We don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. That’s why, as a postgraduate student at S P Jain, you will be engaged and motivated using a wide variety of teaching tools like simulations, online lessons, decision-making laboratories, global immersion exercises, guest lectures, industry sessions, research projects, student boardrooms and interactive discussions.
A vibrant new feature of the postgraduate curriculum is the introduction of a Blended Model of Learning. Conventional MBA programs are made of a combination of knowledge-centric courses and their application in the real world. S P Jain’s recently revamped postgraduate curriculum, on the other hand, uses advanced online tools (like webinars, multimedia lessons, problem solving sessions) to deliver foundational and knowledge-based courses to students. It is believed that the discipline of online learning enhances LEARNING AGILITY (the ability to self-learn) and BETTER RETENTION OF BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS since students learn at a pace that suits them.
On campus, the focus is on more advanced application-based topics that teach students to:
-
Ask the right questions to frame issues
-
Use the right tools to analyse data
-
Synthesise information to create value
-
Innovate using Design Thinking
-
Use digital technology to develop high quality solutions; and
-
Add value to future employers
To fulfil the requirements of the Global MBA program, you must complete 44 credits.

In the initial term of the program, students build on their experience and gain a solid foundation in business through core courses in general topics of management like Economics, Finance, Statistics and Marketing. These courses are common and are required for all students, irrespective of their areas of specialisation.
Industry experts believe that management takes place on two levels: cross-functional and vertical, and we reflect this by offering students a range of specialisations that equip them with the knowledge and specific tools that their future careers will demand.
The following specialisations will be offered to students in the Intake of May 2017:
-
Contemporary Marketing Management
-
Information Technology Management
-
Global Finance
-
Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management
- Consulting Management
Employers in virtually every field seek two key skills in their employees: leadership and communication. SP Jain's strong focus in these areas gives its students an edge in the workforce. The P2E program emphasises all aspects of leadership including personality development and decision-making. Not only are graduates well prepared to maintain strong leadership roles within their companies, but also to make a strong impact on their communities.
Besides leadership skills, in the P2E program, students learn:
-
Effective business writing including how to analyse situations to determine the most appropriate method of communication, tone, and level of formality.
-
Oral communication including interviews, presentations, spontaneous conversations, persuasive/dissuasive arguments, group discussions, and e-communication.
-
Increased fluency in English to better perform in a global, English-speaking business environment.
-
Communication management including theory, conflict resolution, and crisis communication.
-
Research and citation skills for better, results-oriented reporting.
-
Understanding the job interview process from both sides of the desk. Knowledge of how interviews are conducted will not only help executives with their own recruiting, but also the interviewees to prepare correctly for and overcome nervousness in interviews.
We take great pride in ensuring that each student gets a good job at the end of their GMBA program and is well placed for a successful career. And our Corporate Readiness Program, or CRP, will prepare you in a comprehensive way. Our work with students as part of the CRP involves pairing them with their individual career objectives, work experience, educational background and more importantly, positioning them for the next level in their careers. CRP also covers students' professional presentation, the finer points of their voice and body language, their profile and how they present and execute a job interview.To enable this, we put students through a minimum of 4 rounds of mock interviews.
To enable this, we put students through a minimum of four rounds of mock interviews. Our international faculty, alumni and industry partners organise these interviews (some of which are video recorded for detailed evaluation). If students are found to be unprepared, further intensive training is organised for them.
The Industry Interface Projects contextualise learning by taking students from theory to practice. Students first gain knowledge, functional understanding and exposure to the industry environment. Later they integrate and apply the knowledge as they grapple with a problem facing a real company.
The idea is to minimise reliance on internet research and to maximise primary research and tacit knowledge and application. This fosters a natural progression from a structured decision-making (required at the operational levels) to commanding unstructured situations (required of senior management).
The Industry Interface Projects consist of the Applied Research Project and the Action Learning Project or Entrepreneurship Project.
