Institution High-quality education in India should be available like air. Those who wish
to breathe in the oxygen/of knowledge, neither money nor distance or any other barrier
should come in the way. Gates should be open for anyone willing, driven and curious to
dive in the pool of knowledge and ready to transform self and the world with its gains.
No, more quality education only for the rich or those living in the metros or those who
could pursue it full time only. We need a robust open and accessible high-quality
education system that encourages lifelong learning and can wrap itself around the lives
of the learners. Recent developments at the Institution At IMT, Centre for Distance
Learning, we have introduced many cutting-edge technologies in our Learning Experience
to increase and improve students knowledge. Technology provides student with directed
learning, which allows them with more choices of various learning methods. The range of
research at IMT is broad and deep. We researched on the best practices being used at the
top institutions in the world and have
integrated them in our approach and curriculum to bring out the best at IMT, Centre for
Distance Learning. Our Direct to Learner platform gets the highest- quality learning
experience without being away from work. The teaching pedagogy followed at the Institution
Best Management Programmes are designed to prepare students to be tomorrows Business
Leaders. LEAD which stands for Learn, Engage, Apply and Develop, it is a great way to
prepare students to be tomorrows business leaders. LEAD is IMTs unique Learning
Methodology and is perhaps the best blend of activities to learn on your own, Learn by
engaging with experts and peers, learning by Doing and Continuously Develop and Build your
capabilities. Lets describe the methodology and its components: Learn : Students Learn
from IMTs vast and continuously enhanced repository of Self-Learning Courseware. The
Self- Learning is as per a prescribed time line and anytime access to learning resources.
Each Courseware meets the following Criteria: • Self-Explanatory : Learner should
understand content with No External Support. • Self-Contained : Learner may not need any
additional Material. • Self-Directed & Motivating : Guided Learning with hints,
suggestions at each stage of learning. Engage with Experts : This provides an opportunity
to connect with IMTs illustrious faculty members to further build on your understanding
and clarify all doubts to gain confidence. Apply : Students are provided ample
opportunity to apply their knowledge in simulated real-life situations. This is achieved
by Guided Demonstrations, Mentored Discussions and Action Case Studies during Expert
Connect session. Additionally IMTs Action Assessments constitute of smartly designed
assignments and projects that hone your abilities to put knowledge into action. Develop :
Learning should be a continuous spiral going upwards. New concepts and topics learnt
today should build on the knowledge gained earlier. IMT programmes follow this approach
beautifully as students progress from one topic to the other and one subject to the next.
Many learning activities in the programme compel learners to draw from earlier-learnt
topics and synthesize
them to develop new and greater understanding of business situations. The specific gaps
in the education system that we sought to address Scarcity of time and pressures of work
faced by most working executives or business owners make it tough for them to realize
their dream to acquire a premium management qualification. Five days, Six days and
occasionally Seven Working Days during a week pose a formidable challenge to pursue
further education along with work. In addition to uncertain work schedules, busy executives
might have to frequently travel or even relocate to a new city. Demanding work schedule
makes it tough to accommodate study schedules of traditional programmes and hence often
it is not possible to pursue serious formal education without giving a career break.
With its primary focus on working executives, IMT-CDL has made series of major
pedagogical innovations to enable busy executives to pursue their careers along with their
pursuit of higher education. For working executives looking to climb up the corporate
ladder or those seeking better career opportunities or Young Graduates aspiring to be
spotted by recruiters or Business Owners who wish to infuse modern management practices

With the increasing need to upgrade ones qualification due to the robust change in the
way companies are functioning and expanding currently, there is a constant need for
competent and trained resources. Hence Distance learning programmes or online

various reasons like flexibility of studies at their own convenience, ease of taking exams
on weekends, etc.Also students who have otherwise not been able to enroll for a full-time
MBA due to various reasons like immediate employment after graduation, Unable to afford
the fees for a full-time programme are preferring distance learning programmes as their
best choice. Though there are hundreds of Institutions offering programmes online or
through distance learning mode only a few succeed in creating thought leaders or provide
value to their students and their careers. One such Institute which has emerged as a
clear winner or a differentiator in the distance learning space is Welingkar Institute of
Management.(We School). They offer a 2 years Post Graduate Diploma in
Management, PGDM-HB in the Hybrid mode, which is a fair mix of Video-recorded lectures,
Live Lectures through simple video conferencing, Personal Contact Programmes & week-end

Programmes are also conducted for students who prefer traditional classroom method for
learning. One more interesting feature offered to students is E-Learning Toolkit & Online
Video Library. In the E-learning toolkit, students are provided with summary of the entire

industry happenings and news, a section called News Wire Services is made available in
the online video library section. This section is updated on a daily basis for the
students as per their preferred specialization so that they are up to date with the latest
news and trends of the industry. Examinations: This is the most important part in the mind
of a student who wants to pursue a PGDM through correspondence or distance learning mode.
Working professionals are concerned if the exam dates will clash with important meetings
or prior commitments and students doing this course along with other programmes are
worried that the exam dates of both the programmes might be in the same month. We School
gives the distance learning students the flexibility of appearing for mid-term
examinations online and term end examinations at many specified centres so that they
have their choice of the nearest exam centre. Also, an entire month is given to complete
the examinations which allows students to choose weekends to take their examinations.

specializations available in the second year. It is not mandatory for the student to

weekends to learn from real-life situations and implement the management learning gained

gems in the field of education. Whether it is the university of Mumbai, the All India

synonymous with maximum quality consciousness. Welingkar has given a new perspective to

formalities online on http://welingkaLonlorg QUOTE: Dr. UDAY SALUNKHE DIRECTOR, Welingkar
Institute of Management Welingkar Institute is always known to set landmarks for others to
follow. When we were thinking about many students who were not able to complete their
qualifications due to a thousand reasons, the first thought that came to our mind was
the
geographical location of the students. Dedication to the educational field did not
allow
us to stay calm, and finally we came out with PGDM-HB. The Distance Learning Programme
has
to understand not only the differences in learning within various students, but also
locations.We provided preference to the flexibility, and confided in the students
capabilities to complete the programme. We also conduct a number of Value-added workshops
on every Saturday/Sunday in various areas
like Networking Skills, Art of Influencing, Mastering the Interview, etc. Also, the
Institute provides Management education to Distance learning students through innovative
techniques like movie learning sessions, Business Simulation Games, Spiritual Visits,
etc. I always had a thought for those who could not make it to the college for such
courses due to many reasons, and am happy that we could do a very valuable service to
them in the form of PGDM-HB. All the best.... WELINGKAR INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT For more
