"ONE-YEAR FULL-TIME MASTER’S PROGRAM IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT FOR WORKING EXECUTIVES"

This one-year full-time Executive MBA Program is specifically designed for working executives and practicing managers, who are aspiring to become business leaders of tomorrow. This Program provides an excellent opportunity for professionals, with the potential to assume senior management responsibilities, to pursue a Postgraduate Program in Management, without interrupting the current professional career.

 

The participants shall be from various parts of the country and they shall share a spectacular diversity in their respective academic and industry background, which shall provide an exciting prospect for learning from one another, and to assimilate the theoretical concepts taught in the light of their collective experience.

 

The one-year full-time Program curriculum is structured similar to, and is as rigorous as, the regular two-year full time MBA Program. There will be four Terms spread over 12 months. Working professionals are encouraged to take one year leave /sabbatical / lien from their current organisations and return to the same organisation after completing the program and obtaining the Executive MBA Degree.

 

The Program is intended to develop among the participants a generalised perspective of integrated cross-functional responsibilities, and specialised technical and managerial skills. Such skills and expertise are necessary to assume middle and top management responsibilities. Academic inputs provided during the Program shall bring out the interrelationship among various functional areas as well as familiarise the participants in the techniques in functional areas including those in which the participant may have experience. The participants shall also get trained in technical and functional skills such as communication, accounting, finance, marketing, and operations and shall be helped to develop their analytical and integrative skills so that they can define complex problems with clarity and adopt a methodology best suited to deal with them.

 

The Institute encourages organizational/ institutional sponsorship for the participants to pursue this Program and appreciates a commitment from the organisation’s part to defray the expenses incurred by their executives on education and training. Full or partial sponsorship minimises the financial liability of the participant to pursue the Program.
