SNU launches MBA programme

Admissions to begin on April 15, first batch to commence in July

Shiv Nadar University has launched its iGlobal MBA Programme. The two-year programme will be offered by the university’s School of Management and Entrepreneurship (SME).

The programme’s curriculum is designed by faculty from SNU, Harvard Business School, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley and Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. The programme is designed to offer global exposure to the students through its semesters abroad at partner universities, overseas internships and projects.

“The iGlobal MBA programme is centered on success in a technology disrupted, rapidly changing global business environment and the many exciting placement options available to those with the requisite training. ‘I’ is being used as a prefix to emphasize a focus on technology preparedness, analytics and digital literacy,” said Shubhro Sen, Director of the SME.

“The programme offers the candidates a very rich suite of electives. As such, people can acquire further depth in hot technology areas like big data and predictive analytics in our Schools of engineering and Natural Sciences or take social science electives directly with scholars in our School of Humanities and the Social Sciences,” he added.

The admissions for the programme will begin on April 15 and the first batch will commence in July.

The candidate must hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, with at least 50 per cent marks to be eligible for the programme. Admissions to the programme will be based on past academic performance and achievements, relevant work experience, written and verbal communication skills, and the score in SNU’s Management Admission Test (SMAT).

Applicants will be required to appear for the Business Aptitude Test (BAT), as well as a personal interview. The scores of CAT/GMAT/XAT/NMAT will also be considered.
