NIIT & IIM-C alliance to offer EDPs

 Under the alliance, IIM-Calcutta would design the programmes and deliver them through its experienced faculty besides conducting evaluation and certification while NIIT would provide the technology for virtual classrooms and implement and manage the overall student experience, it said.

This programme would enable working executives to undertake management education programmes while being at work, Pawar said.

The business school would offer two programmes - strategic management for senior executives and applied finance for executives in finance functions, it said.

The technology adopted by NIIT would enable both the instructor and student to interact through live video and audio media.
