Students of IIM Calcutta who have joined this programme are from across the country.

Sources from IIM Calcutta said they have been seamlessly working since April to plan, develop and deliver online courses to ensure the timely commencement of the One Year Full-Time Residential Executive MBA, MBAEx and PostGraduate Program for Executives – Visionary Leaders for Manufacturing (PGPEX-VLM) programmes, while ensuring students’ learning is not compromised.

However, keeping the safety of the candidates, the staff and the faculty members in mind, all admission interviews were conducted online.

Additionally, since it was infeasible to conduct written ability test with fairness in the online admission process, IIM Calcutta decided not to consider the weightage given for WAT for the final selection of MBA 2020-22 batch to maintain the fairness and consistency of the admissions process for all candidates.
