SHANTI BUSINESS SCHOOL

Introduction
SBS Management Clubs
To inculcate the habit of organizing and managing the professional events directly by our
students, SBS has constituted a number of clubs which are entirely managed by our students
under the professional guidance of one of the faculty members of the institute designated for
each club. Thus they provide institutional units- Of the Students, By the Students, and For the
Students.
Each club aims at going beyond the classroom learning, promoting the creative bent and
inventive thinking. They decide to conduct events bearing on every functional area of
management such as Invited Lecturers, Role Plays, Debates, Quizzes, Cultural and Publishing,
Sports activities and Management Competitions such as the Ad-Mad, Brand War, etc in every
semester. These activities encourage them not only to learn to manage things on their own but
also supplement their professional development in understanding the subjects involved with
better clarity. The clubs provide a forum to our students to express their multidimensional skills
artistic, literary and management while studying at SBS.
We have the following Management Clubs:

Finance Club

HR Club

General Club

Marketing Club
