Student Activities

Like the business environment itself, the Department is perpetually on the move. We believe that the pursuit of excellence should not be independent of an overall personality development. A typical day at MBE is a reflective of this belief- Apart from the lectures, students are always managing their time between corporate seminars, knowledge intensive discussions, industry projects, sports, club activities, B-schools’ event participation or managing one of the many annual events of the Department.

At MBE, we take pride in organizing various events round the year, which help strengthen the Department's ties with the corporate world as well as foster organizing skills and professionalism among students.
