Course Curriculum Overview :
I chose this course because it is the flagship couse of welingkar and has the most diversity in the class which enhances the peer to peer learning. The curriculum is inspired from IIM B curriculam. It is through and gives various options as electives. The faculies are from prestigious institutions like IIM A, IIM B, JBIMS, etc and has great corporate experience which helps us in learning real life examples and norms. Although some marketing faculties are not so great, they are just there and needs to be replaced. The faculty student ratio is 1:15. The teaching method is mostly case discussion based (Harvard) and student presentations. The teaching focuses highly on communication skills and problem solving skills. It is a trimester based course and each trimester is of 2 months on an average. Exams are not so difficult to pass, it can be cleared through class leanings and a short revision.
