I chose this course because it allowed me to nurture my techno-managerial skills. The teachers have a great knowledge base and the curriculum changes as per the industry needs. This year, a course related to data analytics and supply chain digitization has been introduced seeing the current scenario and rapid adaptation to digital platforms by various companies. A course led by Prof. David Simchi Levi(eminent thought leader in supply chain management from MIT, USA) and Prof. Manjoy Tiwari (Director of NITIE) was also conducted for the students as well as for the industry professional for Supply chain digitization and management. The exams are held in a timely manner and as per the schedule decided by the college mangement.
