EPGP Program

The one-year residential program, according to IIMB, is created specifically for professionals with remarkable track records and 5 to 12 years of work experience in a wide range of industries. It provides students with the same solid foundation in key management concepts and disciplines as a two-year MBA, with similar rigour, range of electives, and grading criteria.  A key advantage of the EPGP is that the course work builds on the diverse and extensive work experience of the students.

The program also aims to fulfil the increasing need of business houses for skilled mid-level and senior executives with the vision and potential to attain top leadership positions. While deep functional and operational expertise is a prerequisite for such executives, their success is also contingent on their ability to perceive and analyze a situation from multiple perspectives and take timely and effective action.

 The total fee of this course is Rs 25,89,000 (incl. shared accommodation) and Rs 27,24,500 (incl. family accommodation)

IIMB says the program has innovative content and students also stand to benefit from an international immersion and a series of seminars​.
