Purbanchal University affiliation

DAV Business School is affiliated with Purbanchal University for its MBA program. The affiliation places the degree within the academic structure prescribed by the university, including semester courses, electives, specialization subjects, seminars, research work, and thesis requirements.

The school conducts the MBA in the evening shift. This arrangement is a distinct part of the DAV MBA format and has been maintained since the program began in 2010.

MBA program at DAV Business School

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is the management program offered by DAV Business School under Purbanchal University.

The MBA is structured to develop knowledge across major areas of management rather than concentrating on a single business function from the beginning. Students move through marketing, accounting, communication, economics, finance, operations, human resource management, entrepreneurship, information technology management, strategy, international business, corporate governance, research, seminars, and specialization courses.

Under Purbanchal University's MBA syllabus effective from the Fall 2022 batch, the program carries 69 credit hours across four semesters.

The curriculum provides three elective stages. Elective choices include Principles and Contemporary Practices of Management, Introduction to Computing, E-commerce and Digital Marketing, Introduction to Public Relations, Organization Design and Change, and Project Management.

Students select one specialization area from:

• Marketing

• Finance

• Human Resource Management

• Operations and Supply Chain Management

Each specialization contains a group of subject options, from which four specialization courses are taken across the third and fourth semesters. Marketing options include areas such as marketing research, product and brand management, sales and retailing, service marketing and CRM, and advertising management. Finance, human resource management, and operations and supply chain management have their own sets of advanced subjects.

Spring and Fall MBA seats

DAV Business School has separate approved seat allocations for the two MBA intakes:

• Spring Intake: 33 seats

• Fall Intake: 33 seats

The Spring/Fall allocation is therefore 33/33 for the MBA program.

How the MBA is taught

DAV Business School combines scheduled academic courses with activities intended to connect management concepts with business situations. Case analysis and development form part of this approach, alongside presentations, research work and discussions.

Experiential components include internships, field trips, field research and live learning projects. The school also uses an incubation and management lab, research activities and case-based exercises as part of its broader academic approach.

Academic activities shown in the MBA program include a workshop on Research Methodology, a talk program on Monetary Policy, an MBA symposium, project-related field visits and an MBA tour to Chitwan. Student activities have also included MBA and corporate futsal tournaments. These sit alongside the formal university curriculum rather than replacing semester-based academic requirements.

The school also organizes guest sessions. One identified example is a session on social entrepreneurship, providing a subject-specific discussion alongside regular management coursework.

Research and academic work

Research has a defined place within the institutional structure. DAV Business School has an Academic and Research Cell chaired by Mr. Anil Kedia, with academic and administrative members participating in its work.

Its research activities cover faculty and graduate research capacity, academic inquiry, business-startup ideas, policy discussions and management-related issues. The school has also used conferences, seminars, case discussions, interactions with professionals, guest professors and team presentations within its academic activities.

Research work is connected directly to the MBA curriculum as well. Students take Research Methodology and Thesis Proposal in Semester III and complete a five-credit Thesis in Semester IV. This gives research a formal credit-bearing role in addition to the school's research-cell activities.

DAV Business School has also published a semi-annual research journal. Its institutional activities include an international conference titled “Integrated Knowledge and Technology for Sustainable Development.”

Entrepreneurship and management practice

Entrepreneurship appears in both the university curriculum and the school's institutional priorities. Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprises is a compulsory Semester III course, while the school's mission also places emphasis on entrepreneurship, sustainability, adaptability and practical life skills.

The incubation and management lab adds another entrepreneurship-related component. It is intended to support work around business ideas and the development of solutions connected with future business activity. Case analysis and management exercises provide another route for students to examine decisions, business problems and organizational situations.

Institutional vision and values

DAV Business School frames its vision around preparing students to participate as global citizens while retaining human values. Its mission gives attention to life skills, entrepreneurship for sustainability, empathy, tolerance, knowledge, adaptability and the ability to work in a changing business environment.

Professionalism, active listening, persistence, collaboration, timely action, gratitude and humility are also identified among its institutional values. These themes are presented alongside academic and professional preparation rather than as separate extracurricular objectives.

Academic leadership

Mr. Anil Kedia serves as Chairman of DAV Business School and also chairs the Academic and Research Cell.
