THE Ahmedabad and Kolkata campuses of the Indian Institute of Management would launch a new one-year programme in management this year. While the Ahmedabad campus would start the programme in April, the Kolkata campus would begin it in December. Designed for managers who aspire leadership positions in global organisations, the programme would be offered as a full-time residential course. The Kolkata campus has 40 seats in 2006, going up to 120 in the next three years, while the Ahmedabad campus has 70 seats in the 2006 batch.
Speaking on the objective of launching the programme, the Kolkata campus Director, Mr Shekhar Chaudhuri, said, "The course is being launched with the aim of advancing the theory and practice of management and also to create ethical future leaders of international organisations."
On the relevance of the new course, he said that as businesses became increasingly international, there were cross-cultural and global logistics issues, among others, which this course would address.
The eligibility criteria for admission include a graduate degree, minimum five years of post-qualification work experience and a valid GMAT score. However, working record and feedback of the past employers of the aspirant would also be considered, said Mr Chaudhuri.
IIM, Kolkata would also be increasing its number of seats in the two-year post-graduate diploma course in business management to 400 from 270 in the next two to three years, he said.
