Studying at IIM is the dream of every student or executive who wants to build a career in the field of management. However, under certain circumstances, many of the interested individuals do not get the chance of getting enrolled in the IIMs either due to high cut-offs or due to their jobs. This situation has not been hidden by the institutions as well. So, to make these highly esteemed management courses available to everyone, IIMs have introduced Online MBAs in the name of “Executive MBA (EMBA)” and Online Certification Courses that can be opted for by working executives or professionals.

These online courses offered by IIMs equip candidates with the required skills & knowledge that are needed to survive the competitive environment of the industry. These courses are not only designed for working executives, but business heads and entrepreneurs can also take IIM online courses to become effective leaders in the organization.

The two major categories introduced by these management schools in online programs are executive MBA programs that can be completed in 1-2 years and certificate courses that can be covered in a much shorter period. Some of the EMBA courses have an admission process similar to those of the regular MBA programs, i.e., through entrance exams like CAT, MAT, GMAT, or IIM-specific entrance exams. On the other hand, certification courses can be taken up directly by aspiring candidates on the basis of prior experience.
