MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
    Amrut Mody School of Management

    In a VUCA world made ever so dynamic with rapid technological advances, the young
    graduates who come into the employment world have a challenge to be industry ready
    and employment ready.

    At Ahmedabad University, we have adopted experiential pedagogies such as
    project-based learning, ENABLE, and we place special emphasis on interdisciplinarity in our
    programmes, to provide education that equips students to think deeply and creatively
    across multiple domains to handle the complex challenges of our societies. We encourage
    discovery of new ideas, and are of the belief that good theory results in good practice.

    The Amrut Mody School of Management offers management programmes for
    undergraduate, graduate, doctoral students, and working professionals. Our School has
    adopted a unique learning process, which has fieldwork and industry sponsored projects at
    its centre. This enables students, researchers, and faculty to develop insights into the real
    world industry/corporate scenarios to arrive at solutions through rigorous analytical
    experimentation..

    To groom industry-ready graduates, in addition to deep disciplinary knowledge, we
    provide training in business etiquette, professional behaviour, soft skills, and robust
    engagement with the industry within and outside the classroom. Towards this goal, we
    seek collaboration with industry stakeholders to create internship opportunities for our
    students during their programme and final placements upon graduation.

    I look forward to your participation in the placement process of our campus.

    Dean, Amrut Mody School of Management
