Faculty: The course structure of 1 year (6 terms) is carefully crafted to develop business competencies, effective teamwork and leadership skills.

Class size was kept normal to ensure sufficient attention to each student of the class. All the professors had completed their PhDs, and some of them were even writing research papers till now.
