SK Birla group to establish a top-notch B-School in Kolkata
April 24th, 2008
Following is an excerpt from a report in Telegraph on this.
Calcutta Business School, started by the MBV Society, is located on a 16-acre plot in Bishnupur, 7 km south of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM). It will be operational from July this year.
“We run schools and colleges but running a management school is going to be a different ball game. But we are sure we will do a good job,” said S.K. Birla, the chairman of the board of governors of the management school.
The B-school will have “state-of-the-art” infrastructure, including a “green building”, air conditioning and wireless Internet connectivity round the clock.
It will offer a two-year, fully residential, postgraduate diploma in management. The first batch will have 60 students. There are plans to increase student intake to 500 over the next five years.
Admission will be based on the Common Admission Test (CAT) and the General Management Aptitude Test (GMAT). The fee for the entire course will be Rs 7.5 lakh.
