Chennai, Feb 15:

        Management institutes have introduced global perspectives in their curriculum to prepare students for emerging challenges in their career.

        'Chennai is fast emerging as the nerve centre for management education in the country.

        And many of the management institutes have introduced new concepts in their curriculum,' said Professor S Sriram, executive director, Great Lakes Institute of Management. He was speaking at a press meet yesterday to focus on the progress of GLIM in providing management education.

        Also, teaching methods have undergone rapid change in B-schools which had adopted a cosmopolitan ambience of late.

        'Education has become more student centric as compared to bygone days when the lecturer assumed the primary attention in a class room,' he said.

        Moreover, Sriram said the focus now on creating value-based entrepreneurs to make India a super power in the comity of nations.

        Unlike in the Western countries, where the majority of students in B-schools came from humanities stream, in India most of Engineering graduates sought admission in business schools, he explained.

        GLIM had played host to 63 companies which extended 244 placement orders to 154 students who passed out at the campus recruitment this year. The single highest offer came from Cognizant Technology for a gross salary of Rs 17 lakh per annum.
