This programme will be the foremost global executive education programme in India with unparalleled exposure to the world's best. There will be many challenges in store. 

The first will be gaining admission, said Arindam Chaudhuri confidently about IIPMs latest initiative - a global executive management programme to be imparted at IIPM's International campus in New Delhi. And why not? With only 80 seats every session (just two sessions in a year) and names like the Chicago GSB and The Haas School of Business associated with the programme it really seems ISB will now have some serious competition in India.

Widely acknowledged as the leader in providing global exposure to students, the 2008 ZEE Business survey of India's Best B-Schools ranked IIPM as the 7th Best B-School in India and ranked it the No.1 B-School in India in Global Exposure. In its endeavour to break new grounds in education in India this new programme participants will undergo a unique course spread over 1,400 contact hours in the space of twelve months, making it the most rigorous and superior Executive Programme taught anywhere (the ISB programme incidentally is only a 620 contact hour programme). The programme will have a phenomenal focus on Economics, Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Personality Development, along with a compulsory specialisation in Marketing.

A combination of major electives in Finance and HR coupled with super specialisations in Investment Banking, International Marketing, Supply Chain Management, MIS and IT etc. make up for the rest of the course.
