VESIM believes in imparting quality education. Our main focus is on shaping individuals who can emerge as well-known industrialists, agile administrators and shrewd leader-managers. We work towards this goal by introducing courses, programmes and exercises that help students develop logical thinking skills, aptitude to make right business decisions, a knack to self-review decisions and ability to identify hidden talents.
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 scenario not only demands students armed with a degree in management but also expects them to be equipped with a set of requisite skills to succeed in the industry. As the industry environment in India is undergoing a phenomenal change, it has become important for committed business schools like VESIM to get the students ready for the corporate challenges within the 2 years of the study duration. In addition to 100% interactive classroom learning, we also practice the Guru-Shishya Mentorship Program. As the name suggests, this program involves a “Guru” (Mentor) and “Shishya” (Mentee).
Program Overview
The mentoring program is designed to aid in the transformation of students into responsible corporate professionals. The faculty mentor being an experienced individual shares his personal and professional experiences along with knowledge with his/ her mentees. This mentoring relationship supports management students in many ways such as exploring various career opportunities, and even assisting them as they are entering into early years of their professional life to name a few.
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.
