Objectives of Master of Administration (MBA) Programme

Management education in India has come a long way. However it has remained
predominantly as a derivative of western management education system. No significant steps
have been taken so far to Indianize the management education in the country. Instead, there is
a greater need to increase its horizon other areas besides large-scale industry. Management so
far has largely remained large-industry oriented. Therefore, management education so far has
been considered elitist. Hence there is only miniscule percentage of people who have
harnessed their management education to their dreams of establishing organizations. There is
still a huge gap between demand and supply of management graduates even though there is a
mushrooming of management institutes in the country.
Department of Humanities and Management Dr B R Ambedkar National Institute of
Technology intends to offer Master of Business administration programme in a thoughtful
way with a strong concern to benefit the sectors that have largely remained unmanaged. The
pace of industrial development in Punjab has remained relatively low during the past many
years. But now the state is striving for rapid and progressive industrial growth. The
department will endeavour to facilitate the regional industry in terms of improving their
operational efficiencies, better financial planning and distinct market positioning. The
management programme of the department will encourage the students to take the projects
concerning the contemporary issues of the local industry. It will not only help the local
industry but will also provide challenging opportunities to the students to have first-hand
experience to take on the issues relating to the industry that is still naive. It will help such
industrial units to get rid of their long-lasting nebulous state.
The department has a special plan for establishing Case Research Centre that will be a
platform for the students to connect with the industrial organizations and society in general.
The students will write cases on the latest issues of the industry and changing consumption
patterns that will be further discussed and analysed in students forums. At present,
management students in majority of the business schools are still given case studies of west
or that are written by the leading schools of the world. Its access is limited to only few
leading schools of the country. The case research centre will facilitate and train students to
develop innovative approaches to tackle latest industrial issues and will enhance their
development into confident and versatile managers. The cases so written will not only be
helpful to the students of the department but will also be available on-line for all other
business schools of the country.
