PGPM + MBA (Bangalore University)

Overview

ATTITUDE

Having the right attitude is perhaps the most critical ingredient in management. At Vanguard the focus is on aspects like Pro-activeness, Goal setting, Time management and creation of positive habits. This is done through our mentorship program, various clubs and activities as well as through courses like personal transformation.

SKILLS

At VBS we have identified certain core skills that are critically important to a frontline manager. These skills include Communication skills, Team skills, Digital skills, Quantitative and Analytical skills. The basics of these skills are imparted in the 1st year through core courses like WoC, IT, QM etc. More importantly these skills are learned by application: Industry projects, Event organizations, Intra and Inter B school Contests teach application of knowledge to solve real life problems.

KNOWLEDGE

Management knowledge involves a theoretical foundation and its application to understanding and solving business problems. The courses give the basic foundation and the case studies and examples illustrate the application. Here, VBS faculty have worked in some of India’s best corporates and thus have the industry exposure to explain the practical application of the subjects. The result is a vigorous program of over 30 subjects across 6 trimesters updated every year.

Financial Assistance

We are aware that affordability is a major concern for all middle class families and we have tried our best to keep the fees at an affordable level. In fact, VBS is one of very few B Schools in India where the Average Salary at placement is HIGHER than the two-year fee level. At Vanguard we firmly believe that world class education can and should be offered at a reasonable fee. Our aim is to make quality management education affordable and accessible to all students. An affordable fee also enables easier approval for education loans without collateral. Again a lower EMI makes it much easier for a student to repay the loan from his/her salary.

However, we also offer partial fee waivers for students of exceptional merit as well as for students from low-income families.

  1. Class X, XII Scores (Min of 80%)
