T.A. Pai Management Institute (TAPMI), under the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), has restructured its MBA (International Business) programme beginning with the 2025-27 batch.
The restructured programme will adopt a trimester-based academic calendar, replacing the existing semester structure, a TAPMI release said on Tuesday.
The shift is part of a larger initiative to streamline the MBA (IB) programme with TAPMI’s other MBA offerings, fostering greater academic synergy and operational efficiency. By aligning with the trimester format used across TAPMI’s other MBA programmes, students will benefit from standardised academic cycles, shared learning experiences, and improved opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaboration, it said.
The revamped curriculum is designed to reflect contemporary global business needs, with an increased focus on international trade and policy, foreign language proficiency, global finance and cross-cultural management, export-import operations and international compliance, and geopolitics and strategy.
One of the most significant enhancements the trimester system provides is increased flexibility in curriculum development, timely updating, and adoption of the most appropriate pedagogy, ensuring that the learning experience remains relevant, dynamic, and aligned with evolving industry needs. This is aimed at strengthening the students’ domain expertise while also broadening their career prospects, the release said.
