Program Structure

Students at OCTAVE receive UGC approved MBA Degree and another degree in PGP (Post Graduate Program) in Business Leadership. The latter degree is a private one and is offered in autonomous mode. The MBA degree course is offered over four semesters. The PGP Program is split into 2 eleven months sub-programs PGP I and PGP II.

Admissions

Interested candidates have to take OCTAVE Admission Test (OAT) followed by Group Discussion (GD) /Extempore & Personal Interview (PI) round. Students who have already appeared for other competitive exams like CAT/MAT/CET/XAT/SNAP may request for exemption from OAT. It has been reported that OCTAVE gives more importance and preference to students for their performance in GD/PI than entrance exam (OAT). Admissions are based on merit basis & no reservation seats are available[citation needed]. The admission system emulates and is similar to admission system of BITS Pilani.

Infrastructure

OCTAVE's Nagpur campus is located at the outskirts of project MIHAN (Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur) at Rui, Nagpur behind Sun N Sand Hotel and is spread over 1.4 acres.
