IBA is an institute founded to develop a cadre of world class management professionals. It has been conceived as a centre of excellence and frankly the shortcomings of many existing institutions have helped point us in the right direction. We offer a two year Management education program that is at par with the best and equips one to step confidently into the international management arena.

Our PGPRM program is in line with retail industry requirement. The course, pedagogy & inputs changes as the requirement changes in the Industry. PGPRM program is designed with inputs from academicians and retail experts who are in Retail Industry from past several years. The course has 3 trimesters (common to the normal PG Programme) followed by 6 months industry exposure followed by 2 trimesters of specialization study. Course fee includes your laptop & software costs.

We would say that difference stems from attitude. We recognize that the conventional approach to management education is to churn out managers for whom theory is management. At IBA, we endeavor to develop a thinking individual who has the mental flexibility to adapt concepts to new situations maybe even develop new concepts. While there are other institutions that are beginning to question existing management education patterns instead we have gone ahead and the continuous feedback from Industry strengthens our curriculum that addresses the realities of today's knowledge economy which is quite evident from the performance of IBA Alumni in the Industry.

No. But then we don't stop at attitude alone, we back it up with helping students develop skill sets that equip them with the ability to analyze and devise appropriate solutions. Our educational programs focus on providing as close to a 'live' management environment as possible. While concepts are imbibed through the traditional lecture methods, case studies are utilized to enable students to discover theory in application. Real time projects provide that essential 'hands-on' experience without which education remains in the realm of academia. As a matter of fact we even go to the extent of providing our students with exposure to international management practices through a visit to corporate and institutions abroad.

As an institution that provides a holistic management education it is natural that our approach to evaluation is also holistic. We have avoided the trap of judging by the results of term examinations. Instead we adopt an evaluation process that is on-going throughout the program and Multidimensional. Performance of the student is assessed through case studies, presentations, field visits, book review, research paper, mid term and end term examination. The assessment is designed to enable students to understand their shortcomings so that they may overcome them.
