About the Programme
The MBA (Two Year Full-Time) Degree programme at JGBS
is designed to prepare business leaders of future. The
industry captains of tomorrow would require
comprehensive understanding of business management
fundamentals and an opportunity to pursue their areas of
specialization. This requires a global management
perspective and learning through peer-interaction.
The pedagogy of the programme curriculum emphasizes
learning through discovery rather than from classroom
instruction, problem-solving instead of rote-learning and
critical thinking as opposed to acquiring knowledge as
information. In other words, the curriculum emphasizes
that students grow and enrich themselves. In this pursuit,
activities like live projects, field assignments and simulation
games form an integral part of the programme. Further,
there is a component of in-depth dissertation exercise that
helps students achieve holistic learning and provides for a
comprehensive understanding of the contemporary
business environment. For complete development extracurricular
activities such as debates, dramas, sports are
equally important. The vibrant campus life provides
students with such options along with access to state of the
art sporting facilities.
