Hi....
Here's a clear overview of what library, labs, and study areas are generally like in a new or modern campus for PGDM, MBA, and BBA students — based on how top business schools design their academic spaces:
1. Library Facilities
Modern campuses focus on knowledge, research, and comfortable study spaces:
What you typically get
Large collections of books, textbooks, reference books, journals, magazines, and e-resources/e-journals (online) for management, business, economics, strategy, etc.
Digital access for e-books, research databases, and online journals — so you can study on campus or remotely.
Reading areas & quiet zones designed for individual study and separate group discussion rooms for teamwork.
Computers & internet access inside the library, helping you to research and write assignments efficiently.
Libraries are often air-conditioned, well-lit, and designed for long reading hours with ergonomic seating.
2. Labs & Technology Support
Computer Labs
Even in PGDM/MBA/BBA programs, technology labs are crucial:
Computer labs with internet connectivity and modern hardware/software for data analysis, simulations, business research, spreadsheets, etc.
These labs support academic learning, project work, presentations, and software tools used in management studies.
Some campuses also include specialized labs or centres (e.g., business analytics labs, trading labs, finance simulation labs) in more advanced programs — similar to how IIM Calcutta has a Financial Research and Trading Lab for hands-on exposure to real markets.
3. Study Areas & Other Learning Spaces
Modern campuses aren't just about classrooms — they include:
Dedicated Study Spaces
Quiet study zones both inside and outside the library
Group discussion rooms equipped with whiteboards and AV tools
Common study lounges to work in a relaxed but academic environment
Interactive Learning Areas
Seminar halls and case discussion rooms with AV systems
Group project spaces for teamwork
Coworking style areas where students can collaborate
General Atmosphere You Can Expect
Clean, modern infrastructure, often air-conditioned
Wi-Fi across campus for students to access resources from anywhere
Comfortable reading desks and seating arrangements
Support staff or librarians to assist with research and finding materials
