The EPGP Class of 2010-11 comes from a variety of backgrounds, such as IT services, consulting, operations, and even defence. Almost everyone has considerable international exposure. I would rate this Class high on analytical ability. The students worked extremely hard on case presentations and projects. The understanding and insights they have acquired in the Programme, e.g., making sense of financial statements, budgets and costs, should enable them to appreciate and resolve the conflicting pressures on a business enterprise. I believe that the students will be able to contribute to their prospective employers in a superior way by combining their new learnings with their past organizational experience.

Moving from IT to the Treasury of a bank would not have been possible without the knowledge that I gained from all the finance courses at IIMB as a part of the EPGP. The course content was very contemporary and I could directly corelate what I had learnt with the work requirements Hasan Sabuwala EPGP 2009 Vice President - Treasury BSG, Kotak Mahindra Bank

The Faculty
The faculty body of the institute comprises academicians highly regarded in their fraternity and are, arguably some of the best minds of the country. The institute has departments of Economics, Strategy, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Operations Management, Information Systems, Quantitative Methods, Public Policy, Public Systems, and Entrepreneurship, encompassing the entire gamut of management education. The faculty members maintain strong industry connections by virtue of their research orientation supplemented with consulting assignments. As a result, the curriculum design is closely aligned to needs of the industry. Many professors from various departments in IIMB are authors of popular management books and have collaborated with world renowned authorities on numerous articles and publications. I found the EPGP Class of 2010-11 extremely inquisitive, energetic and hard working. Their level of involvement in the course, preparation and intellectually stimulating interaction in the class was a delight.

The Students
The vibrant & diverse student community is the life blood of IIMB. The students chosen for EPGP have made splendid contributions in their respective sectors prior to arriving in IIMB and are gifted with leadership skills to be at the forefront of business. A high GMAT score, a remarkable professional experience of minimum seven years, a persuasive statement of purpose, and a drilling interview ascertain that the students chosen are well equipped for the rigour of the programme, and the challenges of the future. The students represent a range of sectors including manufacturing, automobile, banking, IT, retail, health care, media, consulting, the defence forces and PSUs. The diversity of experience enriches the discussion and learning in the class. The faculty finds interaction with EPGP students absorbing, energetic, and collaborative.
I very much enjoyed interacting with EPGP Class of 2010-11. The group has rich experience and it makes the dialogue and learning process in the class highly enriching. I am convinced that the participants have the competencies to handle senior management responsibilities in global organizations.

Alumni Speak
One of the major learnings has been the ability to work with ambiguity. Working in business development, I have to take a view on market as well as market participants; being comfortable with ambiguity has really been helpful.

International Immersion
The level of intellect and enthusiasm among the students was truly energizing for me. I appreciated the quality of discussion and questioning that occurred during my recent lecture and look forward to more of the same in the future.
Brad Gambill
EVP and Chief Strategy Officer LG Electronics
Great energy! It was really energizing to be with students who exhibit so much curiosity and drive to learn about Korea and East Asia
Jae Choi
The international study course is the last of the core terms and includes a 15 day tour of a major economy. The visit schedule is customized by IIMB in partnership with one of the leading business schools in the country to be visited. During the week preceding the tour, subject matter experts and industry captains are invited to provide a multi-dimensional overview; this provides the context for the visit. The schedule is so designed as to provide holistic exposure to the economic, political, socio-cultural and business environment of the country visited. The present batch of EPGP visited South Korea for its international immersion which was organized by KAIST Business School, Seoul. As part of the programme, the students visited the plants of LG, Doosan, GM Daewoo, SK Telecom, and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and interacted with the top level executives of these companies. The visits to plants were augmented by the classroom sessions conducted by faculty of KAIST, and professionals from firms like McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, Korean Exchange Bank, and LG. Chief Strategy Officer Doosan Construction Equipment
IIMB EPGP students were well-prepared for all the meetings with senior executives and had some very good questions to ask them. I was impressed by how much they had grasped of the economic, cultural and political status of Korea in the short two weeks they spent here.
Comprehensive Project
The comprehensive project provides an opportunity to integrate learning from the program and apply it to a real management problem or an impending opportunity in a business sector. The project is executed under the guidance of a faculty member and is executed over a period of six months. The project can also be themed upon bridging the social divide, researching public policy schemes like NREGA, recommending strategies for inclusive growth of India, and various other social challenges.
Alumni Speak
Be it leadership, crisis management, people management, or technical aspects of the job, I find myself dealing the issues with a different approach and in a more structured manner. It is definitely helping me to do my job in much better and productive way. If I look myself two years back and now I see a lot of difference to my approach to work and life in general.

Recruitment Process
Pre-placement Talks
The Pre-placement talk is a platform for interaction between the company and the students. The representatives of the company share the profile of the company, key aspects of its business, work environment, and opportunities available to students. The presentation is followed by a Q&A session where students interact with company officials to get a better understanding of the company and potential roles. A typical pre-placement session is scheduled for 90 minutes. In view of the academic calendar of the students, the sessions are scheduled between 4pm to 6pm on weekdays, and between 8am and 8pm hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Interested students apply to the company through the placement committee. A detailed resume is submitted by the student as part of the application process. EPGP students have substantial work experience and have been inducted through a rigorous selection process. We therefore follow a grade and GMAT score non-disclosure policy.
Final Placements
Final placement interview gives the company and the student an opportunity to discuss the role in detail and make the right choice. The final placement process is conducted over an extended period of time beginning in the first week of November. This gives the companies ample time for customized selection processes that may be required, given the lateral hiring process.
