As MBA Programme has already started in the session 2025-2026 and with faculty selection process in place, it is considered opportune to start one-year Diploma Programme in Entrepreneurship now. The main objective behind devising this programme is to provide Entrepreneurship education to the potential entrepreneurs who intend to initiate their own start-ups or being a part of other's ventures. The Diploma Programme aims to impart appropriate education and offer training with expert faculty which will instil confidence in the trainees. In the current business environment, entrepreneurship is probably of the highest priority for the nation as newer technologies are putting pressure on business to innovate for ensuring socio-economic equilibrium. The proposed Diploma in Entrepreneurship is intended to cater to this need and fill the vacuum in entrepreneurship education and training.

The fee proposed for the one-year Diploma is Rs. 50,000 per Semester.

For successful completion of Diploma Programme, a student must earn a minimum of 40 credits during the 2 semesters. This is consistent with the UGC regulations.
