The deadline for applications to the Indian Institute of Management's (IIM) Blended MBA programme for working professionals is today. Without interfering with their careers, the two-year programme aims to give mid-to-senior-level professionals digital, leadership and strategic skills.

In addition to IIM's rigorous academic standards, the programme offers flexibility through live online sessions, campus immersions and a strong digital learning platform. The third week of June is when the first entrance exam is planned and classes will start in September 2025.

First year coursework consists of 480 hours, second year coursework consists of 60 hours of project work and third year coursework consists of 300 hours of electives. There are four required campus immersion modules that offer networking opportunities and real-world experience.

With the aid of Jaro Education's technological platform, which provides round-the-clock access to recordings, discussion boards and real-time progress tracking, classes are conducted on weekday evenings and weekends.

A bachelor's degree with at least 50% of the possible points and at least three years of full-time work experience are prerequisites for eligibility. Admission is determined by the results of an IIM Nagpur exam and a personal interview. Five instalments of the Rs 12.1 lakh programme fee are required.

Graduates of IIM Nagpur will be granted alumni status, which will facilitate improved career advancement and access to a robust professional network. Additionally the programme provides industry projects and exposure to other countries which enhances the academic experience in a real-world way.

Founded in 2015 and ranked 31st by the NIRF in 2024, IIM Nagpur has rapidly emerged as one of the top management schools in India. For information and last-minute applications, visit the IIM Nagpur website or give the programme counsellors a call at 9240218482.
