IIM Part Time MBA

IIM Part Time MBA is another gesture of IIMs to benefit the Indian workforce with quality management education. These courses follow a different learning format which includes campus-based weekend classes. This alteration in the learning module has benefitted millions of masses and is continuing to do so with its flexibility. 

The admission process of these special category IIM courses is similar to those followed for regular IIM MBA programs. To enroll in your choice of program, you must score well in the GMAT/ GRE/ CAT/ IIM entrance exams. After making it through the entrance test, you will be called for a personal interview (or video conference) and a Writing ability test by the institution.

Not all the IIMs have launched these courses. Out of 20 IIMs, only 7 members have come up with these flexible on-campus UGC and AICTE-approved management courses for working professionals. The names of these IIMs include IIM Bangalore, IIM Indore, IIM Kozhikode, IIM Lucknow, IIM Shillong, IIM Kashipur, and IIM Vishakhapatnam. Other members of the IIM family do offer programs for working professionals but in some other names like Postgraduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Executive programs in Management, etc.

Considering the need for technical training in executives, the period of these part time courses at some institutions has been set for more than that of a regular MBA course, i.e., 3 years. This longer duration sometimes makes professionals step back from taking up this course. 

Despite being designed especially for working professionals, the majority of them are not able to opt for one! The reason behind it is the screening process which is not easily crackable by all the aspirants and in some cases the longer duration. Thus, an online IIM part time MBA has also been launched to turn the dream of IIMs into reality for all!

Whether completed an online or on-campus part time MBA, you will have the same career options aligned for you as you would expect from a regular MBA program. This management degree will help you climb up the organizational ladder in terms of both designation and salary packages. You can even fulfill your dream of working at a specific MNC, with this MBA program.
