Placement
Placement for MBA
The MBA (Infrastructure) programme at the TERI University has been designed to help meet the management and leadership needs of the rapidly growing infrastructure sectors of the global economy. Our students are not only exposed to the various dimensions of managing an infrastructure business – including the legal, policy, and regulatory frameworks; a technical understanding of operations; competition theory and practice; sensitization to environmental and social impact assessments and requisite management functions – but are also taught to conduct independent enquiry and assessments.
Each student has been exposed to real life challenges during the summer assignments that they have undertaken over 7-9 weeks. The major project work that they are required to undertake in their final semester aims to thoroughly orient them into their chosen field of work and helps them build on the practical training acquired during the summer to transform the rich repertoire of theoretical knowledge into solid professional skill-building.
