TSM MBA programme is a two year, full-time, general management programme with possibilities for functional specialisation. The programme consists of 6 trimesters (terms) each of approximately 12 weeks duration.
MBA Programme I Year
The first year consists of a rigorous set of core courses on all major functions such as Marketing, Finance, Operations and Human Resources Management and disciplines such as Economics and Organisational Behaviour. A broad perspective of the industrial environment is presented and a sound foundation is laid for advanced and more specialized learning in the second year. The scheduling of various courses through the 3 trimesters is done balancing academic logic and the learning difficulties from the student perspective. English language communication modules and “soft-skills” development courses are also offered as part of the first year to strengthen the participant's overall profile.
At the end of the first year, students are required to undergo internship of about 8 weeks duration in an organization working on a project relating to any functional area. The objective is to help students gain insights into the actual working of an organization, its structure, systems and processes and apply some of the tools and techniques learned in solving real world problems in an organisational setting.
MBA Programme II Year
TSM endeavours to offer a choice of electives with possibilities for specialisation in Finance, Marketing, Operations and Human Resources Management. The elective courses focus on the applications of tools and techniques in a variety of managerial situations and seek to offer sharper insights and broader perspectives in the areas of specialisation.
