THE PHILOSOPHY Education is acquisition of the art of utilisation of knowledge. Knowledge in the management field, like other disciplines, is
expanding very fast. Education is central to the human resource development and empowerment in any country, and the
quality of education is judged by the kind of human it produces. Education is the means whereby adults pass on their
beliefs and values to their children.
The growing internationalisation of higher education, especially professional courses and institutions, increasing
international co-operation and the emergence of new, transnational education providers are posing a challenge to higher
education systems of the country. The new knowledge-based society demands managers who are flexible and versatile.
They need to learn continuously and upgrade their skills as the technology advances. Innovative forms of transnational
education based on internet have been opened to students around the world. This has made distance education more
vibrant and rewarding experience.
IMT-CDL has been contributing to this educational revolution in its own way. Fully alive to the emerging challenge, the
Centre has taken the leadership in preparing managers of tomorrow armed with a distinct vision, blended with technology
and skills. The centre strives to create allround leaders in management and entrepreneurship by helping its students
acquire the necessary skills.

A Portfolio of Programmes

IMT-CDL offers a wide spectrum of management and information technology programmes. The curriculum is constantly
updated to be in touch with the dynamic global and Indian environment. Learning is further enhanced by information
technology that connects students to resources and data around the globe. The approach to management education is
founded on continuous innovation, development of practical knowledge and a relentless commitment to academic
excellence.

A management qualification, which was earlier seen just as a degree programme for selective people who valued higher
education, can be a life changing decision for working professional today. There are proven results that an integrated
higher education and learning intervention framework which dovetails rigorously credentialed professional programmes,
curricula and facilitation tools, can immensely develop working professional across all functions and additionally benefit
the organization within which they are employed.
With increasing employee turnover organizations today need to identify workforce trends in a more predictive manner,
target capability gaps, diagnose and prescribe ways to develop and retain critical talent and build a continuous learning
environment in alignment with business needs.
Our Education Proposition titled ‘B-School Inside’ is the closest an organization can get to have its own customized
B-School without investing into building one.
The ‘B-School Inside’ model from IMT can potentially deliver much greater value. The Heart of the Proposition is the
‘Action Curriculum’ empowered by a globally relevant ‘Concept and Context Curriculum, a rigorous ‘LEAD - Learn,
Engage, Apply and Develop Methodology’ and a robust technology enabled learning management system. The Model is
built by a rare and intense collaboration of Industry Professionals and Senior Academics, and is perhaps the most unique
Biz-Education endeavour for Young Executives.
The Highlights of B-School Inside proposition are as follows:

• Designed to Deliver Measurable Business Impact: Education Researchers at IMT have built a Model that links our
management training solutions with the desired business impact. Our experts also help organizations precisely
measure the impact and enable optimization of training investments.

• Least invasive on Executive Schedules: Our ‘Direct to Learner’ platform and ‘customised industry-led’ workshops,
our learners get the highest quality learning experience and mentoring by leading management experts without
being away from work.

• A Learner Support Ecosystem to maximize completion and success rates: Innovative support services ensure
that each learner remains aligned to the learning goals and remains motivated to complete the program.

• Wide Range of Targeted Programs: We offer both the UGC recognized Long term programs ( One to Two year)
that lead to premium Management Qualifications and also highly focussed customised short term programs to
meet your organizations business needs.

• A Learning Ecosystem that Reduces Cost and Maximizes ROI: Traditional Systems many times lead to high
training costs and often suspect learning outcomes. IMT’s learning ecosystem is designed to deliver high quality
at a much reduced cost. This is achieved by smart technology powered solutions honed over the years by IMT

IMT-CDL
PROGRAMMES

A Commitment To Excellence

In an effort to reach out to the graduates and working professionals, IMT-Centre for Distance Learning offers distance
education programmes. Consonant with our mission of encouraging sustained professional enrichment in an academic
environment, these programmes provide professional education in a flexible academic package synergised with
specially prepared study material and video recorded lectures.

Dynamic Curriculum

The curriculum is constantly updated with the changing national and international business environment. Following the
Kaizen concept, a continuous endeavour is made to improve the course design, core readings and the periodic
examination process. The emphasis is on creating a ‘modular’ way of teaching which includes the participation of both the
faculty and the experts from industry.
At IMT-Centre for Distance Learning, we believe that meaningful learning is possible only when there is a direct
communication between the teacher and the pupil. Our distance education programme recognises that faculty-student
interaction is an integral part of the process of acquisition of knowledge. Our information centres also ascribe to
IMT-CDL’s philosophy by imparting comprehensive management education to our student managers.

The Philosophy

Education today is not a static regimented process confined to the formative years of childhood or adolescence, but it is
a dynamic and a continuous on-going process that extends throughout our professional careers. In this ever-changing
worldwide phenomenon, the Distance Learning Education Mode is a potent flexible educational format that offers multiple
benefits of flexibility, professional recognition and academic enhancement to the student.

The Pioneer

As one of the pioneers of the distance education programme in management education, IMT-CDL started in 1986 with
250 students. Today, there are thousands of enrolled students spread worldwide..

Teaching Methodology

LEAD - Learn, Engage, Apply and Develop: is IMT’s unique learning methodology and is perhaps the best blend of
activities to learn on your own, learn by engaging with Experts and Peers, learning by doing and continuously develop and
build your cababilities.

28

Virtual Classroom

In order to further enhance the quality of education imparted to the students, IMT-Centre for Distance Learning is
connecting large number of centres across the country to the head office through satellite connection in a phased
manner. The students can have a touch base with the renowned and experienced faculty visiting its main centre and
have a sense of belonging with the alma mater. The students get the opportunity to interact with the finest faculty in
respective areas through video conferencing. In this way, IMT-CDL can maintain a contact with its thousands of students
enrolled across India and deliver the same quality of education.

Group Learning

Group learning is an effective vehicle preparing prospective managers to be proactive in seeking and acquiring
knowledge rather than being limited to lecture sessions. Free exchange of ideas and information among group
members through discussions and presentations in a proven methodology for the development of professional and
communication skills.

The Case Method

This method is used extensively to help develop analystical skills critical to business decision-making. The student
managers are exposed to the complexities of the highly competitive professional environment under simulated
conditions to help evolve a competent race of new generation managers.

Self Learning Materials (SLMs)

A set of Self Learning Materials (SLMs) are sent to all students as per the course calendar at the beginning of the
session. Self Learning Materials for various subjects have been developed through selected competent faculty.
Improvement in quality has been ensured through SLMs because no single text book can cover the course content
appropriately. Though SLMs, the subject matter is made self-explanatory and easier to understand.

PROJECT WORK

The project work constitutes a major component in most of the professional programmes. The objective of the project
is to help students develop ability to apply theoretical and practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related
to industry, academic institutions and research. Every student is required to submit a project on a subject of his own
choice. During counselling sessions, inputs shall be provided for preparation towards project work. Marks will be
awarded on presentation, amount of research and viva-voce.
