Orientation Programme

Our theme for the orientation programme for the new batch every year offers more than just words. The orientation programme is an engaging and learning-oriented expansive program spanning four weeks in June each year. This orientation includes programmes mapped against the SAGE Model (Socialising, Associating, Governing and Experiencing) and K-D-B Framework (Knowing, Doing and Being). Various unique courses are planned for our students, spanning 50 sessions for each student across the orientation programme.

During the orientation programme, our MBA students had an immersive learning experience, getting to know each other through team-building activities, jigsaw puzzles, bridge courses, expert guest sessions, special courses by senior faculty members, article reviews, alumni connect, and a fun-filled, satisfying trip to various places.

The objective is to create a robust orientation program with an engaging curriculum to enable and expose our students to our faculty, campus administration, and bridge courses to brush up on their academics and build other key competencies. Our students get sufficient time to know and interact with people and the campus environment around them before they formally kick-start their BBA curriculum.
