ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

 

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

The Department of Business Administration is celebrating its 25th anniversary! The undergraduate programme was reinstated in 1997, with the vision to groom young women into executives to meet the Global needs of the business era. It has witnessed continued growth and success. A lot has changed over the past years, but the rigor and quality of our academics has remained constant. Our students continue to push the boundaries of business and take on leadership roles in different capacities. As we reflect on the past 25 years, we also turn our eyes to the future. Every student who has come through our doors has had an impact on the history of the department. We eagerly await what the next 25 years and beyond will bring as the legacy of the Department of Business Administration continues.
 

BBA (HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION)

As part of its vision to diversify and equip students with specialized professional skills, the Department launched a separate programme in collaboration with Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore in the year 2017. This pioneering initiative was designed to integrate core business administration knowledge with the dynamics of the healthcare sector. Over the years, the programme has successfully produced graduates who are well-trained in both administration and hospital management practices, preparing them to meet the growing demands of the healthcare industry. A distinctive feature of the programme is its experiential learning model, where students undertake a 1-month project to apply classroom learning in real healthcare settings and complete a 2-month internship in Christian Medical College Vellore to gain hands-on exposure to hospital operations and administration. To strengthen industry–academia collaboration, the Department has signed MoUs with leading healthcare organizations, including:
 
  • Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore
  • Indian Medical Association (IMA)
  • Schieffelin Institute of Health – Research and Leprosy Centre, Karigiri, Vellore
  • Manisundaram Medical Mission (MMM) Hospital, Vellore
  • Cloud Aspirers LLC, USA
These partnerships provide students with opportunities for training, research, hospital visits, and seminars, ensuring they are industry-ready.
