Earn While You Learn

Updated on: Saturday, February 11, 2012

I-MBA, a two-year industry integrated full-time programme by Bengal Institute of Business Studies (BIBS), comprises both theoretical and practical knowledge. This course starts with a six months classroom training that apprises students about the fundamentals of management. Based on their progress, students will be absorbed in one of the organisations, taking part in this programme, for 15-18 months. A student needs to be a graduate in order to enroll for the course.

While they are training with the companies, the students get to attend classes once a week on Sundays. These classes are meant for project work. Guest lecturers from various companies, who recruit students directly for their own firm, come in from time to time to examine the progress of the students. BIBSs has an illustrious faculty team along with the support of 100 companies from India and abroad as mentors.

The course costs about 3.18 lakh per annum but the students have an enormous opportunity of regaining half or more of their spent amount. During their apprenticeship they have an opportunity of earning between 1.18 to 2 lakh. This makes it easy to pay off the loans that many students take for their studies. This gives all the students an opportunity to be employed after the course is completed and get a clear picture of the professional world outside.

On completion of their course the students get an UGC and AICTE-approved MBA degree that is certified by Punjab Technical University (PTU), which is recognised for the government jobs or higher education in India as well as abroad. The first batch of I-MBA is scheduled to start from July 2012 whereas the enrollment has already started.

Dev Narayan Sarkar, GM-Sales, Pepsico and lecturer at BIBS, says, Students need to come out of their theoretical base and have more of practical orientation. The I-MBA programme is priceless for aspirants as they can put into practice what they are taught in the classroom. This cannot be replicated with any other learning. After they work in organisations for 15 months, companies will naturally want to retain the trained workforce and thus guarantee jobs for the pass outs.
