Hello Nishar Ahmed, the answer to this question could vary as per the perception of any person who is writing about this. However I will make an honest attempt to point out how this institution is unique from any other normal business School. The first unique thing that strikes about this institution is the exorbitant fees that they are charging including very stiff registration charges. Rupees 70000 is quite high when compared with registration fees of any other standard business school or for that matter any other educational Institute. Another unique thing is the restriction in intake of the students for class. They have restricted it to only 60. This is ostensibly for the reason that only because of the small number of the students admitted, they are able to give attention personally to each and every student in his /her pursuit of excellence in business administration. Maybe to keep themselves unique or to maintain their niche in the world of business schools getting established at every look and corner of the country they have kept their tuition fees at a very high level of about rupees 35 lakhs. They have a tie up with plethora of industries in India and abroad where their students undergo 3 months of internship to hone their skills. Another unique and fascinating thing is the median salary which the students have obtained at about rupees 38 Lacs which is very high considering the Indian atmosphere for placements. 

Best wishes to you.
