PSB plans Rs 50 crore campus in Noida

Gurgaon-based Pearl School of Business (PSB) is planning to set up a new campus at Knowledge Park, Greater Noida. The institute has already bought five-acre land at the proposed new location.

IM Pandey, director, PSB, said: “Currently, PSB functions as a full-fledged campus at Gurgaon and we intend to create a capacity of 500 students at the new campus. This will start functioning in 2-3 years. The proposed investment for the campus spread over 5 acres is Rs 50 crore.”

The institute’s current campus has a built up area of 48,000 square ft. The institute launched a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA), the first-ever doctoral-level programme in business administration, earlier this year, in association with the Asian Institute of Technology’s (AIT's) School of Management.

“The programme is a higher degree in business administration, equivalent to a PhD. The programme has been designed keeping in mind the senior executives. With the research competencies, one can turn the experience into useful knowledge of business and management that has direct relevance to business challenges in the emerging economies,” Pandey added.
