MBA Programs

Master in Business Administration

SJPI is one of the pioneer MBA institutes in Gujarat. The MBA programme is governed by AICTE and affiliated with Gujarat Technological University (GTU). This two-year full-time programme consists of four semesters, combining classroom teaching with organizational internships and projects. The first year of the MBA programme comprises two semesters, Semester I and Semester II. After completing the Semester II university examination, students must undertake a 4 to 6-week summer internship in an organization. In the second year, students select their specialization and choose sectoral and functional electives. Once a specialization is chosen in Semester 3, it cannot be changed in subsequent semesters.

The program's structure is designed to provide students with the best industry exposure and a nurturing classroom environment, helping them become tomorrow's leaders in their chosen specialization.

Each of the first two semesters (Semester I and II) consists of seven full 4-credit subjects and one non-credit subject. Semester III consists of eight full 4-credit subjects, including two projects and one non-credit subject. Starting from this semester, students have the option to select their subject specializations, functional, and sectoral electives. Semester IV consists of five full 4-credit subjects, including one project. There will be both external and internal evaluations for all full-credit subjects. For non-credit subjects, there will be only external evaluation. Students must achieve minimum passing marks in the non-credit subjects, although these marks will not be counted towards the final result, grade or percentage calculation.
