While selecting a management institute, students accord significant weightage to the kind of exposure it offers, its placement record and so on. The Dubai campus of the Institute of Management Technology (IMT),Ghaziabad just does that. Founded in 2006, IMT Dubai offers an accredited MBA programme as well as sundry executive courses. Located in the Dubai International Academic City, the institute is the first Indian management college to be granted accreditation by the Commission for Academic Accreditation, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, UAE, for its quality courses and reputable heritage. The accreditation ensures that the MBA programme operates at international standards of quality, allowing the BSchool to achieve a global level of excellence. “IMT Dubai’s pedagogy is grounded around two pillars.
The first is the rigorous coursework, which provides students with the tools for professional success. The second is the ‘effervescence’ that is derived from the exposure of IMT students to the professional world,” says Dr. Arun Mohan Sherry, Chairman, Joint Admission Committee. This exposure gives students a degree of maturity and experience that is unparalleled by other business studies. The two-year MBA programme at IMT Dubai has a strong industry interface achieved through an internship programme, company project and a continuous interaction with the industry.
Adds Dr. Farhad Rad-Serecht, Director, IMT Dubai, “Our vision is to bring world class management education, training and consulting within the easy reach of management professionals seeking global careers. We enjoy some stellar international linkages like those with the Brussels-based European Foundation for Management Development, the Burgundy School of Business based in France, HEC Montreal based in Canada and the London Metropolitan University.” As far as eligibility is concerned, applicants to the MBA Programme must hold a Bachelors degree from an accredited university. They are expected to have a CGPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Applicants whose native language is not English are required to take an English proficiency test.
The minimum score for TOEFL is 550 (paper-based) and 80 (Internet-based) or 6.0 for IELTS. Although work experience is not mandatory, applicants with work experience are preferred. The campus also enjoys a strategic advantage in terms of location as Dubai today serves a market of more than 1.5 billion people and is ranked as the world’s third largest re-export centre. The city being a nerve centre for multinational business conglomerates opens up lucrative placement avenues across diverse sectors. More than a third of the Fortune 500 companies have their presence locally. Apart from a pivotal edge in terms of placements, the IMT Dubai campus translates to a slew of benefits for its students. For example, students are exposed to people from different cultures as the city is a cosmopolitan hub. There are a number of Indians residing there which creates a feeling of a home away from home. And the Emirate also scores very high in terms of individual security.
