Hi,
SOIL is a business school that aims to build competent, compassionate and inspiring leaders. Interact with stalwarts from industry and a distinguished faculty, who have taught across the world.
It is different from regular MBA in a few ways-
For a PG programme such as one run by IIM Indore, where the average work experience of students is 1.3 years, a two year course with a 4.5 month internship in the third semester is apt. However in SOIL, where the average work experience of students is 3.2 years it makes sense to reduce the internship to a month of work spanned over 8 months in the form of the Social Innovation Program.
In a 2 year MBA programme, where classes are held 5 days a week from 9 AM to 1 PM supplemented by 2 term breaks of a week each, 1400 hours of classroom interaction is what is achieved. We at SOIL effectively cover 1200 hours in classroom by running lectures from 9 AM to 4:30 PM and thus make up for 40 extra days in a year as compared to our counterparts. Hence, by utilizing our time and resources more wisely, SOIL is able to reduce the length of the program by 7 months.
With change being the only constant, dynamic MBA curriculum are the need of the hour. The curriculum at SOIL is designed with the help of its 32 consortium partners who understand this changing need. Courses like Sustainability & Green Capital, Enabling Values Centered Innovation and Whole System Thinking SOIL ensure that the leaders of tomorrow understand the changing world and hence adapt accordingly.
With organizations requiring its work force to learn faster and apply those learning's in business context, this compact yet enriching fast track experience prepares students to multi task and develop better time management abilities. Students in SOIL gather all-round understanding of business instead of specializing in a core field and hence are more flexible when put on different assignments in the work place. The short tenure of the program helps them get back in the changing business environment.
When the top companies in India are going through a tough time in retaining their talent, SOIL holds a talent pool which believes in values and the importance of sticking to an organization and making a difference. The average maturity level of a SOIL student as compared to one from a 2 year MBA is much more which will help them make a difference in the workplace from day 1.
