VESIM's academic approach focuses on developing students into responsible and industry-ready management professionals. The MMS academic experience is designed to strengthen logical thinking, analytical ability, communication, decision-making, leadership and practical business understanding.
The curriculum and academic activities provide students with opportunities to apply management concepts through projects, presentations, case studies, industry interactions, internships and other experiential learning activities. The academic approach also supports students in developing specialized management knowledge, including areas related to an MMS marketing specialization in Mumbai, through practical and industry-oriented learning.
To achieve this goal, VESIM has established a well-respected advisory board known as Board of Studies
The Board of Studies at VESIM advises the institute on academic matters and the need-of-the-hour in the business world. Currently, the board comprises of 20 members who have great experience in diverse fields of administration, education and business.
The Board plays a pivotal role in examining the syllabus; suggesting amendments in the syllabus based on industry trends; understanding existing teaching pedagogy & proposing changes; and encouraging industry engagements in the form of internships, projects or guest lectures.
Today's competitive business environment requires management graduates to develop more than academic knowledge. Along with a management degree, students need communication skills, professional confidence, leadership abilities and practical understanding to prepare for the challenges of the corporate world.
At VESIM, the Guru-Shishya Mentorship Program is designed to support the overall academic, personal and professional development of MMS students. The program connects students with experienced faculty mentors who provide guidance, share professional insights and help students make informed decisions about their academic and career journey.
Program Overview
The Guru-Shishya Mentorship Program follows a mentor-mentee approach, where a faculty member acts as the Guru (Mentor) and guides the Shishya (Mentee) throughout their management education.
Through regular mentoring and interaction, students receive guidance on academic development, career exploration, professional skills and workplace readiness. Faculty mentors share their knowledge and professional experiences to help students better understand industry expectations and develop the confidence required to begin their professional careers.
The mentorship program supports MMS students in areas such as:
- Career exploration and planning
- Professional and communication skills
- Personal and leadership development
- Academic guidance and learning
- Understanding industry expectations
- Decision-making and problem-solving
- Transition from management education to professional life
The Guru-Shishya Mentorship Program complements classroom learning at VESIM by providing students with personalized guidance and opportunities to learn from the experience of faculty mentors.
Highlights of Guru - Shishya Mentoring Program VESIM
Personality Development
The first impression always matters in any business organization. Mentors help students to polish their communication skills, improve their body language, boost their confidence, and hone their presentation skills.
Soft Skills Development
A big or small business organization is always keen to employ a student who has a repertoire of knowledge, and technical skills to succeed in his job. In addition to that, employers are nowadays favoring candidates who share a positive attitude, willingness to perform at difficult times, and are flexible. At VESIM, Mentors help students to acquire or develop these skills, as well as learn how to handle failure, success, criticisms, and conflicts at the workplace.
Cognitive Reframing
Also known as cognitive restructuring, this technique has been used by mentors to help students overcome their negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, addictions, phobias, etc. The faculty mentors provide individual and group counselling sessions to help students resolve their internal conflicts and boost their growth potential.
Curriculum Compliance & Customization
The institute adheres to Mumbai University's prescribed curriculum for the MMS program while utilizing the freedom to make contextual additions based on industry needs and feedback through departmental Boards of Studies.
