Pedagogy
Academic Orientation
 Managerial success requires knowledge, skills and the right perspective. It requires knowledge to
know what to do, skill to make it happen, and the right perspective to apply efforts. The curriculum
imparts these through a combination of course modules. The programme takes full of advantage of
the diverse educational background and knowledge of the students. The curriculum, faculty and
state-of-the-art facilities are all directed towards a common goal of providing the students with
incisive business acumen.
The Learning Process
Lectures, case studies, individual and group exercise are used in varying proportions depending on
the subject matter. Besides the traditional faculty student interaction, the program encourages the
participation of experts from the industry, academia and business. Field projects, in particular,
provide an opportunity to have hands on learning experience to the students where the theoretical
concepts can be applied to the real time problems. The result is a dynamic and productive
classroom experience that engages the students in a „proactive‟ learning process.
PortVisit and IndustrialVisits:
Logistics and EXIM procedures and documentation being an integral part of the MIB curriculum, the port visit is a
special event for the students of MIB. Students gain a practical insight into the areas of warehousing,
packaging, etc., and are able understand the operational aspects of sea ports, dry ports, free trade zones, etc.
through a hands on experience. Besides port visit, regular Industrial visits are also organized by the college.
Summer Internship
At the end of the second semester, all MIB students are required to undergo an 8 to 10 week internship in a business organization. The students undertake an in-depth study project assigned by the company. Often, these projects bring up viable and innovative suggestions for improvement in the areas of organizational development and growth. This has resulted in stronger linkages with the industry and with business entities. Apart from this several live projects and winter internship offers have also been made to our students.
Project Work
All students are required to take up a research study during the fourth semester and submit a report on it. This is to help the students sharpen their conceptual and analytical skills and develop methodological rigor in dealing with practical issues. The submission of the project report is an essential requirement for the award of the degree.
