The hard core courses enable students to acquire fundamental skills in various management disciplines, while the soft core and electives are tailor-made to cater to individual interests. In addition to class room teaching there are mandatory industry projects which need to be undertaken. At the end of first year, every student was stipulated to undergo an internship in industry for a minimum period of eight weeks. During fourth semester, students were taking up industrial projects, which usually doubles up as Mmgt thesis project.
