The MBA Department at MSI focuses on developing dynamic, ethical, and industry-ready management professionals equipped with leadership, analytical, and problem-solving skills to meet the challenges of the global business environment.

As the world embarks on the journey of exciting possibilities with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we at MSI aim to provide students with authentic, unique and innovative learning experiences to prepare them with '21st century skills' for the jobs that may not exist yet. We teach our students to approach problems with a designer's mindset i.e. reexamine problems and test out things in practice not theory. The "Entrepreneurship Cell" (E-Cell) of the college helps in promoting this spirit by inviting successful entrepreneurs and industrialists to share their experiences with the students.

The Institute considers that its responsibility to the students is not just to develop their minds but character as well. Thus, we aim to prepare our students for effective participation and responsible citizenship in society. We believe that developing emotional intelligence, spirit of collaboration, conflict management, and empathy are equally important as the brain flourishes more in happiness and positivity. To inculcate the belief of a responsible citizen, various activities on social responsibility are organized such as blood donation drives, daan diwas, cleanliness campaigns, plantation drives etc.

To enrich student learning experience, distinct set of activities are planned for the overall personality development of the students. The activities are planned in a phased manner for ensuring quality and ensuring the capability of the students and requirements during different semesters without disturbing the academic routine. To ensure that the expectations of first year students are aligned with their experiences from the college, various activities such as motivational talks, personality grooming sessions, poster-making competitions and others are organized. To prepare the students of second year and final year for placements and higher studies, pre-placement activities, industrial visits, discussions on contemporary issues, guest lectures, and career counseling sessions are organized.
