NIIT enters management education

NEW DELHI: NIIT announced its foray into management education with the launch of its new institute ‘NIIT Imperia’, under which it would offer certificate programmes from three IIMs to working executives, via synchronous learning technology.

NIIT Imperia would offer long term and short term programmes in general and functional management to executives, through Centres for Advanced Learning across six locations, initially.

While the content, teaching and certification would be from the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) at Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Indore, NIIT would be responsible for technology, synchronous classrooms and the management of distributed education system.“Through this alliance, we are bringing the strengths of the best management schools and NIIT’s capability of delivery education on a mass scale.
