MBA

The recent years have witnessed a wide popularity in Management Education. As a consequence, the number of Institutions coming up in the realm of imparting Management coaching is also on the increase. As an Institute, catering to the Management Development and Training requirements of the Cooperative Sector, we have also taken the initiative to move along with the changing trends and have taken a decision of starting MBA at our Institute. As an outcome of our effort, the first batch of MBA was started in 2004-05 academic year, as a joint venture between ICM and Kannur University.

The salient features of the programme include: It is a 2 year full time programme with 4 semesters. Each semester is of 16 weeks duration. Summer placement project at the end of the second semester for a period of 6-10 weeks. Project work in a live managerial problem involving a field study for duration of about 12 weeks. The course is under dual specialization scheme, whereby a students can opt two specialization areas of their choice.

In total, there are 28 papers, besides they have to undergo a project work and an organization study. Specialization streams are:

• Finance
• Marketing
• Human Resource Management

NB: We have proposed another specialization stream on Cooperative Management to the University. If this is accepted and realized, a bigger employment opportunity will be opened up to MBA holders of Kannur University in the Cooperative Sector. We welcome the student community to be part of our MBA Programme to explore the new vistas of Management Education.
