University Business School Chandigarh

UBS Chandigarh is accredited by NAAC and affiliated with Panjab University. University Business School (formerly, the Department of Commerce and Business Management) has been imparting quality management education to develop dedicated, innovative, and effective managers, researchers, and teachers for four decades. The rechristening of the Department of Commerce and Business Management as University Business School (UBS) in 1995 by Panjab University, symbolizes the recognition of the completeness and maturity of the Department as a center of management education in India.

The transformation from a Department to a school has given it a distinct identity as a 'School of Thought'. The philosophy of management education at UBS is built on an integrative value system. It is motivated by duty-bound work ethics, human approach, and scientific temper. The philosophy of the school is translated into a mission of creating the wholesome personality of human beings with a view to producing effective managers, researchers, and teachers. Modern attitudes, practical wisdom, knowledge, and skill relevant to management are deeply ingrained in the students.

UBS has consistently been among the top Business Schools of India. A number of top business associates of top companies in India, visit the college to participate in the placement process.

The faculty interacts with industry through consultancy assignments, management development programs, and industry focused research and case studies. A good number of top executives from the industry in and around Chandigarh take regular classes at the school, which helps in imparting pragmatic sense to the teaching-learning process. In addition, management luminaries are invited for special lectures.

Practical experience in the actual work environment of the industry is a necessary component of full-time management programs. It is compulsory for every student to go for a summer training of eight-week duration at the end of the first year so that students can relate their classroom learning with the reality of management and the second year program becomes more goal-oriented and meaningful. The students take Research Projects based on specific industry-focused problems in the fourth semester.
