Diversity and Inclusiveness

Everyone in our community benefits from diversity of cultures, nationalities, and ethnicities, and we believe that this diversity is essential to our overall mission of educating future business leaders. We work to create an environment in which the value of diversity and inclusiveness is understood and celebrated, and we do not tolerate discrimination.

Educational Philosophy

Excel's strategic choices are guided by the above stated general principles and a deeply held educational philosophy.

Faculty Scholarship and Teaching

Business students learn most effectively from scholar-educators who combine leading-edge research and inspirational teaching. Excel has a full-time faculty who excel in both research and teaching, whose teaching is informed by their research-based expertise, and whose academic rigor edifies their students. These same full-time faculty members teach the large majority of courses in the MBA program and other Excel offerings.

Student Access to Faculty Expertise

Students' business knowledge, analytical skills, and decision making abilities are enhanced by exposure and access to professors' expertise and methods of knowledge discovery. Excel's favorable ratio of students to research-active professors provides an exceptional degree of access to expertise, both in and out of the classroom. In addition to a comprehensive set of core and elective courses, Excel offers unique, small-scale seminars designed to give students in-depth access to our faculty's expertise and critical thinking.

Student Achievement and Diversity

Students learn a great deal from the experiences of their peers and are motivated by belonging to a cooperative community of brilliant colleagues from diverse backgrounds who share a common goal of being leaders. Excel requires that its enrollees have a record of high academic achievement and substantive eagerness to learn. Excel Business Academy at Bangalore ensures that each entering class encompasses a diverse set of personal, cultural, and business experiences and perspectives.

Scale and Focus

Limiting the size of the student body and focusing on specific programs enhances student interaction and allows faculty and staff to concentrate on the quality of the educational experience.

Curriculum and Pedagogy

Business leaders need functional knowledge, practical management skills, and the ability to identify and analyze problems from multiple perspectives by using a variety of approaches.Excel's PGPM and MBA program has an integrated core curriculum with rigorous coverage of key functional areas and disciplines. The curriculum provides strong functional expertise and develops practical management skills through active learning, group projects, and simulations. The depth and breadth of our elective offerings allow students to focus on specific areas of study within the context of the broad perspective and cross-functional knowledge required in top management positions.

Cooperation and Teamwork

The abilities to participate in and lead an effective team, to balance competition with collaboration, and to successfully mentor others are essential elements of leadership that can be enhanced in an academic setting.

Learning Environment

Students learn the most when they fully immerse themselves in their studies and concentrate on learning from professors and fellow students. The physical setting and intensity of learning experiences are key factors in the effectiveness of a program. Excel MBAs study full-time in a residential environment with a close-knit community, providing abundant opportunities for personal and professional development. Our living and learning facilities are designed to encourage complete immersion in learning with a full exchange of ideas and viewpoints.

Leadership Development

A student's leadership skills and potential can be enhanced in an academic setting. Innate leadership abilities can be honed by increasing self-awareness through examining informed feedback, observing role models, and experiencing leadership roles. Excel provides a comprehensive leadership development program, including leadership coverage in core and elective courses, comprehensive feedback mechanisms, personalized coaching, multiple leadership opportunities, and a broad array of visiting executives to serve as role models.
