Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, July 1: IIM Jammu has launched its two-year Executive MBA program (blended mode) for working professionals.
The program is highly useful to the participants who were unable to complete their Master’s program and are now eagerly interested to complete their MBAs without leaving their professions. Working executives from Industry, Corporates, Government organizations, Armed/Paramilitary forces, NGOs, and entrepreneurs with a minimum work experience of three years are eligible to apply.
The program would be blending with on-campus and online learning modules spread over six terms in two years. The first year focuses on the foundation courses and the second year will have the advanced courses. In each of the program trimesters, the participants will have one week of campus visits to discuss and experience the classroom learning module, and the rest of the module will be completed in online mode.
During launch of the Executive MBA program, Prof B S Sahay, Director, IIM Jammu said: “Rapidly emerging Indian economy is making its way to become Atma Nirbhar in the near future by embracing the updated versions of technology. This is making transformational shifts in the existing working patterns of the business houses. Further, due to the global disruptions, the business professionals have to reinvent and adapt to the changing circumstances in order to prove their relevance. IIM Jammu’s EMBA aims at this.”
One of the key characteristics of the program is its exposure to global/rural environments through its one-week immersion program, which will take place after the successful completion of the first year of E-MBA. The global immersion will expose the participants to the unique learning methods followed by the international partners of IIM Jammu, whereas the rural immersion will be immersing the participants with the knowledge and working cultures of rural India.
