When global society was fighting heavy odds to survive the recession, progress in the educational sector became relatively stagnant. But, as markets showed steady signs of improvement, it became quite evident that business management studies have emerged as the favorites for career-minded professionals.

The Centre for Management Studies & Research (MBA), P. A. College of Engineering under P.A. Educational Trust, Mangalore established in the year 2001 and has been at the forefront to establish a fresh direction for systematic management education. We are passionate of providing the best to our Students through consistent dedication in teaching the essence of management education. The department has the state-of- the-art computing and class room facilities, supported by an extensive library of books and journals, committed to offer high quality education programs in Management disciplines at Post Graduate and Doctoral levels.

We have experienced and committed faculty members under whose guidance and mentoring, students transform into professionals of world standards. We have signed letter of intent for academic cooperation with Austin University, California which incorporate job- focused management education and trains young men and women for great jobs in the global economy. The participants are offered internship/ training in the Silicon Valley from some of the tech world’s most innovative organizations such as Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Google and AT&T.

We nurture leaders and entrepreneurs with human touch and the department consciously strives to create a culture that values teaming, humility and professionalism at all levels. We are actively involved in learning, fostering, creating knowledge and believe that learning can be a celebration. We are laying emphasis on student centric participative learning through extensive use of Case Method, Class presentations and several management training techniques and tools used in corporate world. Our industry- ready – curriculum is developed jointly by experts from industry and academia along with VTU syllabi.

We conduct various certification programmes, symposiums, management quiz, and workshops where they get to interact with some of the best minds of the industry for building leadership qualities. These also prove to be useful in helping students realize how they are expected to conduct in a typical corporate environment. In addition to strict academics, the students are also exposed to live projects giving them action – learning opportunities. Their projects are evaluated by executives to understand the rigor of corporate life.
