Not for Everyone — For the Few Who Aspire Differently

Every student is unique — different aspirations, different capabilities, different passion. That is exactly why the Centre of Excellence is built around a careful selection, not a crowd.

01

Selection Beyond CGPA

From amongst all the students who select the MBA in Finance at Chitkara Business School, only a few are onboarded onto the CXOs NextGen Centre of Excellence in Finance — chosen for their life skills, values and passion, not CGPA alone.

02

Built for Global CXOs & Entrepreneurs

Here, the MBA in Finance is designed and delivered exclusively to create the CXOs & Entrepreneurs of India & the globe — not just job-seekers, but future leaders.

03

Recognised by the Industry

Because of the uniqueness of their profiles, our students are recognised directly by the industry — by CXOs and their team members who spot such talent early.

"Package matters — and CXOs NextGen Center of Excellence in Finance has made it possible. But the continuation of those packages and their growth depends on the uniqueness of your profile & networking — which matters the most."

Vision of CXOs NextGen Initiative

Normally, one would think of donating monetarily to help solve a problem — but that seldom works on the root cause. So we took on a very evident problem we all encountered during our extensive corporate exposure: students being taught with the same old theoretical curriculum, rendering them unfit for real jobs and requiring organizations to re-train them.

We countered it by designing a one-of-its-kind initiative, where programs are totally designed and delivered by very senior industry experts themselves — creating the CXOs & Entrepreneurs of tomorrow from amongst the generation of today.

About CXOs NextGen

What started as a Centre of Excellence has today taken the shape of a very large MOVEMENT. Over 3,000 senior industry leaders — from Big 4s like PwC, EY, Deloitte & KPMG; corporates like Volvo, Mahindra, Maruti, Wipro, Hero & Flipkart; investment banks like Morgan Stanley & JP Morgan; and banks like HDFC, Citi & ICICI — form a part of it.

The movement bridges the long-existent industry–academia gap by bringing in industry experts to educate, groom and handhold students for life, transforming them into job-capable professionals or entrepreneurs equipped with cutting-edge skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This is Chitkara Business School’s Center of Excellence in Finance — an integral part of Chitkara University. You remain a regular Chitkara University MBA student, with the Centre of Excellence layered on top.

Industry leaders and CXOs themselves — not just professors. The learning is deeply practical: in Year 1 you are taught hands-on in the classroom by these leaders, and in Year 2 you train and are mentored directly inside their industries.

Absolutely — the Centre is part of the University, so you stay fully eligible for Chitkara’s regular placements. But here you are carefully groomed with the skill set and forward-looking subjects to become a part of those profiles usually blessed upon CAs, CFAs, FRMs and post-graduates from top B-Schools. Beyond the usual process, the CXOs bring in unique, high-calibre profiles exclusively for Centre of Excellence students — roles you work on under their mentorship, for which students are handpicked by the CXOs themselves rather than through a conventional placement process. So you get the best of both worlds. You are classroom-mentored by the CXOs, and in the industry you are hand-held and mentored by the CXOs practically — so it is more about working with CXOs to become CXOs at an early stage.

No. There is no additional fee — being selected into the Centre of Excellence comes at no extra cost.
