MMS is a comprehensive Post-Graduate Degree Programme that aims to develop students into innovative thinkers and successful managers. It refines their skills to meet the requirements of the Industry.
The course structure provides a perfect combination of conceptual framework and practical insights to tackle business challenges. This programme is conducted semester-wise with four semesters spread over two academic years.
In the second year, students have the choice of five specialization areas:
The Institute focusses on a continuous evaluation process. It follows the University prescribed Choice Based Semester Grading System (CBSGS), which mandates that every student is required to complete 10 hours of learning in order to gain 01 credit point. The total credits attainable by a student in a span of two years are 120 points.
It is compulsory for every student to be present at lectures. The parameters for evaluation include attendance, class participation, case study analysis and discussion, online and offline class tests, assignments, projects, presentations and end-term examinations.
The student is required to separately pass in internal and end-term examinations. The Institute also applies a scaling down process in order to ensure that the difference in the percentage of marks scored in the internal assessment and the term end examination does not exceed more than 20%.
