• Laboratory: - This has a state of the art analytics with the advanced software tools for better learning purposes.
• IT Infrastructure: - Robust IT infrastructure that ensures security and minimum downtime is also enabled with Wi-Fi.
• Meditation Room: - After the lectures or after our exams are over we all of us go to our meditation room to de-stress ourselves with our busy daily routine. I must say I have become calmer and doing meditation helped me a lot. I was earlier someone who used to work with hurry and couldn’t manage my daily tasks. But now I can manage all my targets and tasks properly. This became only possible because I started to mediate and helped myself to work hard and manage things all well.
• Cafeteria: - These is one of the place where we friends can come together and chit chat and discuss upon each other’s experience, solve doubts, eat and have a cup of tea. Cafeteria is very good it has also kept in mind for the menu about the hostel students and hence, we are served healthy food which is tasty and delicious, and many more
Hope so it has helped you to know about the college well. I would truly recommend anyone to join VBS for their further studies. This is not only because of the infrastructure but also for their best pedagogy of the case based experiential learning by my faculties.

The curriculum for PGDM students is industry oriented. I am currently a freshman in the Vivekanand Business School (VBS) PGDM program, personally specializing in banking and finance. I would like to share the entire curriculum I had in the first year of the PGDM program. Before we talk about the syllabus , First, I will explain that the Institute, which provided Foundation course before the 1st trimester that covers the subjects such as Personal Growth Lab, Applied Economics, Basic and Advanced Excel, Management Accounting, Design Thinking, and Basics of Mathematics and Statistics.

  • In Trimester I curriculum subjects included were as follows: Marketing Management, Basics of Financial Management, Business Statistics, Operations Management, Ethical Management & Corporate Governance and Financial Markets & Services.
  • In Trimester II curriculum subjects included were as follows: Corporate Valuation, Selling & Negotiation Skills, People Management, Research Methodology, Securities Market and Cost & Management Accounting.

  • Each Student is provided with 2 months summer internship by the dedicated placement team for getting corporate experience during the 1st year.
    What made the entire curriculum unique compared to other institutions was because of the teaching methods which included live case studies, interactive live sessions, practical knowledge, BASIC Conferences, Finance Conferences, etc. & Additional certificate (in each specialization) issued during the 2-year full-time course. I am very happy to be a part of VBS student. We look forward to next year’s great opportunities and learning experiences.
