India is poised at an exciting phase. Technology has advanced, businesses are

expanding rapidly and more and more MNCs are setting up base in India. This has

led to an explosion of employment opportunities in a variety of fields.

A promising future beckonsIndia’s job market is all set to double in the next 5 years. Opportunities for business

school graduates are booming, as companies feel business school students bring

more value to the workplace with their all-round capabilities. Sectors like IT,

Manufacturing, Banking & Financial Services, Media & Entertainment, Retail,

Biotechnology and Healthcare are witnessing unprecedented growth, creating

excellent job prospects for competent individuals.

Yet, many students are losing out in the job raceCorporate India is facing an acute shortage of skilled workforce. Only a small

percentage of college graduates have the skills that companies are looking for.

Present day corporate world demands innovative thinkers with good multitasking,

leadership and communication skills. However, many colleges focus only on

academic aspects and leave out all-round development.

• Focus only on textbook learning and grades

• Lack of industry exposure for students

• No focus on developing independent thinking

• No importance attached to students’ personality development

• No career guidance & counselling to help students prepare for future

opportunities

A research based pedagogy

teaching, self study, case studies and

industry visits, students get a real-time

perception of the industry.

At ROOTS, rigorous self study is

mandatory. Students are encouraged

to spend time in the library and refer

various books and journals, and

conduct research on any particular

topic of their interest, within the

curriculum.

Classroom Learning

Interactive group discussions, debates

and quizzes are part of the classroom

learning process at ROOTS. Students

learn to shed their inhibitions and

share their perspectives openly.

Case Study Approach

At ROOTS, case studies are an

important part of the curriculum. With

the case study approach we place an

emphasis on a student’s analytical

thinking and encourage him/her to

apply the principles learnt in the

classroom to real life problems.

Page 11: Roots prospectus reference

Advantages of the case-study

approach

Guest Lectures

Chain, and other fields are invited

regularly to deliver lectures to

students, thereby connecting

classroom learning with practical

aspects.

Projects and Assignments

Students are required to research on

topics of their interest and

specialization, and present projects

and reports to the faculty on a regular

basis. This hones their researching

skills, improves their ability to draw

inferences and conclusions, and

structures their thinking.

International Study Tours &

Exchange Programs

In order to understand global best

practices in business, students are

offered an international exchange

program. Selected students will be

sent to a foreign university for one

semester where they can gain from a

culturally and academically enriching

experience.

interesting and thought provoking.

They stimulate my thinking and

help me apply whatever textbook

knowledge I have gained,

to real-time problems.”

Anirudh, 2nd year, BBA

enjoyable learning experience. I learnt

about the functioning of different

companies in South East Asia,

lot of fun during the whole trip.”

Kushal Daga, 2nd year BBA

Presentations

Concept presentations are a regular

and mandatory part of the curriculum.

presentations on chosen topics, as a

part of the course. This helps them to

express their views in front of an

audience, which in turn leads to

enhanced confidence and

professionalism.

within the walls of a classroom.

Industry visits and internships help

students gain crucial knowledge

about industry trends.

internships for a considerable

From the Chairman’s desk

The world is shrinking to evolve into a global village. New age borderless workspaces demand multi-faceted professionals who can function efficiently under change.

At ROOTS, we inculcate in students the right attitude, and train them to become ambitious, dynamic thought leaders who will take on the challenges of the modern world. Leaders who are filled with a burning spirit to exemplify excellence in life.

With well-designed courses offering international certifications, we strive to set global standards in management education. Emphasis is laid on developing overall personality through a balanced mix of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Student counselors guide students in gaining a clear understanding of their career goals and what it takes to achieve them.

Through our innovative program structure and the dedicated efforts of our highly experienced faculty members, I am happy to note that our measures have yielded excellent results, with our students getting successfully placed in reputed Indian and multinational companies.

I welcome students to join this vibrant community of thinkers and realize their aspirations with us.

infrastructure. When I found ROOTS, I looked no further. The balanced curriculum, focus on all-round personality development and reputed faculty

have really impressed me. I know she is in safe hands.”
