This initiative was driven by the imperative need to keep our academic offerings relevant, industry-aligned, and futuristic, thereby nurturing a cadre of competent and innovative professionals. The committee, comprising esteemed members from academia and industry, has worked diligently over the past several weeks to develop a comprehensive and industry-aligned curriculum that caters to the evolving needs of the management education landscape in India.
