Commencement of Classes

The preparatory classes for the program will start from May 01, 2009 at all IBS Campuses. All students are required to attend these classes, which will ensure that they acquire a basic knowledge of many of the courses in the regular program.

Electives

The students can pursue elective courses in Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, Operations and Information Technology & Systems. Each student must choose eight electives. While four of these electives must be from a single stream, the others can be from any stream. To specialize in a particular stream, a student has to pursue at least four electives from that stream. Thus a student can acquire a dual specialization by choosing four electives from one stream and another four from a second stream. The program offers further flexibility in terms of two optional free electives, which are not an essential part of the graduation requirement but can be opted for by interested students.
