This Program provides a general management focus with a global orientation, as well as a unique personalization component that helps tailor the learning process to the professional interests and /or organizational contexts of individual candidates.<br />
<span id="more-448"></span><br />

<p>* Identify business problems and develop optimal solutions using a systematic, analytical approach<br />

<p>The duration of the course is two years and the enrollment is valid for a period of seven years. In other words,candidates can set their own pace and complete the program in a flexible manner.</p>
<p>The Executive MBA program uses a CAT-XL (Concepts,Applications, Trends-Experiential Learning) framework to enhance the learning process. This framework emphasizes experiential learning and involves the application of management strategies and theories to real-world situations.Workshops are therefore an integral part of each phase of the program. The learning inputs for the Program include world-class case studies on a variety of products, markets, and industries; concept notes on specific concepts;classic and contemporary books on management; and management periodicals suchas the Harward Business Review, the Effective Executive, and the Case folio.</p>

<p>Focus on General Management: The program adopts a general management approach to provide an integrated perspective on management. This approach ensures that the candidate will complete the program with a deeper understanding of the practical skills and the knowledge required to become effective manger.</p>

<p>Experiential Learning:The Program moves away from the traditional pedagogical approach to management education in favor of an and ragogical approach.Students learn through participating in discussions, workshops, and case analysis and applying the learning to their work situations. This experiential participatory method of learning, supported with continuous feedback, ensures that the candidates internalize the learning.</p>
<p>Case-driven Learning:This approach ensures that the candidates learn the skills required to manage and lead, in an enjoyable, learner-centered way. A case study narrates an actual or realistic problem and requires participants to analyze the problem and take a decision. It helps participants learn important concepts and facts within the context of historical and contemporary situations and , at the same time, educates them about the application of management theory or real world problems and dilemmas.</p>
<p>Independent Study:</p>
<p>Independent study approach enables candidates to personalize their learning process to address issues relevant to their career aspirations and /or organizational contexts. It involves thorough reading, critical assessment, and evaluation of the applicability of the ideas learned to situations of interest to the candidate.</p>
<p>All candidates who successfully complete the Program will be awarded the MBA degree by the ICFAI University,Tripura.</p>
<p>The Program has 20 courses including five personalized courses in the independent study format and four workshop-based courses. These 20 courses are spread over three phases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has given following guidelines to schools affiliated to it with regard to reduction of school bag loads:</p>
<p>i. Not to over prescribe textbooks for primary classes and to keep the number of textbooks limited so as not to exceed the number prescribed by National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).<br />
<span id="more-271"></span><br />
ii. No school bag for children of Classes I &#038; II and to allow students to leave their school bags in school itself.</p>
<p>iii. No homework to the children of Classes I &#038; II and to evolve a concept of alternative to homework for the students of Classes III to V.</p>
<p>iv. To plan a judicious time table to avoid unnecessary loading of school bags.</p>
<p>The problem of heavy school bag was brought out in the report ‘Learning without Burden’ in 1993. National Curriculum Framework (NCF), 2005 has several recommendations on reduction of physical, psychological and transactional load on school children. Based on NCF, 2005, new syllabi and textbooks have been prepared by NCERT and have been adopted in schools affiliated to CBSE. Several States have also revised their syllabi and textbooks based on NCF, 2005. </p>
