world.
The core subjects under this programme include Human
Resource Management, Production and Operations,
Marketing, Finance, Information System Management,
Organizational Behavior, Economics, Strategic
Management, Legal Aspects of Business, Business Ethics,
Quantitative Techniques and Business Communication.
Students also have the option to choose various electives
apart from the core courses. The electives include AI &
Business Law, Intellectual Property Management, Change
Management, Algorithm Design and Machine Learning,
Conflict Resolution and Management and International
Commercial Arbitration and many more. These electives
are available to the students through various departments
of IIT and they encourage students to pursue his/her
individual interests in greater depth. To build leadership
and administrative skills, all peripheral administrative
functions in the programme are delegated to appropriate
student teams.
