DISCUSSION
Archisha Garg  - Student, BBM, Dayalbagh Educational Institute
Do you think today management college/university provides
for an overall development of students so as meet the
corporate demands?
What do you think can be done to improvise the curriculum
so that we can fill in the gap between corporate requirements
and institution supply?

 Like any education, the institution provides the "seeds";
however the student must make those seeds grow by driving
the outcomes. If your school does not offer an area start your
own initiative....YOU become the subject matter expert. -
J. Shawn Young - President, Owner; Young Electric Service,
Inc.
 Textbooks only provide you general knowledge. Every
corporation has different demands that would not be able to
cover in MBA courses. It is up to individual to use the
knowledge and take it to next level - Hitesh Patel, MBA -
General Manager at Marshalls
 The MBA provides a training that helps an individual transfer the
concepts to their profession. It teaches that research is necessary
for every subject and the individual must think outside the
conventional methods. - Robert Cruz, MBA - Litigation Support
Specialist at Harris Beach PLLC
 In my view I would like to say that in today’s era most of the
business school is not providing a good education system to the
students which is much needed for the students corporate career.
They are not providing any kind of activity as well as knowledge of
corporate life or culture. Because of this students are lacking in
somewhere and they have to face many problems when they are
actually enters into the corporate. - Saroj Solanki - Student at ISBR
 The Curriculum designed by the universities acts as a
guideline and I feel its appropriately designed by the panel of
educationalists to meet the industry demands of future, For
example: - Text & Reference books talks about Experimented
Principles which students needs to implement in their day to
day work life - Abhijit Kulkarni - Project Manager at BNP
Paribas
RECOMMENDATIONS
 Holistic approach
 The Curriculum have to be such as to incorporate analytical
skills along with appropriate exposure
 Encourage students to learn the basics
 Too many companies are getting away from quality
 Come up with contemporary business courses
