Marketing

PIBM believes in Experiential Learning which is arrived through unique pedagogy, learning in-class or ex-class interspersed by in class discussion, case analysis and ex-campus field assignment and survey to intensify kinesthetic learning. PIBM focuses on experiential learning of students which ensures that students exhibit the outcomes not only through defining and explaining the topic but also applying and demonstrating the learning by executing, while developing the requisite competencies required for the job which serves the purpose of the topic. The PIBM students are valued and driven down to earth while brimming with the confidence to excel and deliver results from day one of their joining. They need not be given any gestational period to perform. They come out from PIBM fully job-ready.

This year in addition to normal teaching a special initiative was taken for students with interest in Digital Marketing by providing an additional "Turn Around Project" in which the students in partnership of a firm have instituted a revival of their business to provide them stability which otherwise suffered a loss due to the challenging times.

Business Analytics

At PIBM, Teaching and learning are industry-focused. Hence the study material used is the most advanced to fulfill industry needs. The pedagogy involves developing theoretical business foundations, understanding business problems, solving those using real-life scenarios, and developing capability in data-driven decision making.

Students gain knowledge, acquire skills, and develop an attitude to solve business problems. Knowledge is driven by an in-depth understanding of the subject area, while skill focus is like logical thinking, critical analysis, problem-solving, decision making, etc. The attitude development is to change the personality from passive to active like entrepreneurial and persuasion. We focus on skill-based learning to ensure that students have the skills and experience needed when they join the industry after graduating from PIBM. They are equipped and are capable of solving business problems using data and analytics. In summary, students aren't fresher but experienced professionals.
