First Pan-India Most Graduate programme from SMOT
Aimed at minimising post-placement attrition of management graduates in Corporate India, SMOT, a fast-rising business school, has designed a Pan-India Post Graduate programme in Management.The objective was being addressed by SMOT in variety of ways,each of which handled a distinct reason for attrition, the first being the management graduates proving unequal to the challenges of the job they get, Dr R Narasimhan, Director, SMOT, told reporters here on Friday.To avoid the issue of a 'generalist' MBA trying to tackle the specialist roles industry was currently offering, the school was offering candidates what it calls career domain verticals, he said.SMOT has tied up with Canadian Association of Management Consultants, to get expertise to design, teach and evaluate the management consulting domain track, with the graduates having access to Association's flagship programmes in Canada as well, Narasimhan claimed.
Seventy per cent of management graduates were leaving their job within the first one year. Narasimhan said SMOT wanted to bridge the clear gap between the requirements of the Industry and what has been taught in school of management.the four-semester 16-month programme would start at its Chennai campus from September and would end in January 2009.
