The Vijay Patil School of Management (VPSM), Navi Mumbai is the latest addition to this illustrious list.  VPSM is the result of dedicated strategic planning & vision to bring transformative education in the field of management as envisaged by Dr Vijay D Patil.

It boasts of a state-of-the-art, centrally air-conditioned and wi-fi enabled campus in Navi Mumbai that features Harvard style classrooms, a learning resource centre, discussion/conference rooms,  faculty offices, with multi cuisine cafeterias. There is a wide selection of recreational facilities on campus where students can practise, play & participate VPSM strongly believes that co-curricular activities like sports, dramatics, music, dance, debates, etc are as essential as the academic activities as they give students an opportunity to  work in a team and develop leadership skills, team-orientation, communication and coordination skills.

The VPSM philosophy is also about creating rounded leaders, visionaries, strategic thinkers, future policy makers, and human beings capable of making substantial contributions to the development of global communities.  VPSM aims to spread impactful education to a broad spectrum of individuals, be they students or working executives.

In the words of the Chancellor Dr Vijay D Patil, VPSM is ‘a step towards encouraging global, evolved learning’. This thought metamorphosed into action with a collaboration with the prestigious Harvard Business School Online Program that gives a unique opportunity to students of VPSM to learn online from the faculty at Harvard. As the Dean of VPSM, Dr Prafulla Agnihotri, Former Professor of IIM Calcutta & Founding Director of IIM Tiruchirappalli, says, “We aim at inculcating the ‘spirit of inquiry, independent thinking, and data-based decision-making.”

This spirit of learning is facilitated by the highly interactive pedagogy and  practical approach to learning adopted by experienced faculty with PhDs from reputed Indian and International Universities and several research papers and publications in renowned journals. Latest pedagogical tools and curriculum, involving case-studies, simulation games, group projects and internships form part of the pedagogy. The key parameter to assess the quality of an academic institution is the number and quality of the full-time faculty members that it has. A quick look at the faculty profiles on their website (www.vpsm.dypatil.edu/all-faculty/) shows the quality of the VPSM faculty.
