Abstract

One of the significant challenges of teaching Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) courses lies in the dynamic nature of the programme itself where the only constant is the change. Hence, the main pedagogical aim in such a programme is teaching students how to continuously learn, unlearn and relearn in a lifelong fashion. There are multiple factors that hinder the learning outcomes of many offered courses in an MBA programme. At Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS) Pilani, the challenge is enhanced somewhat as the student population pursuing an MBA degree is mostly from an engineering background. Moreover, the institutional regulations do not disqualify students from appearing in any evaluation based on their attendance in the class. Thus, teachers have to incorporate an innovative approach to their teaching style for attracting students to the classrooms.
