IIT-M invites applications for Executive MBA programme for mid-career professionals

CHENNAI: The Department of Management Studies (DoMS), IIT Madras, has invited applications for its Executive MBA programme, designed for mid-career professionals with contemporary management insights and leadership skills required to drive modern business organisations.

This two-year in-person degree programme offers a pragmatic curriculum combining academic rigour with experiential learning.

Conducted on alternate weekends, it enables working professionals to balance their career commitments while pursuing higher education. The curriculum features three field-based capstone projects, offering experiential learning opportunities to address real-world business challenges. The programme aims to equip participants with deep functional expertise, cross-domain knowledge, and an integrated global perspective on business leadership.

Applicants must have a minimum of 60% marks in their UG degree and at least three years of work experience. The selection process, scheduled on November 8 and 9, will include a written aptitude test, covering business aptitude, reasoning, quantitative and verbal ability, followed by a personal interview. The programme will commence in January 2026.

Highlighting the unique value proposition, Professor Saji K Mathew, Head, DoMS, said, “The programme combines IIT-M’s technological advantage with a global business outlook. Students also gain international exposure through an immersion programme at IESEG School of Management, Paris.”

S Srinivasan, programme coordinator, added: “Through case-based pedagogy and interdisciplinary modules, the course nurtures strategic decision-making and leadership in a simulated business environment.”
