The Centre of Management and Humanities (CMH) was established on 1 September 2016 by carving out the academic section pertaining to Management and Humanities from the Department of Applied Sciences. It began functioning as an independent Centre, following norms similar to those applicable to other Departments of the Institute, from 3 January 2017 in the New Academic Block of the Institute.
The Centre offers compulsory courses, namely ‘Communication Skills’ and ‘Universal Human Values’ to first-year B.Tech. students, and ‘Entrepreneurship and New Venture Creation’, in collaboration with the Wadhwani Foundation, to second-year B.Tech. students. Other compulsory courses, such as ‘Strategic and Innovation Management’, ‘Organizational Psychology’, ‘Introduction to Management’, ‘Financial Markets’ and ‘Business Environment’, are offered to third- and fourth-year B.Tech. students.
In addition, CMH provides ‘Management and Soft Skills’ to first-year M.Tech. students and ‘Research Publication and Ethics’ to second-year M.Tech. students and Ph.D. scholars. The Centre also offers Minor Specialisation in Entrepreneurship, including courses ‘From Idea to Startup’, ‘Entrepreneurial Marketing’, ‘Fundamentals of Finance and Accounting’, ‘Project- I’, and ‘Project-II’, to students across different B.Tech. branches.
The Centre facilitates students in enhancing their critical understanding, leadership qualities, and communication skills through interactive pedagogy, tutorials, practical sessions, seminars and workshops.
