In order to meet the challenging requirements of the corporate world, the professor feels that revising and updating the syllabus is the most important step to lubricate the present system of imparting the education.
"Hopefully, it will take one year for the course to be revised after which, it will be approved by the Academic and Executive Council. New faculty members will be drawn from different areas to work upon a new structure. We will distribute the academic year after looking at the number of elective subjects and updating the readings," said the Dean.
FMS is changing its syllabus by focusing on key areas like corporate social responsibility and corporate governance.
"We will in incorporate the changes keeping in view the academic and the corporate world. We want to be the leaders and set the trail for others to follow. We definitely would inculcate in our students the practical application of the academic knowledge they absorb here," briefed Dr. Mamkoottam.
He also overviewed the summer placement report of the first year students of 2009-11 MBA batch, which went up to 100%.
A generous number of students were absorbed despite an increase in the batch size this year. FMS placed all 142 MBA students and 63 MBA- Management of Services students.
The icing on the cake was 31 new companies, including top international investment banking firms and business houses, which visited the campus and offered roles across diversified sectors such as investment banking, private equity, pharmaceutical, media and advertising.
Students will undergo a training process during April-June next year with these companies and will earn stipends up to Rs.30,000 on an average. The highest domestic stipend that will be given to a student is Rs.1 lakh while the maximum international stipend is 2,400 dollars.
