Nitte School of Management – A Gateway of Exemplary Learning

0

For generations gone by, the only way to get on in work was to pay your dues. Promotion, reward, the steady ascent up the corporate ladder were all earned and paid for by commitment to the job, loyalty to the company and – perhaps more than anything else – by putting in the time. But, fortunately, times changed and so did humans. The Gen Y aka the Millennials needed more than a steady career, but perhaps, be someone who can be able managers and expert professionals. Going beyond just material rewards, the managers of the 21st century demanded contribution and accomplishment. Subsequently, the next step in the life of a management aspirant is to find such an institution which works rigorously in this very path of imparting such an education, which helps them get converted into workers, who are prone to succeed at anything and everything they do. Even though b-schools across the length and breadth of India promise their students of a success-filled life ahead, one institution which lives up to its brand-value and still, continues to create managers/leaders of tomorrow – Nitte School of Management, comes as a ray of hope for all, even during these gloomy times of the pandemic.
