IMT Ghaziabad is starting its new campus in Hyderabad. The institute will start operations in June 2011 and will offer a two-year, full-time PGDM programme with nine specialisation streams and more than a hundred electives to choose from.

Each of the courses offered by the institute include a 14-week, faculty supervised Industry Internship Programme at the end of the first year. Students can also opt for international student exchange programme and pre-placement opportunities through their long-duration internships.

“Apart from sought-after elective courses in Finance, Marketing, Human Resources and Operations and General Management streams, the institute also offers electives in Business Analytics, Accounting, Entrepreneurship and International Business. Our 14-week-long Industry Internship Programme is important in the Indian context because it gives students an opportunity to get a holistic view of the organisational processes and also prepares them for their specialisation in the second year,” said Dr V. Panduranga Rao, Director, IMT Hyderabad.

The institute also proposes to set up three centres of excellence in the areas of Financial Engineering, Business Analytics and Entrepreneurship which will help generate more knowledge, test and validate ideas and conduct contemporary practice-oriented research.

The institute also plans to set up a one-year, full-time Executive PGDM for working professionals with over five years of industry experience and short-duration certificate programmes in management in various streams of speciality.
