In many institutions including the some premier B-Schools, MBA curriculum becomes stagnated. Koshys makes difference here. They specially designed teaching methodologies of the institute help the students understand the curriculum better. They have adopted a Pedagogy, which is based on problem solving. \"Here students are encouraged to identify the problem and find the solution on their own. An elaborate discussion happens on the different approaches that can be used for solving the problems,\" says Dr. Vigneshwar N Bhat, Director-Academics.
