No. of Paragraph 12

In a first, Mumbai University will offer a bridge course for engineering graduates (BE) wishing to pursue management education for post-graduation (PG). As they are now allowed lateral entry directly to the second year of the two-year Master of Management Studies (MMS) course; the bridge course is expected to help engineering graduates to catch-up with fundamentals of management studies.

This bridge course includes subjects such as fundamentals of management theory and practice, financial accounting for business, fundamentals of marketing, operations management, corporate finance, human resource management, and information systems and digital transformation. The objective is to allow engineering students to learn basics of management education as they will directly enter the second year of the two-year PG course, after completing four years of engineering.

In a recent meeting, the academic council of Mumbai University approved the bridge course prepared by the board of studies, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommendations.

Following these recommendations which demand greater academic flexibility and a more streamlined path of higher education for students to avoid multiple entry-posts; MU approved two MMS PG programmes – one will be a single-year tenure where students completing a four-year Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) will be eligible for admission. The other is a two-year MMS, where apart from arts graduates taking admission to the first year, students completing a the four-year BE can directly take admission to the second year, as per guidelines by the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
