BRAOU-Apollo initiative

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU) will be offering a “unique” programme, MBA in Health Care Management in collaboration with Apollo Hospitals Education and Research Foundation (AHERF) from this academic year.

Unlike other BRAOU programmes that are offered through distance mode, the MBA in health care management would be conducted ‘on-campus’.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to this effect was signed between BRAOU Registrar Prof. B. Sunder Rao and vice-president of AHERF Dr. V. Surender Reddy at the university recently. BRAOU Vice-Chancellor Prof. O.R. Reddy, faculty of various departments and officials of Apollo hospitals group were present.

The admission would be through an entrance examination followed by a group discussion and personal interview to be conducted by the university.

The Vice-Chancellor said the university now turned its attention to offer programmes aimed at helping medical and non-medical graduates enrich their knowledge.

The MBA (Health Care Management) allows both medical and non-medical graduates with at least 50 per cent marks eligible to apply for the programme.
