TASMAC... A Unique Educational Paradigm
TASMAC is a new generation B-School that understands the needs of the integrated global economy and is
geared up to deliver quality management education to fulfill these needs.
Anticipating these global trends way back in the early nineties, TASMAC pioneered a new model of
education, based on saying 'NO' to boundaries, where students are free to acquire the best education in their
chosen area, from anywhere in the world. In the process, they laid the foundation of high quality British
Management Education in India.
Today, TASMAC has a large educational network with state-of-the-art campuses in Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata,
Mumbai and London.
TASMAC is the first institution from India to have set up a campus in London. The University of Wales quality
assured programmes are now also offered at the TASMAC London campus.

PREPARING STUDENTS FOR A COMPETITIVE WORLD

To prepare students for this fiercely competitive world, and thereby, the emerging opportunities, TASMAC
offers a well structured Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership (PGDGBL) from IGNOU
progressing to the University of Wales MBA degree for students interested in an internationally recognised
qualification.
This is great news for TASMAC students - they can now get dual awards :
• Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership (PGDGBL) from IGNOU; and
• MBA from University of Wales, UK.
This programme is quality assured by the University of Wales, the second largest University in the UK. The
University has quality assured all the TASMAC systems and procedures and is actively involved in ensuring
the quality of the programme.

UNIVERSITY OF WALES

higher education students in Wales, as well as for many at other higher education institutions in the United
Kingdom and overseas.
The University is the degree-awarding authority not only for the Accredited and Affiliated Institutions, but also
for over 100 other higher education institutions both within the United Kingdom and overseas, with which it

IGNOU's Centre for Corporate Education Training and Consultancy (CCETC)
In this age of life-long learning, a paradigm shift is taking place in the Indian education system. There is a
growing demand for recognized, quality educational programmes which would allow young aspirants to
acquire newer abilities. To address this need IGNOU has recently set up a new Centre for Corporate
Education, Training and Consultancy. The objective of the centre is to develop programmes in corporate
education consistent with the requirements of the corporate sector/industry. The programmes taken up by
the centre will focus on capacity building of human resources for the corporate sector. It intends to produce
highly employable graduates of the highest possible quality by forging linkages with business and industry.

MBA FROM UNIVERSITY OF WALES, UK

In recognition of the high standards of the Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Leadership offered at
TASMAC, the University of Wales accepts credits of this programme. After successful completion of this
programme, the students can enrol with any validated institution of University of Wales to complete the
dissertation component (60 credits) and to gain an MBA directly from University of Wales, UK.

TASMAC CAMPUSES
Being a truly global institution of learning, TASMAC has set up its full-fledged campuses in Pune, Mumbai,
Bangalore, Kolkata in India and in London, UK.
Pune: Pune, the education capital of India, represents a blend of inspiring history and rich literary, cultural
and social traditions. Pune today is a modern metro with global leaders in IT, Automobile and other
industries present in all their strength. The city offers a unique blend of lifestyle and opportunity.
Bangalore: Bangalore, with its lush green environs, is the I.T. hub of the nation, a global think tank and
centre for technology and innovation for multinationals and corporates. This supremely cosmopolitan yet
delightfully traditional city is an unending source of joy.
Kolkata: Kolkata, with its commitment to ideologies, love of arts and passion for sports truly does justice to
the epithet 'City of Joy'. This truly modern yet sublimely spiritual city is the original culture capital of India.
Learning is worshipped in this city that is the home of highly respected thinkers and maestros.
Mumbai: Today, more than ever before, Mumbai is poised for a quantum thrust towards being a global
financial capital. And TASMAC has chosen one of the most coveted and prime areas for its campus -
Bandra, a suburb which is a stone's throw away from the prestigious Bandra-Kurla Complex, the emerging,
modern day business address today. The campus, located in the premises of Bhausaheb Hiray College,
has been inspected by the University of Wales and duly validated for conducting the prestigious MBA (part
time) courses.
London: London is unarguably the world's greatest city. Glorious history, rich traditions... London
represents a fine blend of history and traditions. A global business and finance hub, a melting pot of
cultures, a bustling modern metro... London is the place to be in, as a platform for a high flying global career.
All TASMAC campuses are fully equipped with world-class classrooms, conference rooms, seminar rooms,
computer labs and an impressive library facility. The vibrant, informal atmosphere is conducive to learning,
with facilities for de-stressing and relaxation.

LEARNING METHODOLOGY

• Teaching Ethos
The TASMAC approach to teaching is simple but effective. Our aim is to help students
maximise their potential by ensuring that they are taught clearly and effectively so as to
facilitate success in the course assessments and examinations - which lead to success in
their careers.

• Modes of Delivery
A variety of modes of delivery are adopted by the lecturers at TASMAC, and include
seminars, workshops and case studies.

Lectures
Lectures at TASMAC are used primarily to identify and explain key aspects of the subject
so that students can utilise their private study time more effectively. Our lecture ethos is to
guide, explain and teach, rather than to merely transmit factual material which can be
readily obtained from the recommended texts through private study.

Seminars
Seminars complement the lectures very well. They are interactive sessions conducted by
students. They give students an excellent opportunity to clarify any points of difficulty with
the tutor and simultaneously develop their verbal communication skills.

Workshops
Workshops are an innovative form of student-centered learning. They involve students
working in small groups, but with a difference. The students lead and the tutor acts as a
facilitator. The sessions consider problems, essay questions and case studies, and tackle
the conceptually challenging aspects of the subject.

Case Studies
Case studies enable the students to apply the concepts that they learn in their subjects.
The students have to study the case, analyse the facts presented, and arrive at
conclusions and recommendations. The case study tests the student's ability to apply to
the real world the tools and techniques of analysis which they have learnt. The case study
serves as a supplement to the theoretical knowledge imparted through the course work.

• Ongoing Practice and Assessment of Communication Skills

Communication skills evolve through repeated practice. Each module that a student takes
has been evaluated for the transferable skills that a student will gain in that particular
module. These general / transferable skills are:
• Report writing • Verbal communication • Written communication • Presentation skills
• Information gathering • Group work • Self management • Time management • Change
management • Problem solving • Numeracy • IT skills • Creativity

• Assessments
Since the programmes at TASMAC are quality assured by a British University, they conform
to the high academic and evaluation standards expected out of British programmes.
Each piece of assessment is marked twice, once by the tutor of the module and then by an
external examiner to ensure that marking has been done keeping in view the high demands
on quality. The programmes are challenging and students tend to enjoy the high pressures
of these programmes.
