• Immersive program with 15 months of theoretical studies with a 9-month internship
  • Transformation Pathway for students 

MUMBAI: Vivekanand Business School (VBS) has become the first business school in India to announce the launch of a 15+9 Post Graduate Diploma in Management – the Transformation Pathway, an industry-immersive programme. VBS’s 15+9 PGDM structure comprises 15 months of intensive classroom learning followed by a 9-month internship, enabling students to make the transition from theory to practice. A revolutionary future-ready learning ecosystem, it is designed to combine academic excellence with real-world impact. 

Built on the integrated pillars of Program, People, Place, and Proof of Quality, the course reimagines management education by combining classroom rigor, industry immersion, and global exposure to prepare students for leadership in an interconnected economy. The curriculum blends business fundamentals, emerging technologies, micro-credits, open electives, industry projects, and global immersion. Learning is strengthened by a highly qualified faculty, with 95% holding PhDs and an average of 15 years of experience. 

Introducing the program, Sandeep Bhardwaj, Director, Vivekanand Business School said, “The course is built on a simple idea: learning is most powerful when theory meets practice. Our program ensures students don’t just understand concepts; it guarantees that they learn to apply them in real business environments. By integrating academics with hands-on industry experience and global exposure, we are shaping graduates who are workplace-ready from day one and equipped to grow into thoughtful, effective leaders.” 

Anchored by National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and seen as equivalent to an MBA by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), the Transformation Pathway reflects VBS’s commitment to quality, relevance, and outcomes. Through its integrated model of pedagogy, partnerships, pathways, and professional development, Vivekanand Business School continues to nurture confident, globally aware graduates.

A Profound Loss: JK Monitor Mourns the Passing of Founding Chairman Dr. Priya Ranjan

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
