IMT Ghaziabad to launch dual-country course

The Institute of Management Technology (IMT) Ghaziabad plans to start a new dual-country course by July this year. With an intake of 120 students, the two-year course will offer students the opportunity to spend one year at IMT’s Ghaziabad campus and the other year at its Dubai campus.
The fee of this dual-country course will be 20 per cent higher than that of IMT Ghaziabad which is Rs 11 lakh for the two year management course. The fee for this course will be Rs 14-15 lakh for two years.
“We are waiting for approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). It is in final stages of approval and once we get that, we will start the dual country post graduate programme in management,” said Arun Mohan Sherry, Chairman (Joint Admission Committee) of IMT’s Ghaziabad, Nagpur and Dubai campuses.
The institute expects to get the approval in another week or ten days and will take those candidates for the programme who can’t make it to IMT in the first list. “With this programme, we will increase the student intake and candidates in the waiting list will get admission in the course,” added Sherry. IMT Ghaziabad currently has a batch of around 400 students and admissions will begin after the AICTE approval.
Though IMT already has tie-ups with more than 40 institutes globally, the dual-country programme will allow students to spend a year at IMT’s Dubai campus while the other programmes are short term student and faculty exchange programmes for a three-six month duration.
