IPMX @ IIM Lucknow

Many say it would have been a tough decision for me forgoing admission to Dual Degree MBA from Hong Kong University & London Business School ( Ranked No 1 in the world) and Singapore in favour of IIM Lucknow, but i guess the decision was very simple. I have grown up in a family where education is of paramount importance, and for any middle class boy there are no names bigger than IIT & IIM, so when i got the coveted seat at IIM Lucknow ( i am born and brought up in Lucknow) it was a dream come true. Also apart from the dream coming true, there are various merits in choosing Lucknow.

The 1 year Program ( IPMX) is basically an International Management program and is covered at various locations.

1/ Lucknow Campus
2/ Newly established satellite campus at Noida
3/ International Immersion -which would be in Europe this year. Prior batches had gone to McGill university Canada.

There are various advantages of studying at various locations. The Noida/NCR chapter brings us closer to the industry and leverages the Delhi advantage. CEO conclave, HR summits, Leadership Talk series, Guest lectures by eminent faculty and industry people really add value to the curriculum. The Lucknow chapter instills the rigour and knowledge base in the students, and the International chapter brings cross cultural skills and international exposure for the batch. Though 80% of the batch has international exposure, collective learning internationally would be an add on advantage, not to forget the fun element.

The faculty have thought deeply about the program and have made all the possible efforts to make this program truly International, in line with the name- International Program in Management.

I am glad i made the choice, and now i am a proud student at IIML and would be an IIML alumni for life. I hope i would be able to make seizable contributions to my alma mater in future..!!!
