Why Executive MBA @ IITM?
- Experiential: A big chunk of your curriculum is pragmatic. You solidify your growing knowledge through three field capstone projects. Project work is “experiential”, allowing you to take what you have learnt throughout the program and apply it to examine a specific issue.
- Connections: Your peers and learning partners are an impressive and diverse lot. Every professional we admit is talented, driven, and already accomplished in his or her field. Your classmates not only enrich your academic journey, they become trusted advisors, supporters, and friends for life.
- Convenience: Alternate weekend (Saturday & Sunday) in-person classes gives you much time to absorb new knowledge and form deep bonds when you are on campus. You can balance your work and family needs and yet learn an Executive MBA degree from IIT Madras in only 24 months.
