Established with a vision to bring about innovation in higher education and learning in emerging areas of the knowledge society, the University of the Future, NIIT University (NU) , offers next-gen management programmes to promote the employability of its graduates and enable them to prosper in today’s dynamic world of work that requires advanced skillsets. Students with managerial and leadership goals can opt for NU’s 4-year integrated MBA (iMBA) or 3-year Bachelors in Business Administration (BBA) programme soon after school.
4-year integrated MBA (iMBA) is an innovative programme that offers comprehensive
management education combined with in-depth specialisation in specific domains–Marketing & Marketing Analytics; Entrepreneurship; Finance, Banking & FinTech; Business Analytics; Communication & Media Studies and Digital & Social Media Marketing. Instead of spending three years in college and then pursuing a regular MBA program, iMBA gives students the opportunity to focus on various aspects of management soon after school, thus saving a year. It also provides the foundational grounding offered during bachelor-level studies. The industry-linked curriculum and the 6-month immersive industry practice that students undergo help them smoothly transition to the world of work.
NU’s specialised 3-year BBA programmeequips students with a thorough understanding of
business and management practices at the local, national and international levels.The
programme focuses on specialised areas in Finance, Entrepreneurship, Analytics and Digital
Marketing. The thrust is on ‘hands-on’ approach to ensure employability after graduation.
The students would find huge opportunities in the rapidly growing Global Capability Centers
(GCC) in India. One year industry practice has been incorporated in the 3-year BBA
programme making it truly unique.
Prof. Rajesh Khanna, President, NIIT University said “NU’s management programmes
have been designed to help students gain a greater exposure to the industry and the real world of work. Through several internships and projects our students earn experience that
make them desirable candidates for top industry roles. To ensure that the programmesare
up to date, the curriculum is reviewed at least once every year based on feedback from the
industry, recruiting companies and our understanding of the changing job roles.”
NU’s iMBA emphasises on equipping students with skills that are in demand. Students are
trained to stand out in leadership and managerial roles by providing them with in-depth knowledge in different domains. The skills and exposure they receive during the course
prepare them for various leadership and managerial roles later in life. Students are also
given opportunities to attend conferences, seminars, and workshops, where they are exposed to professionals from across the industry. Since the integrated program is for 4
years, students get enough time to build significant connections and understand the latest
trends in the industry.
Conceptualized as an institution of excellence, NU provides exceptional education based on
the Four Core Principles that make learning Industry-linked, Technology-based, Research-driven and Seamless. NU is well poised to meet the emerging needs of the knowledge economy through its focus on building strong industry linkages and a research-oriented
