Mittal, an alumnus of Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, said the new curriculum is structured around four key tenets — values, exposure, experiences and skills as the students will stay in each country for four to five months.
“We have to give a real-world target to our students. If they are able to do that, the motivation comes within. We want to provide first hands-on experience to run business,” Mittal told PTI.
“The students will learn business by building businesses as part of their eight semesters. They will stay in each country for four to five months and use campuses of partnered institutes for business bureau education in these countries,” he added.
