At DBA & R, the training starts with an emphasis on thought process and the entire curriculum, the pedagogy, the activities, events, the projects, programs and the resources are designed to manifest the innate and infinite potential of students. "We do realize that MBA course is an adoptive education, and hence we follow the project based learning to groom the students according to the corporate expectations,' says Dr. Somani. The project based learning method helps the students to understand the relevance of theoretical concepts with the practices of the industry, leading to a close interaction of the institute with the corporate world. Hence, the institute is in tie-ups with the local industries in Akola, Khamgaon and Shegaon region and with Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) at national level, ISBA Govt. of India, Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture (MACCIA), Mumbai at state level and Vidarbha Industries Association (VIA), MSME-DI, Nagpur etc. through MoUs.

The institute also indulges in various other activities to bridge the industry academics gap. The multidimensional management event named "Pariskriti" held once in every year at the end of the academic year helps the students to become ready for the industry. As a motivation, the institute also organizes a national level competition named "Prakalpakriti" based on summer internship of MBA participants. The competition provides a platform for the management students from different parts of the country to come closer and interact, fostering their learning through sharing of innovative ideas. "Quality is our benchmark and we strive to ensure this quality in all that we offer," says Dr. Somani.
