the front runner of managerial excellence for the past 26 years.
Dear Recruiter,
It gives me great pride and immense pleasure in introducing you to a new
batch of our vibrant, innovative and talented MBA graduates. IIT Kharagpur,
which is one of the oldest and prominent institutes in the country, is known for
its excellence in technology, pure sciences, social sciences and its pioneering
spirit. Vinod Gupta School of Management which is built along the lines of
Sloan School of Management, MIT but modelled after IIT Kharagpur, proudly
continues this spirit. VGSoM, established in 1993, is the first business
school to be set up in the IIT ecosystem and has been the front runner of
managerial excellence for the past 26 years. With ample opportunities being
offered by IIT Kharagpur and VGSoM itself, our students are well positioned
to tackle the challenges posed by a dynamic industry paradigm. A testament
to this is the fact that VGSoM has been consistently ranked as one of the best
Business Schools in India. We are currently ranked 6th in the list of India’s
best B-Schools as per the prestigious NIRF Rankings which is curated by
the Ministry of Human Resource Development. VGSoM, in addition to being
one of the best B-Schools in India, also has a distinct reputation of having
one of the best cultures of pedagogy in the country. VGSoM’s flagship MBA
course, which is unique to the Indian Management Education System, is
tailored to cater to the ever evolving global demands through introduction of
courses which facilitate holistic development of the students. The institute
has introduced dynamic micro-credit courses through which students
get opportunities to explore relevant and suitable courses in various other
departments of IIT Kharagpur. To expose the students to the global business
scene, VGSoM has tied up with Singapore Management University (SMU)
where students get an opportunity to enhance their practical knowledge
through projects with companies like Lendingkart, GSK, Citibank, DBS and
develop a broader interactive view of management studies with constant up-
skilling. Our primary objective is to develop industry leaders who not only
foster the growth of the global economy, but also ensure its sustainability. To
this end, we provide further impetus to individual growth by encouraging our
student fraternity to participate in a plethora of competitions of national and
international significance. VGSoM, IIT Kharagpur also conducts Management
Development Programme where professionals from diverse organizations
enroll to develop and become abreast with the latest topics in management.
Being an institute of higher learning, we are ever receptive to innovative
ideas and we try to implement them in a manner that has maximum social
and organizational impact. For over two and half decades, the alumni of our
college have been instrumental in the successes of countless organizations.
Their dedication and organizational discipline are a product of the eclectic
environment of VGSoM.
I would like to cordially invite you for the final placements and the summer
internship placements for the academic year 2019-2020. I would also
like to extend our commitment to engage in a long term and mutually
enriching relationship with your esteemed organization.
