It also emphasizes on individual development, creativity and entrepreneurial leadership capacity. The curriculum includes personalized strength assessments and coaching as well as the flexibility to develop deep specializations and career tracks in multiple high demand areas. This two-year program is specifically designed to create global leaders who are critical thinkers and are able to work both independently and collaboratively. We envision that each of our students will develop a worldview and most importantly, have the right attitude, knowledge and skills to succeed in demanding 21st-century careers.”

Dr. Sen further added that, “The USP of our iGlobal program is its multidisciplinary foundation.Our MBA program offers the candidates a very rich suite of electives. As such, people can acquire further depth in hot technology areas like big data and predictive analytics in our Schools of engineering and Natural Sciences or take social science electives directly with scholars in our School of Humanities and the Social Sciences.”
