Unique aspects of UBS


Universal Business School, a place which has truly transformed my life. I have learnt many skills and the most important one is how to keep calm and handle difficult situations as well as people whom you don’t  like.

The differentiating factor of UBS is that students are provided with ample number of opportunities which focus on building one's brand value. These opportunities include consulting projects which help students to gain in depth knowledge and understand the culture of an organization, CSR activity which helps a student to stay grounded and identify opportunities/requirements of society.

At UBS, students also get an opportunity to collaborate with experienced faculties, 
write research papers and publish it. Such opportunities help UBS students to differentiate themselves from the MBAs.

There are many clubs at UBS which conduct events on a regular basis and active participation of students make it a big success. These events are organized by club members under the guidance of the mentors. It helps to learn managerial skills, leadership skills.

It was all worth it!

Akash Tyagi

It has been 7 months that we have joined UBS. And It has been worth taking admission in UBS for my MBA because after coming here, I am a changed person, professional and human being. I have improved my presentation skills, my Communication and English-speaking skills also. 

UBS provides its students a platform where one can not only develop knowledge but also polish overall personality. I personally have developed myself to a level that I am the marketing head of Arts and Culture club. This all was possible through the guidance, dedication and help of the esteemed faculty at UBS. I will ever be indebted to all of them. Our club is something which performs activity related to the different culture of India by which we are giving a platform to all other communities to come up and show case their talent.

It has been a life changing experience for me as this is my first experience towards independent life and i must say it was all worth it!

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams!


It's a dream blended into reality for me to have been associated with a family like UBS. I could not ask for more from Him when all you have been bestowed with is just unconditional love from the faculty and friends. The two sublime years of my life just passed by in the blink of an eye! It just seems like yesterday when UBS welcomed me with wide open arms offering me umpteen opportunities to escalate high in life. It has been a paradigm shift when I look at myself in the mirror today. There is no denying the fact the amount of immersive learning i've had in this wondrous atmosphere. UBS to me is a place of light, liberty and immense learning. 
The clubs at UBS are no less than a nourishing mother that feeds its baby to quench its thirst for more. My perseverance, passion and commitment to work for my Alma Mater has quadrupled under the august leadership of Tarun Sir. Being a fountainhead of ideas, he has always instilled in me an urge to forge ahead with a zeal to outshine in all my endeavours. 
Shilpi Mondal 
I would take the opportunity to laud my General Well-Being Club for their religious efforts towards improving the quality of food and hygiene on campus. Many thanks to my team for entrusting me with the designation of the President which further kept me on my toes. 
The faculty at UBS is a blend of international and national repute right from MNCs like GE, Johnson and Johnson, Thomson Reuters, to name a few. Some of them have had a prior educational stint at SP Jain, SIBM-P, IIM-C, IIM-A and JBIMS. What differentiates UBS from other colleges is its industry oriented curriculum taught by industry experts for the industrial success. This year with the introduction of subjects like Green Marketing, Green Finance, WTS and MOS, we are raising our bar a level up. Kudos to the exceptional faculty at UBS!!
If I were to sum up my experience with my "second home", i feel i've come out more matured, confident and responsible as a person. All thanks to the many mentor-mentee sessions, faculty guidance, various club activities and symposiums which gives students an opportunity to perform well--and emerge triumphant in the cut-throat competition of the 21st Century.
Moral: The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. I'm glad that I did dare to dream!! A reality now that i pass out from UBS with the memorabilia of a lifetime. 

Thank you UBS!!

You do what you learn and learn what you do!



Universal Business School has provided with ample opportunities to the students to learn by getting a hands-on experience. The differentiating factor of UBS is that the students have an opportunity to do a consulting project which is quite unheard of in any b-school.

Kalapi Dutta
VP - ELC
At the campus students even work on sustainability projects like organic farming, rainwater harvesting, solar projects. Students also stand a chance to write a research paper co-authored by a faculty. All these helps a student at UBS to differentiate themselves from the crowd of MBAs.

There are many clubs at UBS which regularly conducts events and there is active participation by the students. As the Vice President of Indoor Sports Club, I can proudly say that conducting events of the club has helped me develop my managerial skills which will later help in the corporate world. These clubs are a great platform through which we learn to be a team player and develop leadership skills.

Living in a residential campus when you become your own responsibility, you learn to survive and prepare yourself for what is waiting there outside those campus doors.

Worst Advice Ever Given to Business School Applicants!


IF YOU'RE READING THIS, chances are that you've at least considered applying to Business School and have probably realized that the process is a little more complex than you had originally thought. Naturally, many people will seek advice from a counsellor, friend, family member or any other source they come across. 
While getting some help is generally a good idea, the Business school admission process is far from simple and is ever evolving. Someone who hasn't been in the field for a while, like your Dad/Uncle/Mom who graduated from Business school 25 years ago, or isn't making an effort to stay up to date with all of the developments, such as a school adviser whose job description isn't specifically focused on Business schools, might provide you with some bad advice.
Here is some of the inaccurate – if not downright awful – advice that applicants say they've received.

There's no risk in retaking the CAT/GMAT/XAT. 
You know how even a broken clock is right twice a day? Well, that's the case here. While it is true that some schools will even take only the highest or most recent score, the vast majority of schools will use a vague, noncommittal guideline like, "We use a holistic approach when considering applications along with test scores."
Most of the B-Schools including IIM’s are shortlisting candidates based on 360-degree profile analysis along with CAT score. There are fair chances that 98 percentile candidate will miss the call and 91 percentile get the call from IIM’s.
The implications of taking wrong advice here cannot be understated. The decision to retake the CAT/GMAT etc. involves a lot of factors, from practice test scores to timing and price, opportunity cost and basing those on a wrong assumption could lead to disastrous consequences, hurting your chances instead of helping them.

Schools barely read the personal statement/Achievements/Extra-curricular Activities  it's all about the scores. 
Let's not sugar coat it: Grades matters a lot. If your grades fall well outside a school's typical range, admissions officials may not even consider your application. 
However, it's dead wrong to assume that because you have a 9.0 GPA and a 95 pertentile-plus CAT score, you're guaranteed a spot somewhere.
Business schools today looking for diversity in class ranging from geographic/Demographic/Experience/Sports/Culture etc. Admissions officials will read your personal statement, and more importantly, will read between the lines to spot attributes like laziness or lack of motivation. Your grades may get you through the door, but your profile and personal statement is what will seal the deal.
An applicant who has great scores, all well within the range for the target business schools, could still find it difficult to get in. Bad personal statements – full of half sentences, making no connection between paragraphs, conveying nothing about why you want to go to business school – can keep you out no matter how strong your scores are.

You don't need to prepare for Business school interviews. 
Don't mistake the laid-back vibe, because the main purpose of Interview is still to decide whether you're the type of student the school wants to join its student body. In today Era, its more of Student recruitment process rather than selection process. While recruitment is 2-way process selection is more of 1-way process.
If you show up unprepared – have no questions about the schools, unable to answer simple questions like "why this school" or clearly have no idea of some of the school's strengths or programs – it will become evident, and quickly. And while it's rare for a fringe candidate to break through thanks to the interview, many applicants have been denied admission because of interview mistakes. 
Treat the Business school interview just like an interview for the job of your dreams.

There's only one path into Business school. 
People subscribe to the idea of there being a certain type of Business Management student. This person is often a Commerce or Science major background. But the last thing business schools want is a cookie-cutter student body. 
There have been instances in which business schools take Liberal arts students, Design graduates, Hotel Management, Sports Champions, members of rock bands and generally people who have done nothing to prepare for their business school application in the traditional sense because they didn't decide to apply until their senior year. 
Take any sweeping statements about applying to business school with a grain of salt. People telling you, you'll never get in likely don't know much about the process. Do some research so you can synthesize facts from different sources and decide for yourself what is more likely to be true. 

“Leaning on others is fine, but trusting them blindly could come back to haunt you”.

Overwhelming Journey at UBS

Universal Business School Campus - Karjat
The lush green business school has been the best decision of my life. From the start, till date it has been nothing but spectacular. Every lecture to every memory, made my life better than before. The knowledge shared, the memories made are the reasons I keep rooting for my college, UBS. The induction curriculum that took place in the first week is hectic for sure but it is the main game changer for me. Taught me lessons for life. There was no turning back after that. All the classes, the guest lectures, the events conducted by different clubs keeps us tied to the ground and busy every day and night. The one on one sessions with the mentors helped me to have a constant check on myself. I have been appointed as the president of the club I work for i.e. Arts and culture club. This is a privilege and another turning point of my life. Students here are from different parts of India with different cultures and traditions. This scenario here gave me a look into a wider world and gave me the best people as friends. After UBS , I know for sure that I will be able to face the competitive world out there with ease.

UBS - Transforming Lives in True Sense

Arpit Gupta
Campus Reporter
Digital Head (Arts & Culture Club)

It’s been seven months in the campus and the journey is not less than a roller-coaster ride. Since the induction week followed by our routine lectures, it’s all been an informative and euphoric journey. Being a normal student of UBS and getting a post of Campus Reporter and Digital Head in Arts and Culture Club is all one desires for at this stage of life. 

UBS not only helped me to acquire theoretical management skills but as its motto says ‘Experiential Learning’ it truly sticks to that by conducting endeavours that helps to derive the actual scenarios of the VUCA world. The professors not only help to gain management knowledge but also share their valuable experience in the corporate world that is cherry on the cake for students to gain insights about the business world. 

Through various club events UBS helps the students to work on their skills of team building, project management, critical analysis, leadership traits and various others managerial skills. The session of Mentor-Mentee on every Tuesday helps to groom ourselves, hone our skills and keep track record of our career path.

Investing in UBS is one of my best decision of my life as it is a place where you can dream big and your dream comes true!

Sir Gurdip Singh Anand – A Man of Emotional Intelligence & Exceptional Leadership



Before coming to Universal Business School, I had to pass three rounds of Skype and telephonic interview to get admission in India’s first green B-School which is endorsed by 60 CEOs. I still remember that my final round of interview lasted almost one and half hour and was taken by the Chairman himself,the great mentor Sir Gurdip Singh Anand. That evening was the turning point of my life and I was absolutely overwhelmed by the lessons he had given me on that very day. He wanted to speak with my parents at the same time, I was curious and thought that I would meet and ask him about his impression but ………Alas!!!
Late Sir Gurdip Singh Anand
Founder Chairman - Universal Business School

I regret that I never got the opportunity to meet him after coming to the campus due to his ill health since as he was severe health issues. Now that he is no more yet I will not prefix “late” in to his name because few people are immortal for their deeds. Whether we get the opportunity to meet them or not, it doesn’t matter, they were, they are and they will be exceptional always. Our beloved Gurdip Sir is unprecedented in every aspect, be it his early professional life, be it the creation of our Alma Mater Universal Business School.

He was self-aware, self-regulated, optimistic, ever ready to embrace challenges and adapt according to the requirements. He was extremely disciplined, well-mannered and empathetic towards everyone. He always believed that UBS is a large family and the entire staff as well as students are its family members. He was a perfectionist and wanted to take UBS to the highest level of perfection. He stayed on campus with his family which proves his responsibility and accountability.

Even the security guards on campus have marvellous impression of him. In their words, he was a very humble soul. He, himself indulged in the “Clean UBS” campaign and was a mastermind who tried to expand UBS to its highest level of success. The newly built Girls’ hostel in which we are dwelling currently, the Library, the 160 seater in which we conduct our classes; all are the brain-child of this extra ordinary man with exceptional qualities. Not only the infrastructure, he has left behind the legacy of world-class experiential learning for the UBSians.

Once it such happened that he suggested me to go through few books of Robin Sharma, Kishore Biyani, Sam Walton and Stephen Covey. He also suggested to describe English alphabets. At the outset, I was surprised at this question but later on I realized that his intention of making me learn the mantras of achieving a successful life as a management student through “Accept failure” , “Be bold to recover yourself” , “Change yourself if it is highly required” , “Dare to do an exceptional task” , “Encourage yourself that you can” , “Fail till you reach success” , “Gain positive vibes from failures” , “Hide your weakness in front of others” , “Imagine yourself as a leader” , “Join good companionship” , “Kind to others” , “Lie can damage your career” , “Manage yourself” , “Network building factors” , “Optimism fetches win” , “Perfect in your work” , “Quiet and calm to achieve success” , “Rely on your capabilities” , “Struggle to reach your goals” , “Time management matters” , “Unity in your organization” , “Value yourself and others” , “Watch each and every minute things” , “Xenial in your community” , “Zeal yourself, don’t jeal of others”.

Though it saddens me to think that I missed the chance to meet this super-influential person yet I think I am quite lucky that I had a conversation with the  great leader, the superman with highest level of integrity and emotional intelligence, the man of commitment. May be ,we have lost his body but his soul is still with us, he is with us and he will always be there with us as our Friend, Philosopher and Guide to take us in the right direction with his intense vision and mission. This is my tribute towards my “GURU” and we, as UBSians, should be more responsible and accountable to carry forward his dream and to move the baton to take UBS to the epitome of success.

UBS thrives!


Universal Business School or as we proudly like to call it the UBS is not only a Business school standing strong amidst the Karjat valley but is also our home. The business school offers a varied range of clubs, courses and curriculum or the 3Cs which not only suits our personal but also our professional interests. The outbound activities, presentations and the practical approach to academics have transformed us into confident managers with a practical approach to the industry. The presentations and platforms such as Indian Economic Review sessions have built our confidence to an extent that even if we are required to address a crowd of a 1000 people, it is definitely gonna be a cakewalk for us. The college has helped us broaden our horizon and provided us with a vision to think both outside and inside the box.

UIC (UBS Innovation Club) is a club built on the vision to empower students by constructive transformation. It creates platforms to enable students to generate, brainstorm and implement innovative ideas to develop an entrepreneurial mind-set.

UIC platforms like Trending, Case Blazer, Speaker of the Year help students develop required academic skills and professional skills. Projects like MBA Playbook help students in the preparation for placement interviews. Skill-pits is a platform where the talented students in a specific domain, get a chance to share their knowledge with the rest of the UBSians to help them become better learners.

Being the President of the club gave me an opportunity to develop my leadership skills, analytical and decision-making skills. UIC’s project management approach made me realize that a great idea, if not executed properly or within the time limit is of no value.
UIC Rocks, UBS Thrives!

The Quintessence of Digital Marketing


“Digital Marketing creates and requires data. But just having data isn’t going to change anything. Data must be accurate and have context to be actionable.”

We, as UBS Students feel privileged to have anticipated in the Digital Marketing workshop which was conducted in the month of October. As a management student, one must have sufficient knowledge about backlinks and analytics, and was something which we did learn efficiently well in that tenure. There has been widespread growth of Digital Marketing across the globe, and this is also considered as an integral pedagogy in many business courses. Paving its importance in many marketing lessons, Digital Marketing has its practical applications in many fields as well. Whether it is about designing a market plan for a company or a brand, or simply creating an advertising campaign, Digital Marketing plays a vital role.

As undergrad students of Universal Business School, we personally feel enough obliged of getting such a magnificent opportunity and which is helping us in applying it in other sub-academic disciplines. Although, I have decided of taking Marketing as my specialization, and I don’t think that this would have gotten any simpler if this workshop hadn’t come. The workshop was excellently organized and delivered with utmost precision. Those three days were quite significant for us as we encountered ourselves with a plethora of marketing strategies. Some of them include Blog Designing, Backlinks, and Google Analytics. The importance of Blog Making has made management students revel further in many business and start-up ideas. Although, Blog Making can be as interesting as it might seem from outside when related to promotion or expressing views about any product or organization.

Makrand Sulay

Taking BlogSpot as an example, we did make individual free blogs, designed them with great creative vision, and learned how to generate money out of them. Later, we had a session on Backlinks and Google Analytics, so one could learn in making their blogs and posts famous on the internet. There are various tools and techniques when learning about Analytics, and we are sure to have capitalized on that perfectly well.
Personally, I was benefitted through these sessions because of the skills that we learnt in them. I was working on a start-up that required high focus on the digital marketing aspect. The start-up was related to tourism industry, and required a high focus and generating traffic on the website that I designed along with my partners. As the industry has got a cut-throat competition, it is very important to generate views on the website, as it will be our primary source of generating income and revenue. The payment and other main marketing functions will also be handled by means of Digital Marketing tools and other online platforms like “e-mail marketing”, “SEO’s” which we were taught to us during the sessions.  

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude towards Mayur Sir who wholeheartedly conducted this important session on “Digital Marketing”, and shared his inciteful words and knowledge with us. Secondly, we would like thank the Digital Marketing Club and Finally, Universal Business School for these sessions.

The learning from Indoor Sports Club!

When it comes to MBA, there are variety of business schools in India but Universal Business School is one of its kind. UBS is a truly global business school having collaboration with multiple leading universities across the world namely Cardiff Metropolitan University, University of Economics Bulgaria, Swish School of Management e.t.c. It is endorsed by 60 CEOs and focuses on experiential learning. The faculty in UBS carries a vast experience of industry and the teaching methodology here varies tremendously from the other B Schools as every year the syllabus gets revised according to the demand of the industry. It is specially taken care that 80% of the learning is practical learning. This help the students to know the big picture of the industry before going to the industry.
UBS consists of total 11 clubs such as: UBS Innovation Club, Indoor Sports Club, Finance Club, Marketing Club, HR & CSR Club, Tech Ops, International Club etc.
“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and loose and most importantly it teaches you about life.” – Billie Jean King
“Sports build good habits, confidence and discipline. They make players into community leaders and teach them how to strive for a goal, handle mistakes and cherish growth opportunities.” – Julie Foudy
Being a sports loving person, I always wanted to join Indoor Sports Club and I am fortunate that by seeing my calibre, the club has given me an opportunity to prove myself. It organises all sorts of indoor sport events such as Box Cricket League, Intra College Badminton Championship, Full Night Pool Night, Quadrangular, Run 4 Fun, The Biggest Looser etc. This club gave me a lot of things, such as:
1. A Mentor who is Always There for Me to Help You in Difficult Situations
2. A Family Away from Home
3. A Team that Works Day & Night for Making the Event Success
During my tenure in this club, the learning curve always went up. I have learnt a lot by working in Indoor Sports Club. My key learnings are:
1. Leaving behind the ego while working in the team.
2. Taking Leadership initiatives.
3. Treating everybody in the team equally.
4. Making strategies for organising the events.
5. Marketing for the events.
6. Managing Budgets.
7. Taking ownership of the work.
8. Handling pressure situations
9. Creating future leaders who can carry the legacy of the club ahead.
Experience, dedication and creativity are the key determinants for success and Indoor Sports Club is the live example of that. When it comes to generating revenue, at that time ISC shows its power. It not only manages its events and club expenses through the revenue but also gives back to UBS in the form of maintaining the Indoor Sports as well as gym area. ISC is the top rated club of UBS, its events are blockbuster and its team is well organised. ISC runs on performance based model and believes in creating leaders for future hence it gives opportunity to each and every team member who has the potential to grow.
ISC will always be close to my heart and my experience in working with ISC will always help me in future.

Opportunity comes to those who dare to attack.....!


Born in Rajasthan and brought up in Kolkata, he was an average student with strong passion for body building. During the mentees’ meet, he used to take more interest in body building competitions. He went and attended several of them in Pune and other places.

Few days back he walked up to me and told that he was placed. Looking at his academic background (which is average to describe the most) I was very happy and asked him to celebrate. But he looked confused and lost. He did not have confidence in the company from where he had received the offer. AVP (Placements), who had connected with the company, asked him to join without thinking much. Looking at his modest resume, I also pushed him to join the job. His father told him to give it a trial……….

Prof. Sushant Nanda
HOD - Marketing
Suddenly he walked up to my room yesterday. He looked restless and wanted to desperately share something (during the meets he never talked too much). After throwing a clinically penetrative look at him, I asked with apprehension “Is everything okay?”   “Great going Sir, thanks to Prof Vidhya Srinivas, I got a great opportunity” he said. I said “But I remember, you were complaining about the offer (and was trying to recollect the name of the company that he was selected)”.

“No sir, they actually offered me much more”.  This was something unusual to hear. I looked at him eagerly to hear more.   “And “he continued….. “ During the selection process they had announced the fixed CTC @ 4 lacs +  incentives. But once I joined, they asked me if I was open for the international marketing cell, where they had a vacancy. They also assured me to train me there and I agreed”.   “It sounds interesting, please continue”, I said.

“The moment I gave my nod, they confirmed my appointment letter with 5 lakhs fixed CTC. Besides they give me meals and beverages services on the house. I am going to travel overseas soon after my training and currently applying for my passport for the same”. He continued in one breath and would have loved to go on.
