REASONS
TO CHOOSE
OURGRADUATES
.
The location of Assam University at Si1char in the southern part
of Assam enables it enjoy some
distinct advantages:
. Silchar is the Tea Capital of South
Assam. The University Campus
is surrounded by lush green tea
gardens where the serene setting
provides an ideal atmosphere for
study and research.
. All roads to the southern part of
North East India covering
Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur and
South Assam pass through Silchar
according the place centrality and
also a 'gateway' status. The
divisional/regional headquarters
of a number of nationalised banks,
insurance corporations and
corporate houses are located in the
vicinity of the University Campus
making close industry-institute
linkage possible.
. A specific edge in favour of
Assam University is conferred by
its location at a point where the
SAARC region converges with
the ASEAN, where traditionally
people belonging to the two cultu-
res used to meet and transact their goods, ideas and knowledge for
mutual enrichment and well-being. The Centre for Studies of East
Asian Business and Economy now coming up in the Department of
Business Administration aims to imbibe among the executives-of-
tomorrow a global perspectives with special focus on in-depth
understanding of East Asian business realities.
The only challenge seemingly put forth before the University is its
geographical distance from metropolitan India. Yet this challenge
has provided the University with an impetus to bridge the gap by
developing closer connectivity through creation of an e-enabled state-
of-the-art campus environment where students can have instant access
to global highways of information and knowledge.
fD
The Assam University MBAs have their unique sources of strength in
the following:
I
First, they are groomed in an e-enabled academic ambience where

The 2-year MBA Programme undergone by the students is
administered by a dedicated core Faculty whose members have been
drawn from diverse backgrounds and disciplines through the process
of national level selection. The current student faculty ratio is around
7: I (compared to the globally accepted norm of 8: 1) which makes
possible faculty's close supervision and intimate nurturing of students
covering every aspect of their development process - knowledge,
skill and attitude.
Being a Central Government funded institution, DBA-SMS applies
stringent selection criteria and procedure for admitting students to
the MBA Programme. The four-tier selection process focuses on
excellence of pre-MBA academic record, MAT score and
performance in GD and PI. This in turn suggests that, in terms of
merit and academic background, the DBA-SMS ites are comparable
to the best of their counterparts in this country.
