Business Meeting

IAABS agenda 

Indian Association of Autonomous Business Schools (IAABS) started  almost a decade ago  has an unique agenda to further the interests of the PGDM and autonomous business schools of the country. Historically, PGDM schools have been  known for their quality which is the result of the autonomy that they had enjoyed  over the years.

In the recent times however, the autonomy has been further accentuated by government policy which is increasingly learning towards giving greater flexibility to education institutions of greater value. In the wake of the New Education Policy 2020 adopted with great fanfare, the chances of the PGDM schools becoming more relevant and  strong has become possible provided there is common agenda of progress and consultation among the stake holders. 

IAABS Invites the PGDM leadership to share their thoughts  to further the lot of business education in the country.
