The two part-time, three-year management courses at the Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), Delhi University, are set to be costlier from the next academic session. Not only that: the names of the courses will change and their duration will be reduced to two years. The proposals are likely to be approved by the academic and executive councils on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
It's been proposed to hike the fees of MBA (part time) and MBA (healthcare administration) to Rs 50,000 per annum from Rs 11,000. And henceforth, these courses will be known as MBA (executive) and MBA (executive) healthcare administration. And the intake of students in one course will also go down.
At present, the B-school admits 232 students for the MBA (part time) course; after the new structure is implemented, only 172 will be absorbed. In the healthcare administration course, the B-school will admit 42 students instead of 37.
A senior FMS official said the faculty approved the proposed changes as there has been a gradual decline in the number of takers for the two courses. "World over, the executive programmes are of maximum two years duration; so, it makes no sense to keep the duration at three years," the official added.
Stating that there will be no dilution of the curriculum because of shortening of the duration, a senior faculty member of the FMS said that the programme will be more intensive. Now, the students of part-time programmes must have 75% attendance and will have to clear the courses within a period of four years.
The duration of the courses would be two years now and it has been proposed to raise the fees to Rs 50k.
