With a heavy emphasis on bridging the gap between industry and academia, St. Kabir Institute of
Professional Studies has been approaching Management education in India, differently. The B
School, which carries the legacy of over three decades, has been raising the bar for PGDM by
involving industry experts in every phase of its course delivery. From designing the curriculum to
rigorous industry interfaces with PGDM students, St. Kabir Institute of Professional Studies’
AICTE approved two years full-time management program with dual specialization is drawing a
lot of attention in Gujarat- from academicians and industrialists alike.

2. SKIPS, Ahmedabad has remained committed to offering high end, high quality, and value-driven
management education to students- making it gradually evolve as one of the top PGDM schools
in Gujarat. Through various industry oriented initiatives, curriculum, and strong faculty team, it
has lived up to that commitment and exceeded expectations over the years. SKIPS has brought its
recognition like ‘Fastest Growing B School’ Times of India 2017 and The Most Admired
Business School of the year (Gujarat) for National Business and Service Leadership Awards

Amongst the admirable aspects of St. Kabir Institute of Professional Studies, Ahmedabad is its
stunning infrastructure, which serves as the perfect platform for a dynamic learning experience
for students. From AC classrooms to well-equipped labs and library, cafeteria and state of the art
auditorium, the facilities are top notch. They aid students participating in a wide range of cultural
and sporting activities besides ones like the Book and Movie clubs. Moreover, they are also the
setting for events of the Industry Interaction Forum, which aims to offer students the required
corporate exposure.
One of the objectives of the B Schools is to create industry ready professionals at the end of the
program. That’s why SKIPS’s courses in Marketing / Digital Marketing, Finance, Human
Resources, Operations, International Business and Information Technology are designed with
industry inputs. The faculty team, many of whom have vast industry experience, deliver the
courses using new age teaching pedagogy like case studies, group discussions, simulated
exercises, workshops, role plays etc, to build a strong foundation for future management
professionals.
Some years ago SKIPS, Ahmedabad signed a MoU with the University of Aberdeen to offer its
students global exposure. Through initiatives like Employability Enhancement Program and
Profile Enhancement Support, they are equipped to face the challenges of the industry.
Internships with top organizations ensure that they have firsthand corporate experience. Rajat
Singh, who did his internship with the renowned Adani Group vouchers, “It helped me
understand how organizations function and how I can find my place in the industry.”
The results of these concerted efforts have been reflected in the final placements. St. Kabir
