About Us
School of Management (SOM) was set up by the West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT) in July 2006. The aim of the School was to function as a centre for advanced studies and research in Management and allied disciplines. The objectives of the School of Management can be broadly summarized as under:

(a) promote cutting edge research in different areas of management, economics and finance, and other social sciences  with special emphasis on interdisciplinary research;

(b) introduce new and relevant programmes at the postgraduate levels which would foster an effective interface between industry and academics;

(c) support the different programmes running under WBUT in management and allied disciplines in terms of updating their course structure and syllabi, and also improve and upgrade the evaluation and examination process.

To fulfill these objectives, the School of Management has already started the M. Phil and Ph. D programmes in Management, is actively involved in executive development programmes, and regularly organizes seminars and workshops.

An M. Tech programme in Industrial Engineering and Management (IE&M)is being offered under SOM from the 2008-2009 academic session.

The Department of Natural Science is also currently housed under SOM and is headed by the Director, School of Management.
