“Mumbai-based
National Institute of Management (NIM),
one of the pioneers in fast- track management education
for
working people, offers several distant management programs.
Established in 1990 by the well-known NGO Lokseva,
to impart high quality education in management through
open and distance learning, NIM imparts business
skills to participants to improve their organization’s
productivity, profitability and employee relations.
One of the top B-school in correspondence education, NIM has 15 branches across the country with a
student base of 17,000 including 2,000 overseas students.
Recently, NIM got an ISO accreditation
from the reputed UKAS. Of about 1,700 B-schools
in India less than 100 schools have got ISO certification. “We are the first distance education
institute with ISO 9001 certification. This is
a recognition of our quality of education”, says Abhishek Dhariwal, Director, NIM.
NIM’s MBA program allows its students to
understand various aspects of business management and
the importance of diverse functional areas in the operation
of an organization. Students get to know about formulation
of business policies and strategies and their implications
for the organization. The forces driving business cycles
will also be studied closely so that business plans
can be developed and modified suitably.
NIM makes students conscious of the best of Indian
and international management practices and values. According
to Mr. Dhariwal, NIM’s curriculum is motivated,
value-based and competent. It imparts world-class management
education with the latest management knowledge for all-round
development of students.
Designed by highly qualified faculty, the course material
enhances students productivity. In fact, the NIM
MBA turns out to be a rather cost- effective course,
which qualifies students for better career opportunities
and also saves their valuable time in the process. Plans
are also being made for introducing a regular 18 months MBA Autonomous with integrated PGDM at Ahmedabad.
