In a VUCA world made ever so dynamic with rapid technological advances, the young

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.
