PREFACE
The MBA programme is well structured and integrated course of business studies. The main
objective of practical training at MBA level is to develop skill in student by supplement to the
theoretical study of business management in general. Industrial training helps to gain real life
knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices. The MBA programme provides
student with a fundamental knowledge of business and organizational functions and activities as well
as an exposure to strategic thinking of management.
In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give us theoretical
knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed of such subjects when we
get the training in the organization. It is only the training through which I come to know that what an
industry is and how it works. I can learn about various departmental operations being performed in
the industry, which would, in return, help me in the future when I will enter the practical field.
Training is an integral part of MBA and each and every student has to undergo the training for
2 months in a company and then prepare a project report on the same after the completion of training.
During this whole training I got lot of experience and came to know about the management
practices in real that how it differs from those of theoretical knowledge and the practically in the real
life.
In todays globalize world, where cutthroat competition is prevailing in the market, theoretical
knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have practical knowledge, which would help an
individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true that “Experience is the best teacher”.
