The multidisciplinary curriculum of BITSoM MBA program addresses the needs of an evolving business landscape and offer students an immersive, engaging, and holistic experience. In addition to core courses, all students take a module on ‘Winning at the Workplace’, designed to develop cognitive and behavioral capabilities as well as provide students with global and contextual perspectives with courses such as Ethics in Business, the Origin of Management in India, and Indian Philosophy and Leadership. The curriculum is designed from ground up with inputs from the industry, veterans on BITSoM governing council and academicians. It’s a blend of courses from management, data analytics, emerging technologies, liberal arts and humanities.
The block teaching pedagogy at BITSoM enables focusing on two courses at a time, which helps to internalise learnings. At BITSoM, students get to practice classroom learnings in two corporate and one social LIVE projects. In the second year, students have an option to opt for a two-week immersion at London Business School (LBS). The objective is to experience global perspective on leadership, technology, economics and sustainability.
Right from the inception, BITSoM ensured that its students did not miss the joy of having offline interactions with peers and work on projects in small groups at the hostel facility in Mumbai, while attending faculty sessions online. Many other institutes at that time were conducting online classes.
