Classroom Teaching

The new MBA programme offered by SPPU from this year, is an Outcome Based Education and Outcome Based Assessment programme. The outcome based education implies there is a performer (student) and the focus is on performance of the students, not the activity or task to be performed. The new curriculum takes MBA programme to the next level. The programme can be completed in four semesters and the curriculum is based on Choice Based Credit and Grading System. The syllabus offers wide choice for students to opt for various courses based on their interest, aptitude and career goals. The programme enables a student to obtain a degree by accumulating the required number of credits prescribed for the course. The programme has well defined five Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs), ten Programme Outcomes (POs) and Programme Specific outcomes (PSOs) for the specialization courses, which are to be developed by respective institutes.

The Choice Based Credit System provides the students with an academically rich, highly flexible, learning system, blended with abundant provision for skill development and a practical orientation. The curriculum, in addition to regular courses, is equipped with various types of courses to cater to the different intellectual level of students. Foundation courses are for those students who are seeking basic abilities of that subject like accounting, economics etc. Enrichment courses are courses for students who want to go beyond the syllabus and in areas of their interest. And Alternative study credit courses are courses for students who want to do independent study of their choice in the field of management through innovative/live projects, online courses like MOOCs etc.

In case of specialisation, students has the option of one major and one minor specialisation from the given list. Also Students who are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship can opt for Start-up: Launching and Sustaining program of AICTE, skipping elective courses.
