All the courses in the first year are core courses and compulsory.
In the summer of the first year, students are required to spend ten to twelve weeks in an organisation working on a project on a significant aspect or problem relating to any functional area. The aim of the summer project is to provide students with the opportunity to closely observe an organisation in operation and relate what they have learnt in the classroom to actual practice. This also facilitates the selection of electives in the second year.
The Second Year
The second year of the course takes into account the need for bringing into the classroom the state of the art new techniques and innovation in various fields and in helping students apply theoretical inputs to practice. Besides the four compulsory courses, students have to choose 16 electives from a wide array of elective courses, out of which at least 5 electives have to be in an area of specialisation, viz.
