Over the last 29 years, the Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Ghaziabad, (www.imt.edu) has been moulding itself to adapt to the fast changing business and social environment. Its strength lies in a committed faculty and the courses it offers.

According to Anwar Ali, director, IMT Ghaziabad, "Our graduates are trained to carry an element of team spirit and individual skills to the workplace, demonstrating a passion for excellence and commitment."

IMT admits only those candidates who have taken the CAT. Educational background, experience, soft skills and other personality traits are given considerable weightage while selecting students. Normally, one's CAT score and GD/PI are given equal weightage at a 50:50 ratio.

The Institute of Management Technology, Nagpur (www.imtnagpur.ac.in) is known for its academic initiatives, research contributions, executive development and industry interface.

“Over the past few years, there have been dramatic shifts in the global marketplace for managerial talent. IMT-Nagpur strives to change and evolve training methods to cater to the dynamic needs of the corporate world," says Rajendra Nargundkar, director, IMT Nagpur.

With a praiseworthy infrastructure supported by upgraded technology, IMT Nagpur ‘s courses are geared towards equipping students to meet the challenges that organisations face in a highly competitive and technologically advanced business environment.

Given the strong need for comprehensive global academic programmes, IMT Nagpur attempts to establish strategic bilateral partnerships with leading B-Schools across the globe. These partnerships enable students to experience a culturally diverse campus and academic environment.

In keeping with its future vision of positioning itself in the global business map, IMT established its first overseas campus in Dubai in 2006. IMT Dubai (www.imtdubai.ac.ae) is the first business school from India, approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, government of UAE. Its MBA programme has been accredited by the Commission of Academic Accreditation (CAA), Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, government of UAE.

"Bringing world-class management education within easy reach of students and management professionals who are seeking global careers has been the key driver behind this initiative," says Farhad-Rad-Serecht, director, IMT Dubai.

Recognising the need for an experienced and mature management community in Dubai, IMT Dubai offers a two year full-time MBA programme, which is designed for young graduates looking for a global exposure.

"The new knowledge-based society demands managers who are flexible and versatile. With the advancement of technology, they need to keep learning and upgrading their skills. Innovative forms of transnational education based on internet have been opened to students around the world. This has made distance education more vibrant and a rewarding experience," says Arun Mohan Sherry, director, IMT-CDL IMT-Centre for Distance Learning (www.imtcdl.ac.in) has been contributing to the educational revolution in its own way. Alive to the emerging challenge, the centre has been in the forefront, establishing a lead by preparing managers of tomorrow with a distinct vision blended with technology and skills.
