The two precious years that students spend at KSOM are meant to equip them with the requisite skills and turn them into professional business executives and managers, who are adept in navigating through the challenges of the modern world. Integral to this training is personal development of students. Working their way through the several assignments, research projects, workshops, presentations and the like, students undertake a fruitful journey of self-discovery and find things about themselves they otherwise wouldn’t know. At KSOM, students are pushed to come out of their comfort zones and break walls that restrict them. The culture of openness and free thought ensures that students are free to express themselves.
Unique Mentorship Program at KSOM
In pursuance of the aim of personal development, at KSOM, each student is attached to a faculty mentor for two years to ensure academic and emotional well-being of the student.

This unique mentorship program makes the students feel comfortable and motivated throughout the course.
KONFIDANT – The Corporate Mentorship Program of KSOM
In addition to this, KSOM provides an extra edge to its students with its Corporate Mentorship Program called ‘Konfidant’. The program connects students to industry experts, who act as mentors to them.

The program is designed in a way that the interaction continues in the long-term over email, messenger and telephone, which enables the mentors to closely monitor the progress of their mentees. The program keeps the students in sync with the industry expectations and ahead of their competitors. (http://ksom.ac.in/konfidant-the-corporate-mentorship-program-of-ksom-valedictory-session/)
