New Delhi: Prof. Kuriakose Mamkoottam, New Dean - Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), is likely to bring some changes in the syllabus of all MBA programmes that the institute offers. According to the Dean, it has become essential to modify the existing syllabus, in order to cope up with the challenging requirements of the corporate world.
Prof. Kuriakose said that it would take one year for the course to be revised, after which it will be approved by the Academic and Executive Council. New faculty members would be drawn from different areas to work upon a new structure. The academic year would be distributed after looking at the number of elective subjects and updating the readings. FMS is changing its syllabus by focusing on key areas like commercial social responsibility and commercial governance.
As per sources, 31 new companies, including top international investment banking firms and business houses, visited the campus and offered roles across diversified sectors, such as investment banking, private equity, pharmaceutical, media and advertising. FMS students will undertake a training process with these companies, during April - June next year and will earn stipends up to Rs 30000, on an average. The highest domestic stipend that will be offered to a student is Rs 1 lakh, while the maximum international stipend is 2,400 dollars.
