3.1

The Academic Year

The program of two years duration is divided into two academic years. Each academic year comprises of two semesters of 17 weeks duration each. After the first academic year, students undertake 12 weeks Summer Internship Program (SIP). In the second academic year, students can opt for Management Research Project (MRP) as an elective. Semesters are hereinafter referred to as First, Second, Third and Fourth semesters for easy understanding. The semester-wise program consists of a prescribed set of courses. Each course offered during the semester is generally allotted 33 classroom sessions (for a 3 credit course) of 1 hour 15 minutes each. The number of hours of work to be put in by the student for a particular course depends upon the number of credits allotted for that course. A credit is a convenient unit which denotes the estimated time required to be put in by a student for the course during the week, including classroom sessions. One credit involves 11 sessions of classroom instructions per semester. Most of the courses are 3-credit courses and the minimum number of credits for which students will be evaluated during the two-year period is specified in the Program structure.
3.2

Section - 4 Teaching and Evaluation Teaching and evaluation at IBS, Hyderabad are customized to reflect the objectives of MBA program, with each course being delivered in a manner that maximizes the learning experience of students.
4.1

Teaching

The objective of teaching goes far beyond the transfer of knowledge and skills - the true purpose of our pedagogy is to create the potential for improvement in the students. Teaching is to arouse the curiosity of students, generate habits of rational thinking and equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary for effective decision making. While classroom instruction helps students organize, correlate and comprehend facts and ideas, faculty has the added responsibility of encouraging them to think beyond the text books. MBA aims at multiple skill development and to that end some of the teaching and evaluation components involve group efforts with active collaboration amongst the students with the faculty as facilitators of learning. Students are expected to optimize their learning process by availing the library, computers and other facilities provided at the campus. Pedagogy A successful manager should be able to identify and frame business problems and move across a variety of organizational, political and geographic boundaries to solve problems. The pedagogy adopted by IBS Hyderabad chooses to nurture and enhance this skill in the management students. IBS Hyderabad has adopted the student centric learning style and case discussion is the primary pedagogy used in the teaching-learning process. The other tools and resources used at the school include simulation, audio & video clippings, experiential sharing in the form of invited lectures from practioners, live projects and assignments and internships. Case Pedagogy A case is a story or situation that one encounters in real life careers. Cases illustrate issues and factors and reveal realistic complexities and tensions. Cases compel students to identify the problem on hand and define its context and parameters. It provides an opportunity to reflect on the theoretical framework and underscore prevailing assumptions and principles. It helps the student learn the art of self learning which is required throughout career. Conceptually, case teaching assumes that learning is more effective if students discover or construct knowledge with faculty guidance than if they sit passively and receive content from a distant sage on the stage. Case teaching enhances learning by engaging students in very powerful ways. Case teaching actively connects students with course content and shifts responsibility for learning to students. With faculty as their guide, students discover a body of knowledge and master life learning skills.

13

Student Handbook - Class of 2014

The case method gives students the vital practice to get their hands around and to formulate possible tools for analysis and resolution. They learn to distinguish relevant and irrelevant information and formulate possible strategies and recommendations for action. The case method also develops communication skills students need in informal, spontaneous discussions and at professional meetings. Students learn to penetrate the substance of the case quickly and analyse and articulate their conclusions in ways persuasive to others in the group. Students learn to anticipate questions and objections of others and ways to convince their point of view to the group. Facts, principles and concepts learnt in the course of the case discussion are grounded well and better. Course Syllabus The syllabus is comprehensive and is updated regularly based on inputs from faculty, subject matter experts, visiting business leaders and accomplished alumni. It also offers the flexibility to focus on specific areas of interest. Core and elective courses with group projects and autonomous learning allow students to develop their full potential.
4.2

The detailed syllabus provides information regarding each course offered in various semesters, the topics to be discussed, and relevant reference books. It also contains a list of case studies to be discussed in each course and the suggested schedule of sessions for classroom instruction and case discussion. The syllabus for each course is available on intranet. Students should note that the main reference book does not determine the syllabus. It may not cover the entire syllabus and may also include additional topics not mentioned in the syllabus. For this reason, students are strongly advised to refer to the other reference books specified for each course. Apart from reading course specific books, students are expected to read financial dailies, business magazines and browse relevant websites. An important part of IBS education is developing student ability to apply course based inputs to understand and interpret current events. The Course Handout: The course handout is given by the faculty to the student at the beginning of each course. It provides the detailed schedule of instruction, format and scope of assessment. It is a communication that facilitates effective academic delivery. The Course handout is an important document that gives students a clear picture regarding the learning objectives, expected outcomes, and other course related information such as pace, coverage, level of treatment, reading assignment, home tasks, components of evaluation, their frequency, duration, tentative schedule, relative weightage of various component and faculty consultation hours. The faculty plays a significant role in ensuring quality education through interactive teaching, continuous multi criteria evaluation and consistent feedback.

14

Student Handbook - Class of 2014

Faculty Consultation: The faculty for each course will be available for consultation, once a week at a prescribed hour. The day and time of consultation is announced in the course handout. During this time, students can approach them for clarification of doubts. Evaluation The purpose of evaluation is to assess the learning of students and their relative position vis- a-vis the class. Evaluation is a judgment about the level of merit or worth of the student in terms of learning and assimilation.
4.3

Evaluation Scheme: The evaluation scheme comprises of continual evaluation, written analysis of case and written examinations. The schedule for continual evaluation and marks allotted for each of the components, are announced by the faculty in their respective course handouts. The evaluation components may vary from course to course and typically consist of class participation in case discussion, project work, home assignments, seminars, tests and surprise quizzes. The evaluation is evenly spread throughout the semester and incorporates individual as well as team performance. Comprehensive Examination: Comprehensive examinations are the written components of the evaluation(s) covering entire syllabus for the entire course, conducted at the end of the semester. The purpose of the examination is to test the students understanding of concepts, tools and techniques, their practical application, analytical abilities and problem solving skills and students ability to provide interdisciplinary perspectives. Comprehensive exam is not mandatory for all courses. Faculty members teaching the course for the semester, together with the Academics Coordinators will collectively decide, on the evaluation scheme and comprehensive exam. The weightage for continual evaluations and comprehensive exam will be clearly communicated to the students in the course handout at the beginning of the semester. Evaluation Components: Multiple evaluation components used are aimed toward testing the students for attributes like spontaneous recall, ability to apply concepts, capacity to work independently and in teams, competence in conceptualized arguments and ability to face unknown situations. The evaluations are periodically conducted throughout the semester. The continual evaluation components include case studies, projects, assignments, seminars, term papers, viva, quiz and written examination, some of which are chosen to suit the course requirements. The faculty for each course gives feedback to the students on their performance in the continual evaluation components. The faculty may choose 4 to 5 evaluation components including written examination and would communicate the detailed evaluation plan and weightage of each component in the course handouts.

15

Student Handbook - Class of 2014

Some of the evaluation components may be common across different sections. For example, in some courses written examination may be used as one of the common continual evaluation components. These are conducted after 14 to 16 sessions and are referred to as mid-semester examination. Evaluation feedback: Feedback on student performance is provided at regular intervals. The evaluated answer scripts will be shown to the students and clarifications, if any, will be provided. Wherever possible, the performance of the students in the evaluation components will be discussed in the class detailing the highest, lowest and average performances. Plagiarism: Presenting others work / material as ones own is plagiarism. Plagiarism includes reproducing others ideas, opinions, theories, graphics, language, quotes (written or oral), facts, statistics and illustrative material, etc. without acknowledgement. Plagiarism would result in academic action against students leading to
a. b.

In the first instance a written warning. In case of repetition, cancellation of the registration of the course.

Student feedback: Students are required to provide their comprehensive feedback on course delivery by the faculty and their teaching methodology. The purpose of feedback is to gather information on the learning experience of the students and improve the effectiveness of the course delivery process. The feedback provided by the students is kept confidential. Comprehensive Students Feedback is taken for the semester between 24 and 30 sessions. Attendance To foster a culture of serious academic learning, students must maintain a minimum of 75% attendance in each course. Students who fail to meet the minimum attendance requirement in a course will not be permitted to take the comprehensive examination at the end of the semester leading to award of NC (not cleared) report for the course. In such case the student will be permitted to re- register for the course in next regular offering.
4.4

Students have to make sure that they have a minimum attendance of 60% at all times during the semester. The student will be awarded an F grade for the internal evaluation component which is conducted when the attendance of the student is less than 60%. Student should ensure that attendance is marked properly for every session attended. It is the responsibility of the students to maintain the required attendance by checking their attendance regularly on the intranet.

16

Student Handbook - Class of 2014

Leaves of Absence: Generally, students are not encouraged to apply for leave of absence as this will disrupt the momentum of study and may hinder or delay the acquisition of degree. However on medical, compassionate grounds or special circumstances student can apply for leave by giving a written application accompanied by supporting documents. However, the loss of sessions, attendance, evaluation, and examination will not be compensated. Unfair Practices Students are prohibited from resorting to unfair practices during any assessment component. Any of the following events (inclusive but not exhaustive) will be considered as unfair practice(s) during continual evaluation, assignment and examinations.
4.5 a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i.

Possessing unauthorized material like notes or small slips in pockets, or on body or in any other form like cell phones, vanity bags and purses, whether used or not. Copying from other students.

Section - 5 Internship and Research Project Internship and Research Project form an important component of education at IBS Hyderabad. Each of these provides a chance for students to bridge the gap in their perception between the academic institution and corporate world. Summer Internship Program (SIP) Students undertake internship at a relevant organization for a period of 14 weeks (inclusive of evaluation period at the campus) during the intervening period between close of Semester II and commencement of Semester III. The program carries a weightage of 10 credits. The internship, which would be a simulation of real work environment, requires students to undergo the rigor of professional environment both in form and substance. SIP exposes the students to technical skills, and helps them to acquire social skills by drawing them into contact with real professionals. Summer Internship Program outside Hyderabad: Students may be permitted to pursue SIP outside Hyderabad, subject to the following criteria:
5.1 a. b. c. d. e. f.

Should have minimum GPA of 6.00 in the first semester. Should have good academic performance record in the second semester. Should have good financial standing i.e., no fee dues. Should not have been involved in any cases of unfair means. Should not have any background of disciplinary action. Should have submitted SIP confirmation letter from the SIP Company with the details of the company, business and company guide.

A student doing SIP outside Hyderabad will not be permitted to under take summer term exam. If such a student does not meet the minimum academic CGPA required at the end of second semester, the student can still continue & complete SIP, but will not be permitted to progress to third semester. The student will be required to repeat the Semester 3 courses in the next regular offering. It is the responsibility of the student to note this point while opting for SIP outside Hyderabad. Management Research Project (MRP) The objective of the Management Research Project (MRP) is to broaden the knowledge base and understand the latest trends and developments in the chosen field of management, to provide experience in the application of concepts, tools and techniques and to develop an overall managerial perspective. MRP encourages and drives the students towards autonomous learning and exposes them to crucial managerial behavioral practices such as regularity, ability to meet deadlines, sense of responsibility, initiative and leadership, diligence and adaptability. It helps the student to cultivate the regular habit of documentation, effective presentation and articulation.
5.2
18

Student Handbook - Class of 2014

The project involves application of concepts, tools and techniques to real world problems or research on the latest developments in the chosen field of management. MRP generally covers any one or more of the following areas:

Comprehensive research in the latest developments / trends. Research on the current issues / problems being faced in the industry. Extension of the project / research undertaken during SIP. Study and analysis of specific organizational issues / problems. Application of managerial tools and techniques to real-life problems. Lab-based projects.

Students may opt for MRP as an elective during fourth semester under the guidance of faculty. It carries a weightage of 3 credits, equivalent to a regular course. The research/project work is continuously evaluated at different stages by the faculty members. At the end of the research/project work, students have to give a presentation and also defend their methodology, reasoning and findings during a discussion and question-answer session. MRP motivates students towards autonomous learning and develops their presentation skills. It instills in students managerial qualities like punctuality, responsibility, leadership, adaptability and time management. Grading of SIP and MRP On completion of SIP and MRP, grades are awarded to students based on their performance. Students who do not give sufficient opportunity for evaluation are awarded NC report. Students with NC report in SIP will have to repeat the internship in the next regular offering on payment of prescribed fee.

Grading Policy The School does not emphasize on numerical marks as the only absolute indication of the students performance. Thus, at the end of the semester, letter grades A, B, C, D or E are awarded to students for each course based on their overall performance, which is relative to the performance of all students evaluated.
7.1

Section - 7 Grading and Certification

Letter Grades The letter grades have points associated with them in a quantified hierarchy. The letter grades, their applicability and connotation are given below:
a.

Grade A B C D E

Qualitative Meaning Excellent Very Good Average Fair Exposed

Grade Point Associated 10 8 6 4 2
