The Recognition At Digi100 Summit 2024: NBS Now A Part Of Digi100 Community
According to a recent McKinsey report on digital transformation in education, only 3% of higher education institutions globally have successfully implemented comprehensive digital strategies.
The Digi100 Summit is no ordinary event. Celebrating institutions that lead the charge in digital transformation, it recognizes pioneers who are reshaping education to meet modern demands. Narayana Business School’s inclusion in the Top 100 list is more than just an award, it’s a validation of its commitment to pushing boundaries.
Dr. Amit Gupta – Director at Narayana Business School, recipient of Academic Excellence At The 7th Industry Academia Conclave 2024 said, “Being recognized at the Digi100 Summit is an honor for us. It reflects our dedication to integrating technology in ways that truly make a difference for our students. At NBS, we believe education should prepare students for the future, and technology is key to achieving that vision”.
Technology Coupled With Dynamic NBS Curriculum
At Narayana Business School, the fusion of technology with a dynamic curriculum forms the backbone of its innovative educational approach. Traditional curricula, often criticized for being overly rigid and theoretical, fail to address the rapidly evolving demands of modern industries. Like we stated earlier, in another 2023 report conducted by the World Economic Forum, it predicts that 44% of core skills required for existing jobs will change by 2027, yet many educational institutions lag in adapting their teaching methods to meet this shift.
Addressing these shortcomings, NBS has redefined its curriculum to blend practical, industry-relevant knowledge with cutting-edge digital tools, creating an immersive and adaptive learning experience making students fit for the top 10 high demand jobs that will definitely skyrocket in 2025.
Whether enrolled in flagship programs like the PGDM Dual Specialization or the MBA + PGPCE, students benefit from a curriculum that seamlessly integrates technology, dynamic curriculum with core business concepts.
For instance, live business simulations incorporated into both the PGDM and MBA programs allow students to make strategic decisions and see their outcomes unfold in real time. This program-specific approach ensures that NBS students are not only mastering the foundations of business but also acquiring the agility needed.
