The participants also got a chance to interact with the Director of IIMB, Prof. G. Raghuram. He highlighted how MBA leads to development of precision and clarity in the thought process of students. Prof. Raghuram also emphasised how top IIMs in India use non-traditional ways of teaching through case studies which help the students get a better understanding of the business context. The way in which programs at IIMs are designed, delivered and handled, instills a sense of confidence in the students and they are encouraged to challenge one another, both inside and outside the classroom, Prof. Raghuram said.
