NEW DELHI: The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), the business school of the University of Delhi, has merged its two year full-time MBA in Management of Services (MBA-MS) with its flagship MBA (full-time) programme, it said on Tuesday. This will be applicable from the current academic year.
The two programmes have been merged into one programme MBA (FT) with effect from 2011 admissions. FMS, which was the first business school in India which started offering Full Time MBA programme, started the MBA-MS course from academic year 2004-2005, in an attempt to create Excellence Leaders in the fast growing services sector.
First of its kind, MBA-MS, a regular full-time MBA programme geared towards fulfilling the needs of creating business leaders, was introduced five years back. In the initial years, the aim of the MBA (MS) was to attract a range of institutions looking for future leaders in the service sector.
FMSSuch an action has been followed by the management because the institute faced some problems on the placement front as corporates had their reservations in terms of recruiting students from this new course, said Kuriakose Mamkoottam, Dean, Faculty of Management Studies.
He also added that running two courses resulted into multiplication of work including duplication of Administration, recruitment, faculty, placements as well as examinations. Moreover, the recruiting firms were not familiar with the salient features of the curriculum.
Furthermore, Mr Mamkoottam mentioned that, “Also it wanted to ensure that the popularity of our flagship course did not hamper the students of the MBA-MS course. We have observed that the profile of the students applying for both the courses is much the same but most companies preferred students from the full time course. So, the MBA-MS has been merged with our flagship MBA programme in the interest of students.”
