Student Presentations

Every year as a part of our co-curricular activities, business house and sectoral presentations are organised for the MBA students, who are divided into groups, with each group given a task of analyzing / studying various business sectors and making a presentation. This gives an opportunity for the students to study and analyze various strategies adapted by Market Leaders. In addition, this activity also develops the spirit of teamwork and leadership among the students. Based on the presentations made, the panel comprising internal and external faculty analyzes and assesses the performance of the students and gives feedback specifying the strengths and weaknesses of the presentations and thereby providing scope for improvement.

Social Responsibility

Our students show keen interest and involve themselves with loads of commitment in academic, cultural and community development activities. On the occasion of Children’s Day (14 November 2008), the social work committee of the batch served Sidur, an orphanage at Malakpet (Hyderabad). They spent the entire day with the children playing musical chairs, running race and other games. They mobilized Rs.21000 and provided them breakfast, lunch, water tank, bags, sweaters, innerwear, toys, soaps and snacks.

The MBA students are exposed to the practicalities of Business and Management through various co-curricular activities like Industrial Tours, Seminars, etc., as they give the chance to relate theory with practicals. This year the students visited Creamline Dairy Products Limited at Ramanthapur (Hyderabad) and Andhra Pradesh Foods at Nacharam (Hyderabad) on 7 August 2009.

At Creamline Dairy Products they had an opportunity to understand the processing of milk at various stages like homogenization, pasteurization, etc. Mr Sunder (Manager - Safety Systems) explained some strategies to expand the company’s business to new markets and gain customer satisfaction.
