MBA in Infrastructure Development and Management (MBA IDM)

Involvement of private sector in developing and financing infrastructure has necessitated a demand for engineering professionals, who also have good exposure to domains of demand analysis, regulatory and governance framework, legal & policy guidelines, environmental & social issues, tendering, bidding & contractual management, etc. Hence, there is an urgent need of a large workforce of professionals having comprehensive & multifaceted skills for Infrastructure Planning, Development & Management.

ORIENTATION & PEDAGOGY
The pedagogy at SCMHRD is a concoction of learning techniques that prepare the students for real world challenges. Classroom lectures at SCMHRD are never a monologue but always a discussion as the students are encouraged to question the common practices and come up with innovative solutions. They are made aware of the different verticals of many industries through Guest Lectures where they get a chance to learn and interact with leaders from various corporate fields. This helps in broadening their perspective and gives them a glimpse of what the corporate world holds for them.
SCMHRD follows a unique way to help its students get acquainted with their batchmates by organizing an outbound learning programme at Surya Shibhir every year. A lot of team building exercises are conducted in order to remind them that the first order of action is working together, before working to win. The long and challenging trek followed by a chill-out session where the students sing and dance out their entire tiredness are a few cherishable highlights of the outbound exercise.
On the very first day, as part of the induction programme, students have a session with the Director and heads of various departments who walk them through what SCMHRD has in store for them. Students are also briefed about the importance of gender sensitization in the development of an individual. The initiative of conducting this discussion has definitely proven to be a great start to the journey of the students towards becoming inclusive leaders in future.
Language is not only a medium of communication but also a channel to build relationships and nurture friendships. “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, which means “The world is one family” is entirely true in the post-globalization era. This intensifies the need for future business leaders to be well-versed in at least one foreign language. At SCMHRD, students are given an opportunity to learn foreign languages, thereby preparing them to be world-class leaders.
