Biz school, ICICI Pru tie-up

Chennai Business School (CBS) had tied up with ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company to introduce a yearlong post graduate programme in Management and Insurance this academic year. The programme will be jointly developed by the two parties and students enrolling for the programme will be hired by ICICI Prudential after course completion.
The institute will also offer new specialisations in IT, telecom and marketing streams starting this academic year, according to Ms Minnie Menon, Associate Dean and Director of the institute. Currently, CBS offers a yearlong post graduate management programme in three specialisations - human resources, marketing and communications and retail (offered through a tie up with Pantaloon Retail, now a Future Group company).
Talking to Business Line on the sidelines of the graduation ceremony of CBS' first batch of students, Ms Menon said CBS would set up institutes in Mumbai, Bangalore and Bhubhaneshwar and courses would commence from August. All the new institutes would offer the programme in Management and Insurance. Additionally, the institutes at Mumbai and Bangalore would offer the retail stream of specialisation to students. Other streams available at the Chennai institute would be introduced at these centres.
