The St Xavier's University today started an MBA course under its Xavier's Business School with 80 students.
The residential MBA course is being offered in four streams, University Vice-Chancellor Father Felix Raj told reporters here.
"From today we are offering the MBA course which will be for two years and today is the first day," Raj said adding that the university has got the approval of the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) to run the course.
He said industrialist Sanjiv Goenka, an alumnus of the St Xavier's College and School, has been associated with the project.
Goenka said "It is very inspirational for me to come and interact with these youngsters on the first day."
Raj also said the university was planning to start a law course in a couple of years.
