Student review [#86188] for Business Administration
at M P Birla Institute of Management - MPBIM

Thinking back to my MBA days around 2010, the teaching was a mix of traditional lectures and practical case studies. We definitely had opportunities to interact with profs and learn from real-world examples, though maybe not as slick as things are now.
Case studies were a big part of the learning, making us think critically about business problems. Research projects were also there, involving a lot of time in the library and computer labs. We did get some exposure to the industry through guest lectures, which was always insightful. Technology was mostly about presentations and email back then.
The professors were generally supportive, guiding us through the curriculum. When it came to specializations, I remember wanting to go for Marketing and Operations. However, there weren’t enough students opting for Operations that year, so that stream didn’t take off. We were kinda compelled to choose Information Systems as the second stream along with Marketing. It wasn’t ideal, but we made the best of it. The quality of education was decent, and the professors were always their to assist. There were some avenues to share ideas through student clubs. We also got invites to a few industry events.
Key Takeaway from Back Then:
My MBA around 2010 had a good foundation in case-based learning and industry interaction. The limitation with specialization choices due to student numbers was a bit of a bummer, though. We ended up with Marketing and Information Systems, which still provided a solid base, but it wasn’t our first choice.
Just a note from a 2010 grad: Things have likely changed a lot since then, especially with more specialization options and advancements in teaching methods. Always good to check current program details!
