MBA Programme

The Post-graduate Program in Management at IIT Delhi has existed for nearly three decades and has carved a niche for itself. The three versions of the MBA program are as follows:

MBA (Full Time) with Focus on Management Systems [91 seats]: With the unique features of systems orientation and a blend of creativity and analytical problemsolving skills, MBA with focus on “Management Systems” is aimed at developing holistic managers who internalize a synthesis of conventional and modern management thinking and who can comfortably adapt to changing business requirements. The program provides to the students various routes to the industry, matching its requirements with their skills and predispositions. Every student gets the opportunity to specialize in major streams, like Information Technology, Finance, Marketing, Strategy, Human Resource/ Organization Management and Operations Management. Along with the functional areas of specialization, the students also get a cross functional perspective.

MBA (Full Time) with Focus on Telecommunication Systems Management [24 seats]: This programme is comprehensive in nature, involving all the business functions-accounting, finance, operations, HR management, organisation, marketing and business computing science. The emphasis on Telecommunications Systems Management provides a strong foundation in Telecom System Management to become effective managers especially in the Telecom sector. This programme draws Telecom technology inputs from Bharti School of Telecom Technology & Management of IIT Delhi. Typical employers would be corporations, which provide telecom networks, telecom service providers, and telecom equipment vendors.

MBA (Part Time) with Focus on Technology Management [60 seats]: For the Indian industry to gain global competitiveness, effective management of technology is crucial. This would mean using technology as a strategic variable to gain competitive advantage and would require an organization to critically understand processes of technology planning and strategy, management of technology transfer and absorption, and more. The part-time MBA programme with focus on ‘Technology Management’ is aimed at fulfilling these requirements so as to enable the managers to effectively contribute in evolving core competencies in Indian industry.
