Updated on: Tuesday, December 29, 2009

Kolkata: Canada’s Schulich School of Business, global business school, in association with the S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research has planned to launch the Schulich MBA in India on January 4 next year.

The Schulich MBA in India would be the first MBA programme by an international business school from outside India to be delivered in the country. The new MBA programme has been established through a unique twinning arrangement between the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto, Canada and the S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research (SPJIMR) in Mumbai.

The programme has received government approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the national regulatory body governing school accreditation and the delivery of degree programmes in India.

Students enrolling for the programme will complete the first year of the MBA programme at SPJIMR in Mumbai and will then complete the second year of the programme at the Schulich School of Business, Toronto. Schulich faculty will deliver the majority of the courses in Year 1 and their teaching will be complemented by resident faculty from SPJIMR, who will work together in implementing the curriculum. Schulich faculty will deliver all courses in Toronto in Year 2.

“Our goal is to establish the Schulich MBA in India as one of the country’s leading and most sought-after MBA programmes,” said Dr. Dezsö J. Horváth, Dean, Schulich School of Business.
Dr. Shrikant, Dean, S.P. Jain Institute of Management & Research, said, “We are happy to collaborate with the Schulich School of Business and share our unique experience in character building and learner centric pedagogic innovations."

“We will be training global managers for the global business environment so they can take their management skills to any country in the world,” said Dr. Ashwin Joshi, executive director of the Schulich MBA in India.

The Schulich School of Business will hold a special inauguration event on January 4, 2010 to announce the launch of the Schulich MBA in India at Taj Lands End in Mumbai.
