About the Graphic Era MBA
Graphic Era's general MBA is a two-year postgraduate management programme. The university says the Department of Management Studies has been delivering management education since 2003 and its MBA is designed around industry-oriented learning.
Students who want broad management training but also want to choose a functional or sector-oriented specialisation. The programme is particularly useful if you want flexibility rather than a narrowly technical MBA.
