Student's Views

'I found the program unique in both design and delivery. The programme is application oriented. Courses are delivered in workshop format wherein issues brought by the participants take the central point of discussion. Small size of the class and heterogeneous background of the students help in bringing multiple diverse perspectives to the class. Faculty members have rich, global experience in their respective fields. They bring in first hand experiences of their work and make the subject more relevant and interesting. DBA has multi-disciplinary approach to management research which is more relevant in today's biz context'
