What is the programme like?

Classes are in person on campus on alternate weekends, Saturday and Sunday, so you can keep working. The course runs for 24 months, and a large part of it is hands-on: you complete three field capstone projects where you apply what you’ve learned to a real business problem. The programme also includes an international immersion trip. Past batches spent 10 days at IESEG School of Management in France.

The department has put up a sample question paper and a brochure on the programme page. Look at the sample paper before the aptitude test. A few seats are kept for company-sponsored candidates, who need a sponsorship letter in the department’s format.
