Dr. Pavana Dibbur Vice - Chancellor Alliance University Dear Student, I warmly welcome you to Alliance University where we have a well-established Alliance School of Business which runs business programs at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The University was established as a Private University in Karnataka in 2010 and has its origins as a standalone business school which was established over 15 years ago. The Alliance School of Business is the oldest of the schools and colleges which constitute Alliance University. The University has grown from strength to strength and from an initial handful of students, the University now has a student population of over 7,000 (covering all colleges). The students comprise undergraduate and postgraduate students especially from the Indian subcontinent and a few foreign nationals. We also have visiting students from different parts of the world. As you are aware, in India, the study of business processes now occupies a place of prime importance. There is, therefore, no doubt about the fact that business oriented programs are fundamental for the social and economic progress in the globalized economy of today which is critical for India. A knowledge of the myriad aspects of business and soft skills, for example, is important for working in an environment of discontinuous change, and in a globally oriented economy. The Alliance School of Business is aware of this and is

geared to producing potential managers who will be able to productively use their knowledge for the economic advancement of society. We also work closely with professional bodies and corporate houses in the development of our courses and we have consulted them to ensure that our students are gaining relevant and requisite knowledge and skills required for a global business market and make them market ready. By enabling our students to fully adapt to the ever changing world of work, we believe we are seriously improving your employment options. In fact, Alliance University is ranked as being among the top universities by various ranking agencies. We at Alliance University also recognize the fact that, the quality of a countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human capital is critical to its development, social cohesion and global competitiveness. Therefore, the university and its colleges present an environment which is ideal for teaching, studying and research, for the industrial and socio-economic development of India. The business education we will give you will be up-to-date and the inputs delivered by faculty who have both industry and academic experience. I am confident that your passage through this university will be one which will prepare you for a life filled with productivity and social usefulness.

I loved all the activities that we did as part of the summer school, the scenic beauties, knowing about German history through monuments, palaces, all these were wonderful. I wanted to convey a huge thank you to the International Office for providing me this opportunity to travel to Germany and spend the best six weeks of my life. Miss Those Days!”
