Hi,
Does anyone know about the IIML part time MBA program - how is it?
Its pretty expensive and no placement assitance either.
The exam was conducted last sunday. 100 Questions/2 hrs - 33 Eng, 33 Math, 34 Quant - Fairly simple questions in comparison with the CAT, that is because they are targetting professionals who might be out of touch with the subjects on account of being away from the books.
Any ideas on how many students appeared. One of the centres was Bharti public school, Mayur Vihar, Ph. 3 - with about 500 students. Is anyone aware of any other centres.
Thanks and Cheers.
Amit.
Does IIML offer any short term course in Management (Personnel/ Financial/ any other) for working persons?
I believe these MBAs are targeted at working professionals. Since people are already working, why provide placements? And regarding the expensive part, usually your company bears the cost. For example, Infosys and Wipro sponsor part time MBAs of their employees at IIM-B.
does anyone has the idea when are the results of IIML wmp out ?????????
They are Out Just Now? Today 24th April, 2006
Hi all,
Just wanted to know few things about this course
1. How many people they call for GD/PI. There are about 60 sixty.
2. how is the reaction of the first batch regarding this course?
Regards
Sarju
I guess they will call around 8 times the no of saets.. So about 480..
Have any one of you got a call? If yes what's ur score?
I got a call for GD/PI of WMP. My written score is around 60%. Is there anyone around who got a call??
I have also got a call for GD/PI. My score is 55%.My GD /PI is on 26th . When is urs?
I joined and completed WMP. In case, someone has any query about WMP from student's perspective, mail me at [email protected]. But pls go thru the WMP website IIM Lucknow - Noida Campus before sending me a mail so that you have a better idea about the course.
Here are some commonly asked questions:
Q. What's the exam pattern? How difficult is exam?
A. Exam is on the pattern of CAT. Since the no. of candidates are very less, the competition is much lesser. Expect somewhere between 500-1000 candidates for ~ 60 seats.
Q. Is this course worth doing?
A. Every course in this world is worth doing for some and not worth doing for others. This is a very subjective question and cannot be answered.
Q. I have years of experience in industry. Should I do this course?
A. Its for you to decide. Or ask a career councilor if you are unable to decide. The most I can help is by providing information on this course.
>>>>My GD/PI is on 25th...send me a mail at [email protected] .

Hello Sonu (and others on the thread)
It is really good to see professionals around NCR getting interested in WMP Program.
Let me start by a brief introduction first - I am Ankur Goel, a participant at the WMP programme of IIML Noida Campus and also a member of the Student Council, WMP programme.
Let me first start by correcting the Topic of this Thread - WMP programme is not a part-time course but an Evening program. The difference in naming is becoz part-time programme are usually considered to be on the easy side in comparison to the regular MBA programs but WMP programme is rigourous and comparable to the regular MBA program.
WMP programme was started last year and as of now the classes are being held in the PMI campus. The construction work for our own campus has started this year in Noida, sector 62 and it is expected to be completed by next year.
There are 60 seats for which approx. 250 candidates were called last year for GD/PI. Same should be the case this year too.
As far as the reaction of the first batch is considered I am quoting below good words from one of us -
"The Noida Campus of IIML, is trying to bring in a big change in the thought process of industry which till now has despised Evening MBA programs. With the dedicated faculty, either recruited solely for the campus or flown from the IIML main campus, IIML has ensured that there is no compromise in the quality of education imparted.
The strenuous schedule that IIMs are known for in regular MBA, has been replicated to the full at Noida campus's currently running program which is Working Manager's Program (WMP). Along with this the vast experience of participants which ranges from 2yrs and goes up to as high as 15yrs, the program through its well designed course truly makes sure that everyone gains from the class sessions, not just the participants but even the faculty.
No doubt about the fact the IIML has tried to serve the long standing demand of a reputed and extremely good Business School in the National Capital Region, Delhi."
Keep posting your queries and I would be glad to help you out in resolving any kind of doubts.

Hi Ashish,
Congratulations....!! GD/PI for the WMP program is taken by almost the same faculty and in the same manner in which GD/PI for regular PGP is handled...So U can expect questions to be wide spread and it would be difficult to give U an answer on what to prepare..But yes One thing is for sure that if U have that m,uch experience then the panel would expect that U have all the required info on what u have done in professional career + all kinds of info on ur company + info on ur company products + general business practices related to ur profession. Additionaly the questions can be asked from the graduation also but I guess they are just asked to see how the candidate handles them and not to test the content of answer.
Rest current affairs, some economic terms and other arbit things..as I said its difficult to predict what they will ask... But more important is to carry urself so as to let them know that U think like a manager and U are a manager...I guess thats what they are looking for...

Hi Ankur,
This is really wonderfull that someone from WMP community is coming forward and asnwering to queries posted by the aspirants. Kudos to you for that.
I too wish to ask some questions in regards to WMP. to give a brief intro, so as to enable a better prespective (may be equivalent to what i an intending for) of the situation--" i am having 3+ yrs of experience in IT.. with an Engg. degree (hons) in Electronics and comm.. currently i am pursuing the EPYP course from IIMC. This course provides you with the intro and understanding of management terms and lingua.. but is definately not the replacement for a regular MBA.. so i look forward for a regular or executive MBA"..
now my questions;
a). Does WMP will help me in solving my concerns?
b). What is the usual fee structure.. i couldn't locate a detailed fee structure on IIML-noida campus site?
c). Does it provide placement assistance?
d). Is the mode of teaching is one-to-one teacher-participant(s) interaction or thru VSAT?
e). I heard there is some exchange program with universities located outside India. Is it true?
It would be great if you can help me in finding the answers to these.
Thanks a lot

Saurabh
would you please tell me ALL ABOUT PART TIME MBA??????
I have cleared the part time entrance to both IIFT and IIML Noida Campus (WMP) programs. I am really confused which course to join. Im trying to compare the two in terms of branding, course structure, placements (most importantly) and also on the complexity of the course. All in all which one is a more valuable course? The IIFT program had been started in 2000 and the IIM one a few years ago.
Also, is WMP equivalent to an MBA or PGDM degree?
