ABBS opens admission for MBA (Entrepreneurship) 2026-27; intake capped at 60 students

Acharya Bangalore Business School (ABBS) has opened admissions for its MBA (Entrepreneurship) programme for the academic year 2026–27. The institution said the two-year course is designed to help students build and operate real ventures alongside their management studies.

Admissions for the current intake are now open, and the programme is aimed to attract aspiring founders, early-stage entrepreneurs, family business successors, and those keen on launching and scaling innovative ventures. The intake is capped at 60 students per year and candidates can apply at abbs.edu.in.

Unlike conventional MBA courses, ABBS stated that its MBA (Entrepreneurship) integrates venture creation into every semester. “Students are expected to progress from idea validation and market research to prototype development, business registration, investor pitching, and eventually managing a full-fledged enterprise before graduation,” an official press release said.

ABBS MBA: Mentorship and incubation

According to the official announcement, the ABBS MBA curriculum is built around experiential learning, strong startup ecosystem exposure, and guided mentoring by entrepreneurs. Students will receive opportunities to interact with angel investors and venture capitalists, along with institutional support covering legal, financial, and digital aspects of venture development, the press note added.

ABBS said that the programme offers dedicated mentorship, access to government-supported incubation networks, technology-enabled learning incorporating AI and digital tools, and comprehensive assistance in areas such as compliance, funding readiness, and digital strategy to support venture building.

Ajitesh Basani, executive director, ABBS, said, “Entrepreneurship today is about building real ventures that solve real-world problems.” He added that the programme seeks to create “job creators rather than job seekers,” ensuring that students graduate with both managerial expertise and operational business experience.

The programme is supported by partnerships with organisations such as KSCST, SIDBI, MSME, NSIC, FKCCI, K-Tech, TiE, and ENACTUS.
