DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
T he MBA program at IIT Kanpur was initiated with the guiding principle that a sound technical expertise coupled
with right management acumen, is the key to survival in a contemporary, competitive environment. In fact, the
program is a testimony to one of the key strengths of IIT Kanpur, which is its articulate understanding of the
existing and future needs of the corporate world. This inherent dynamism is expressed through path-breaking
innovations in both its programs and its research to keep abreast with the latest.
Globally accepted as a vibrant seat of academic and professional excellence, IIT Kanpur is known for its innovative
approach, participative culture and academic rigor. Today, over eighteen thousand engineers, technologists,
scientists, managers and entrepreneurs from IIT Kanpur are active across the globe. Though the MBA program offered
by the IME department is only seven years old, it retains a strong interaction with the industry on account of its courses
in Industrial Management. The strong industry linkages ultimately go a long way in providing a holistic approach to
research and education.
The special efforts to recruit talented faculty on a global basis and stringent admission procedures to select brilliant
students across the country, ensure a pool of formidable intellectual capital at any given time in the campus. This helps
in a healthy and dynamic exchange of ideas which incubates leaders for the corporate world. No wonder that IIT is
perhaps India's most recognized brand the world over.
Needless to say that the MBA students of IIT Kanpur have been exhibiting leadership qualities and passion to serve the
society as responsible managers of the corporate world, true to the IIT tradition. Students of the earlier batches have
carved out a niche for themselves as assets to the organizations. This fact is reinforced by enthusiastic response from
the corporate world in the form of placements. I feel confident that this pool of professionals will be another feather in
the illustrious crown of IIT Kanpur. I wish them all the very best in their entire future endeavour.

MESSAGE
Prof N K Sharma
Head, IME Department
IIT Kanpur
I t is indeed a great pleasure for me to introduce the seventh batch of students of the IITK MBA programme to the world
of business and management. A broad view of the competencies of this batch of students is set out below.
The modern business world is dynamic, nonlinear, and complex. Only professionals with the passion for facing challenges,
courage for embracing novelty and competence to be creative can really excel in such a scenario. This requires that one
thinks in a holistic manner, performs to be effective, and delivers to the delight of the multiple stakeholders. How does the
MBA programme at IIT Kanpur prepare its students to be the professional the present day business world need to have?
There are two levels at which one can address this question.
At the first level the design of the IITK MBA programme includes course structure, pedagogy, and flow that allows students
to create learning spaces for themselves: Conventional courses provide the essential background material and direction
for learning; Analysis and discussion of cases offers an opportunity to be as close to real life as possible, and appreciate the
nonlinearities of the real world; Special study courses challenge the students to appreciate, comprehend and critically
evaluate new areas of learning and probe deeper; Class projects create the environment for creating and making sense of
knowledge, working through teams, and communicating effectively.
The second level is the ambience of IIT Kanpur in which the MBA programme is nested. Traditionally, IIT Kanpur imparts a
culture of being on the frontiers of knowledge, offers an environment to develop an integrated personality, and provides
an opportunity to develop highly professional skills.
Students joining the IITK MBA programme have an engineering background and go through the rigorous process of value
addition. Here are the managers with an engineering background, professionally trained to be complete managers,
sensitized to value humanity, and developed to deliver.
The MBA programme and IITK mission gel well with the demands of the business world. The enthusiastic and encouraging
response from the industry in the past is a testimony to this. I am sure this partnership between the industry and IITK MBA
will be further strengthened with the fresh batch of our graduates.
