THE EDIT PAD

Preceding six months have been as eventful as always in CBS. We have grown to faculty strength of 19 with varied

competencies and expertise. Initiatives of the faculty and students have resulted into the MMA students chapter, To cap it all Hindu

Business Line Club had chosen us as the venue for launching their current year activities across Tamil Nadu. Sri. N. Ram Editor in

chief of Hindu along with few many captains of industry, like Sri Lakshmi Narayanan, Charman of CTS addressed the students by

sharing their experiences.

As a part of the silver jubilee celebrations of our university CBS organized an exhibition which was visited by large number of public

and dignitaries. The show was rated as one among the best by Mr. Ahmed Buhari who along with other family members actively

participated in various games organized by HR club.

Research along with teaching and extension work forms the corner stones of CBS, which is reflected in our various initiatives of

institution building. In the light of that CBS is in the process of bringing out an international research journal Crescent Journal ofBusiness with an International Advisory Board. In the placement area our methodical and sustained activities had seen good

corporates like HDFC, CTS, recruiting our students.

Hope your support continues like it always has.
