Ravenshaw will offer MBA; XIMB will help
Following is an excerpt from a news report in New Indian Express.
The course would be offered with the active collaboration of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar (XIMB), said registrar Satyakam Mishra.
The premier B-school, apart from providing faculty, will also train teachers of the varsity. It will design the course content and provide consultancy on several aspects including admission and placement. Besides, students can also make use of XIMB’s library facilities, he said.
… Once introduced, human resource personnel felt Ravenshaw’s MBA course will trigger an unprecedented demand among management aspirants, given the brand name both carry.
The programme will undoubtedly set a bench mark for itself in the State. Mishra said the master’s degree programme will comprise 60 seats to begin with. The selection procedure is being worked out. Scores of XIMB conducted test and CAT may be taken into consideration.
However, the understanding with XIMB will be for two years. If the course proves successful, it will be extended, he noted.
The varsity has already initiated steps to set up the department and renovate an existing hostel for the MBA students.
