The job of a faculty associated with the field of management/tourism is more of a facilitator and a guide. She/He has to ensure complete assimilation of knowledge. To do so successfully one needs intelligent and diligent students, supportive management as well as state-of-the-art infrastructure. At Skyline all three are in abundance.

I would first throw some light on our students: young, energetic, full of new ideas, techno-savvy with a never-say-die attitude, are the hallmark of a ‘SKYLINER’. Interacting with them either in or out of the classroom is an experience characterized by their joie de vivre. Be it assignments, presentations, class discussions, there never is any dearth of students ready for the job. In this endeavour they are ably supported by both the management of the school and the infrastructure.

The philosophy and vision of SKYLINE to groom "World Class Managers" is a mission taken very seriously by the school’s management. This value permeates all through the hierarchy. Lack of bureaucracy, transparent decision-making, involvement of students, faculty and administration in all decisions, makes working at Skyline a pleasure. Regular feedback on faculty by the students helps us to deliver better by incorporating the feedback in our subsequent sessions.

A library with one of the widest collection of books – latest and the best, helps us in preparing a more thorough lecture. Easy availability of all management, marketing and tourism journals keeps us and the students abreast of all the new developments in this field. Internet access, state-of-the-art computer facility keeps SKLYINE wired to the world.

Above all, every experience at SKYLINE is a challenge and a joy, which we all look forward to.

Faculty

As a faculty, I must confess that the student at SKYLINE BUSINESS SCHOOL is a busy person. The students are trained to be work managers right from the Foundation Level of study. I must add that I have been a witness to some of the fine performances of professional brilliance by these young managers. A host of factors, I reckon, contribute to such fine moulding. The learning environment here promotes faculty-student learning, industry-student learning & student-student learning. The internalisation of concepts is through the application of teaching to real-time situations, & sharing of real-time experiences by the faculty.

The faculty comprises experienced practicing managers, with premium managerial qualifications, well in tune with the latest on the business front. The classroom sessions, by design, are highly interactive. The presentations and the case studies, I believe, bring about intellectual maturity in the students. It is a pleasure to watch the students preparing together, with the competitiveness, the team spirit & the camaraderie in full motion.

Talking about teamwork, students also do a fine job in managing trade fairs and other promotional activities. The newsletter in this regard is a commendable endeavour. The weekly presentation contest organized by the students is an interesting phenomenon. Students have been actively involved in organising field study trips and excursions, viz. the study trip to Dubai, excursion to Nainital & the adventure trip to Rishikesh.

Coming back to academics, the curriculum is very comprehensive. Subjects like Cross Cultural Communication, International Business & Corporate Strategy, at the undergraduate level, definitely provide the Skyline students a sustainable edge over others. The students of Tourism are also exposed to vocational subjects (like the CRS) which make the learning complete. I must also say that Skyline has been innovative in its academic practices and quality control. The transparencies of all the classes are hosted on the local LAN server within a day of the class. Each class is reviewed through student feedback forms. The Internet is used as a good learning resource by the students. A fine collection of archives on the CDs also form a good reference source for the students.

The Skyline students have a lot of industry interaction during the course of their study. The students, in the final year, are required to prepare a 15000 word dissertation on industry related topics, which is examined by a panel of experts from the industry. The students also have ample active interactions with the corporates on various forums, like the national-level seminars organised by the CII & the ASSOCHAM. No wonder that the industry relates well with the Skyline students, having interacted with them off & on. The Summer Training & the Final placements prove the point.
