The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) is set to launch the 71st cohort of its Executive General Management Programme (EGMP) in Pune, specifically tailored for working professionals in the region. This part-time programme aims to equip experienced professionals with advanced management skills, enabling them to advance into senior roles. Interested candidates must submit their applications by October 7, with classes commencing on November 4. Applications can be made through the IIM Bangalore website by searching for "EGMP Pune."

Spanning 10 months, the EGMP combines a rigorous curriculum with a flexible delivery format. Participants will benefit from a blend of in-person sessions at IIM Bangalore, local sessions in Pune, and live online classes, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience.

Targeted primarily at mid-career professionals, the programme requires a minimum of five years of industry experience for eligibility. The selection process will assess candidates based on their professional background, quality of experience, and diversity metrics. Upon successful completion, participants will be awarded IIM Bangalore Executive Education Programme (EEP) Alumni status, granting them access to a global alumni network.

Programme Objectives:

• Introduce contemporary business models and practices.
• Develop competencies in general management disciplines and skills.
• Provide guidance for advanced business strategy formulation with a global perspective.

Program Fee and Schedule: The fee for the programme is Rs 7.5 lakh + GST (as applicable) per participant, payable in three installments:

• Rs 1,00,000 + applicable GST as a confirmation fee upon acceptance.
• Rs 2,00,000 + applicable GST as the first installment upon admission.

S Parthasarathy, Chief Programme Officer of Executive Education Programmes, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "Pune is the hub for reputed manufacturing units, IT companies, GCCs, and the armed forces, but professionals in Pune do not have access to high-quality management programs from globally renowned B-Schools. This initiative from IIMB will help working executives in Pune consume a world-class program."
