Information of the Program and its Execution

The Advanced Entry route program is a good alternative for those who are serious about advancing their careers in upper-level management, since it requires them to complete the Research Methods module and a Consultancy Project Report on a topic of their choosing.

The webinars on “Induction” and “Research Methods,” which come at the beginning of the program, provide you the opportunity to complete the proposal you’ve been working upon in your research.

The Consultancy Project Report gives students an opportunity to research a specific area of interest inside a company. The goal of this module is to improve students’ professional and intellectual growth by giving them opportunities to demonstrate persistent independent thought, learning, and critical reflection.
