Department of MBA

A dream came true. The Department started dreaming about introduction of MBA course since the Eighth Plan Period. But the efforts of the Department saw the light only at the end of the Tenth Plan Period. That year was, however, significant in the history of Vidyasagar University since that important event of introducing MBA course coincided with the celebration of the Silver Jubilee year of the University.
Globalisation has brought about many changes. Naturally, the field of education has not been left out of its effects. Qualitative changes in the market – transformation from buyers’ market to the sellers’ one – have added many more new dimensions to the ramification of education. Unprecedented changes in the market to be served have increased the demand for management experts manifold. Recent renaissance for industrialization in West Bengal has added fuel to the fire. Having realized the growing need for management experts, Vidyasagar University decided to launch this MBA course for initial nourishment under the able and proven academic and professional leadership of the Department of Commerce with Farm Management and obviously with the assured cooperation from all other allied departments and their faculties. Apart from the in-house faculties in various existing Departments of the University, attempts are made to invite Guest faculties from Management and allied Departments of other reputed Universities and Institutes to provide desired input to the students.
An ultra-modern course curriculum has been designed incorporating mainstream management courses and also including some aspects of rural management. That way it honours the recommendation of the NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) Peer Team on the one hand and on the other pays due regard to the inherent nontraditional character of the University.
An honest attempt on our part is due to establish and maintain adequate linkage with the industry and large business houses in terms of having a blend of academics and professionals in the faculty and also for providing scope to the students to have real life experiences through industry visits and project works. We are ambitious that over time we would be able to make tie-ups with reputed business schools abroad to have international exposure and global marketing of our academic products. Apart from the above plans to provide appropriate dimension measuring width of the course we are also committed to enrich the Management education through quality research.
