| Exchange Disseminated Time | Usha Martin Education & Solutions Ltd has informed BSE regarding a Press Release dated July 13, 2010 titled "Usha Martin Academy (An Education initiative of Usha Martin Education & Solutions Ltd) provides a highly enriched MBA experience to students".
Press Release :
"India has come a long way in terms of skilled manpower availability. In fact as it stands today it is safe to comment that it is one of the leading providers of skilled manpower worldwide. This is evident in terms of Indians engaged in doing skilled jobs as well the increase in the numbers of foreign industries who are setting up shops in India.
However one of the key areas which we still need to catch and match with the western countries is developing managerial skills. Though there are significantly growing number of B schools coming up in India, most of the candidates passing out, have very poor and limited exposure to corporate world.
On the other hand most of the reputed business schools, abroad, offers MBA programs only to the candidates who have a good of amount job experience. The major objectives is that MBA being a specialized study of business a person with job experience understands and appreciates the classroom sessions much better than a fresher. It's needless to stress the fact that MBA program without adequate job exposure does not do justice either to the candidates or to the industry.
To meet this burgeoning challenge of shortage of managerial skills, Usha Martin Academy launches the POWER MBA program. This program has been designed to counter the limited work exposure that regular MBA students get in most of the institution that offer MBA program. POWER MBA pass outs will be highly useful to the corporate as minimal training will be required to make them productive. At the same time students will find this course very useful as it will enable them to climb the corporate ladder much faster. POWER MBA program therefore adds tremendous advantage to both students and employers.
In the POWER MBA program the students have to undergo a two year rigorous training program in both classrooms as well hands on learning environment. During the tenure of this course, the students attend theoretical classes and will also be engaged in extensive practical training. The perfect combination of theoretical and practical learning gives the students a complete understanding of the discipline unlike other MBA courses which provide a very narrow perspective of the industry through three-month summer internship programs only.
During the entire program tenure the POWER MBA students will be assigned to their respective supervisors and will have clear cut KRA's. They will be provided with real life assignments and are monitored on a daily basis by their respective supervisors. They will have to work under a strict corporate hierarchy and have to follow the corporate culture like any other employee. For example they will have to fill in their time sheets, apply for leave, undergo HR appraisal process etc.
The radically different Power MBA course consists of a composite curriculum drawn from the corporate sector, theoretical training and project work. The course offers multi segmented industry knowledge. The evaluation of the students also takes place on a multi dimensional scale. The emphasis will be more on practical management quotient (MQ) rather than on academic excellence alone.
"Our POWER MBA students get best of corporate and academic world. In the corporate they will be under highly experienced global professionals and in the academic world they will have the access to some of the eminent management gurus from Harvard, INSEAD, Tulane etc. This will empower our students to add significant value to the corporate they join and also enrich their professional careers as they climb up the ladder" comments Dr. Saugata Banerjee, Director of Usha Martin Education & Solutions and visionary of the POWER MBA program.
The selection process of the students wilt be through aptitude test, and their graduation scores. We are launching this program in our Kolkata campus with limited seat of 30 s. students and at an introductory price of Rs 4Lakhs. Eventually we may plan to roll out this program in our other facilities." |
