Gurukul Vidyapeeth and Elements Akademia, Chandigarh, are setting up GVBS, a management school at Mohali, to offer education at par with that at the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs).
Gurukul will be offering 60 seats each for MBA and PGDM programmes. It has been working with various B-schools in Punjab for 20 years.
Elements Akademia was started by 17 IIM alumni who will manage the operations. In the past two years, the institute has signed up 192 alumni from the IIMs and 42 companies that recruited maximum students from the institute.
Nishant Saxena, Founder CEO of Elements Akademia, said, "We need to create the culture of a great B-school where students work all day and study, develop their personality, interact with industry leaders and participate in extra-curricular activities. Our faculty, drawn from the best of B-schools, ensures just that."
C.A. Manmohan Garg, Founder CEO of Gurukul Vidyapeeth said, “I wanted my students to get exposure to the best curriculum, teaching and placements. Hence the partnership with Elements Akademia. This is a great idea and will benefit the students immensely.”
The institute will also have a tie-up with a Singapore-based university so that the students get foreign exposure too.

All the ingredients such as high end faculty, tie up with IIM alumni for placements etc. somehow indicate another business venture where the thrust will be on attracting the rich ( may be a 10% free seats to involve charity) Why don't these guys open a b- school in a small town where bright students do not get the option of a good education?
