ACADEMIC SYSTEM
Program Design:
The program consists
of four Terms spread over a total
duration of about one academic year
(two Terms of core papers and two Terms
of electives with dual specialisation).
Each Term ordinarily consists of seventy
days of classroom sessions. The choices
of electives have to be indicated at the
time of admission itself. One needs
to choose one set of electives for Term
III as well as for Term IV (for Term III
one has to choose either Accounting
& Finance or Marketing as the area of
specialisation, and for Term IV one has
to choose either OM&DS or OB&HR as
area of specialisation.)
The program includes 47 credits of
core (compulsory) courses of 1.5 ,2 or
3 credits each, and 36 elective courses
of 1.5 ,2 or 3 credits (where 1 credit is
equivalent to 10 contact hours) each.
The entire program includes 83 credits
(830 contact hours). The core courses
are offered during the first two terms &
one core course of 2 credits is offered at
the end of 4th Term. The elective courses
are offered in the third and fourth terms.
Each functional area offers a rich variety
of elective courses every academic year.
The set of electives get updated through
regular revision of the curriculum taking
into account recent developments in
specific functional areas.
The faculty members’ primary role
in the program is to facilitate and
guide the students to develop a clear
understanding of the theories and
practices of management and to help
acquire skills and expertise necessary
for a successful career in the corporate
sector. The pedagogy varies from course
to course depending upon the content
of the course, the objectives of the
course and the pedagogical style of
the instructor. Apart from the regular
classroom lecture sessions the teaching
methodologies include case studies,
group discussions, simulation games,
role-playing, and laboratory exercises.
Evaluation
components
include
assignments (individual and group),
term projects, quizzes, mid-term and
end term tests. The term projects are
generally focused on the respective
organizations of the participants and
enable them to appreciate the real-life
significance of the concepts covered in
the classrooms.
Degree:
The Xavier University will award
theExecutiveMBAdegree toparticipants
who successfully complete course work
equivalent to 83 credits, and fulfil the
academic requirements as listed in
the Manual of Policies. The degree is
awarded at the Annual Convocation,
which is usually held during last week of
March or first week of April, every year.
This program provides an excellent opportunity for professionals, with the potential
to assume senior management responsibilities, to pursue a Postgraduate Program in
Management, without interrupting the current professional career.
