Messages from Deans
To a student adding new knowledge to the existing pool of knowledge is very important. Contemporary academic disciplines consider research skills to be an essential skill since knowledge domains change rapidly, making one's knowledge obsolete if one does not adapt to the habit of gathering new knowledge. Research skills in undergraduates help them to be competitive and survive in academia as well as in industry.
Hands on experience in research and research methodology have been successfully integrated to the undergraduate and postgraduate curricula to inculcate research skills in students. Success with this integration has been evidenced on many occasions with SLIIT winning numerous accolades like Microsoft Imagine cup, the Asia pacific ICT alliance award, and the national best quality software award many times in the recent past. In addition, both undergraduate and postgraduate students have published and presented research papers in many local and foreign research forums.
SLIIT thrives to be the best academic institution to impart research skills in graduates for a
remarkable learning experience.

The BBA Special Honours Degree programme SLIIT is of 4 years,
duration with two semesters per year. Four to five courses are
conducted during a semester carrying a total of 16-20 credits.
A course carries 3 credits when it involves 3 student contact hours
each week, or 4 credits when it involves 4 - 4½ student contact
hours each week, for a semester.
The design of the degree programme allows a student to earn:
-
after
successful completion of the first year.
-
after successful
completion of two years.
-
after
successful completion of three years.
Graduate with a
An Associate Diploma in Business Management

with a specialization in one of
the following specializations:
Human Capital Management, Accounting and Finance,
Quality Management, Marketing Management ,
Management Information Systems.
Candidates who exit each programme after successfully completing different levels can re-join after a spell of employment or training in industry, or leave of absence, at the appropriate level, subject to necessary registration procedure and approval by SLIIT.
Rules relating to the advance from one stage to the other will be as determined by SLIIT .
Completion of the Associate Diploma level, apart from developing requisite communication skills, will also enable the student to gain an overall conceptual grasp of the theoretical academic content, thus forming a solid base on which to develop an understanding of the advanced modules presented in later years. The Diploma level covers a broader range of theory, equipping the student with the knowledge and skills necessary to work in industry at a junior executive or technician
The advanced inputs provided in the third year will make the Advanced Diploma the student qualifies for, the equivalent of a General Degree. It is on this solid foundation that a student will commence the fourth year of specialized study for completion of the BBA Special Honours Degree. This allows a student to concentrate on one specialized area of study from among the five currently available; ensuring that at graduation, the student has acquired a
comprehensive range of analytical, creative, quantitative and communication skills along with a holistic view of organizations. It will certainly enable them to arrive at sound decisions when grappling with real world challenges that face modern business enterprises.
The BBA Special Honours Degree is awarded by SLIIT as approved by the University Grants Commission under the Universities Act.

Modern business management calls for a multi disciplinary approach. The Special Honours Degree spread over four years and will enable students to gain a thorough knowledge in all related disciplines. The student is expected to undergo six months of on-the-job training within a scheduled period prior to completion of the degree programme.
Moreover, the programme will allow for concentration on one of five distinct specializations in accordance with their preferences and abilities, as below:
The Degree Programme specializing in Human Capital Management (HCM) covers the theoretical foundation of HCM whilst providing a sound appreciation of other related business disciplines. The programme will further provide students with the knowledge, skills and social awareness necessary to manage people, whether nationally, or internationally.
As the name implies, people need to be viewed not just as a resource, but rather, as a capital asset available to an organization. From this point of view, therefore, managing people is concerned with much more than just personnel, or human resources management. It is therefore more concerned with development, retention and motivation, building teams, and getting them to work towards a common objective. That there is a growing awareness of the importance of the function by businesses both large and small is evidenced by the increasingly competitive levels of pay offered to HCM professionals.Moreover, availability of HCM positions continues to grow in tandem with international expansion of
business. Our graduates can therefore look forward to excellent career prospects.
Knowledge of Accounting and Finance is essential for the sound management of a business. A sound grasp of
fundamentals is required to keep pace with the rapid changes and increasing complexity of modern business; especially true for the Accounting and Finance disciplines. Building on the strong foundation established by the first three years of study, the Special Degree Programme allows the student to acquire an in-depth knowledge required by an expert in Finance and Accounting.
Moreover, electives that are available in the final year allow a student an avenue for further specialization in a selected field.
As competition intensifies, marketers have come to realize that marketing only their products and services no longer suffices, and that they also need to market their respective organizations; a more holistic concept by far.
The programme will enable the student to gain an entirely new perspective; viewing the organization and its offers from the point of view of a customer.
Starting with the universally applicable fundamentals, the special programme will provide the student an in-depth knowledge of the art and science of marketing as is practised in today's competitive business environment.

Degree and Diploma Programmes
As globalization continues apace, traditional methods of managing a business are no longer adequate. Enhanced competition compels on-going improvement of all aspects of an organization. A quality philosophy based on continuous improvement is mandated. Only then could an organization thrive in the long term.
While providing the theoretical knowledge base required, the Degree Programme specializing in Quality Management builds on this solid foundation through a comprehensive input ranging from statistical analysis, and other Japanese inspired techniques to total quality management, within both service and manufacturing related industries. Practical inputs such as quality auditing, ISO certification and Six Sigma are also covered, thus providing the student with an all-embracing grasp of the subject.
Rapid development of Information Technology has enabled the development of more efficient and effective management techniques. Building on business management inputs, the MIS specialization allows the students to gain up-to-date
knowledge on the theoretical and practical aspects of using, developing, and managing information systems within organizations.
As organizations become ever more dependent on information technology, which itself is improving at a rapid pace,
organizations will increasingly need managers with a sound grasp of the complexities and potentialities inherent within the discipline. There is no doubt that future managers will need more than a nodding acquaintance with IT; exactly what the programme is designed to provide.
