Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kashipur is all set to start the two-year Executive Post Graduate Program in Management (EPGPM) for professionals at its Dehradun campus from September 2016.
The EPGPM classes will be held during weekends for the convenience of professionals who would be able to upgrade their management skills and capabilities without having to stay away from work as is the case with a full-time MBA.
The EPGPM would have the same rigour and application orientation as a full time program, official sources at IIM Kashipur said.
The EPGPM classes will be held during weekends for the convenience of professionals who would be able to upgrade their management skills and capabilities without having to stay away from work as is the case with a full-time MBA.
However, the EPGPM is not to be confused, despite the ‘executive’ tag, with the PGPX, the One Year full time Post-Graduate Program in Management for Executives at IIM Ahmedabad or the One Year full time Executive Post Graduate Program (EPGP) of IIM Bangalore.
The professionals in Uttarakhand state capital Dehradun would find it more convenient to attend the classes in Dehradun campus rather than undertake the 190 Km journey by road to IIM Kashipur.
Professor Dwarika Prasad Uniyal, Assistant Dean at IIM Kashipur’s Dehradun campus said the EPGPM would enable professionals to avail of the expertise of IIM Kashipur faculty during the weekend sessions.
The batch size will be small, restricted to just 30-40 participants who would get considerable industry exposure on account of the locational advantages of the state capital.
As far as eligibility of the participants is concerned, the executives joining this program must have minimum of two years of work experience after graduation.
The Institute was also seeking to select students from a diversity of background and interests and a wide range of corporations, public institutions and other professional fields.
The selection will be based on a valid GMAT/CAT score (last two years) or marks obtained in EMAT (Executive Management Aptitude Test) conducted by IIM Kashipur and the performance of the short-listed candidates in the personal interview.
Merit list will be prepared based on CAT/GMAT/EMAT Score, academic performance, work experience and personal interview.
The EPGPM application form can be downloaded from the website –http://www.iimkashipur.ac.in
Aspirants should fill required details and send a hard copy of the Application form enclosing proof of graduation, proof-of-work experience and demand draft.
The form has to be sent to IIM Kashipur by Courier/Speed post, along with a crossed demand draft of Rs.2000 favouring IIM Kashipur, payable at Kashipur.
The last date for submission of application forms will be July 31. Those intending to submit it by hand will have time till August 6 at Dehradun campus. EMAT test will be held in Dehradun on August 7 and results declared on August 10.
