Blended learning is a practice where both online and campus-based learning is combined. This type of learning allows students to take 70% of the courses on campus and 30% of the courses online in the form of pre-recorded lectures. It is mandatory to take a course either fully online or on campus, as the lecturers may be different in the delivery format.

You are very flexible in choosing whether to to attend physical, campus based MBA and take a course or go online and complete the same course.

We believe that this combination can be a perfect formula for working professionals in meeting their busy agenda and schedules.
