Indian Institute of Management-Kozhikode (IIM-K) has opened two classroom centres in Jammu and Kashmir to offer executive post-graduate programmes.
The idea is to exponentially expand the higher education system to backward areas. Those who wish to enrol may apply by August 25, a statement issued here said.
Opening of the two centres will facilitate executives from Jammu and Kashmir to acquire formal management education from a premier institution.
Those in the Indian Army and serving in the northern State can also join the course, the release said.
Executive Post Graduate Programme of IIM-K is the flagship programme for working professionals, which is offered through in-campus classes and Interactive Learning Platform classes conducted during evenings and weekends.
The institute offers this programme with technology partner Hughes Education, Dehashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM-K, said.
Atanu Adhikari, Chairman of Executive Post Graduate Programmes, said the initiative is centred on its socially participative academic philosophy and that’s how great institutions are made.
Last month, IIM-K also announced the admission of 54.29 per cent women students in its PGP batch 17 (2013-15) narrowing the gender divides for the first time in the history of IIM-K’s.
IIM-K began its journey of contributing to the growing trend of women leaders from 2010 with an intake of 100 women students. There has been a steady rise of this number from 31.5 per cent in 2010 to 35.48 per cent in 2011.
