Highlights of the MBA @ IITM (Website: www.doms.iitm.ac.in ) MBA@IITM has been designed keeping in view today's dynamic business environment, and the consequent need to develop unique, young management talent to work proactively in this environment - talent that will respond as well as steer the dynamics. The programme structure and curriculum have been designed after a detailed study of some of the best B-schools worldwide. A few pioneering innovations have also been made in the programme. The highlights are presented below: Unique Pedagogy - The MBA@IITM programme is structured uniquely with courses spread over eight quarters with only four/five courses per quarter. This gives students an optimal learning experience to enable them develop a well-rounded professional personality by engaging in a variety of constructive activities including taking courses on audit, going on field visits, participating in various management workshops and competitions, organizing special professional events, and working on live business projects. Industrial and Business Domains - One of the glaring gaps in management education today is the lack of industry-specific knowledge and a thorough process-level understanding of organizations in various domains (verticals). This programme includes three core courses on various Industrial and Business Domains spread over the last three quarters. Course Audits - Students of MBA@IITM can opt for auditing courses from any of the elective courses ...

The festival is traditionally held over four days and five nights during the first fortnight in October, and has so far seen eight editions, having started in its current avatar in the year 2000. It attracts participants from all over India, and seeks to provide collegiate students with a platform to showcase their scientific and engineering talents.
