Executive MBA at SITM: Helping students grow!

If you thought that the jobs at the telecom industry were restricted to that of facilitating a call or connectivity between two points, you are grossly mistaken. Yes! Of course we have engineers to help make the call or to facilitate its connectivity. But, what about managing these engineers? What about deciding the goals of the company? An engineering mind could lack the capability as well as foresight to do a good job, in such situations. This is where the managers trained from reputed institutes like Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management, Pune take charge of the situation and help the industry achieve its target.

A few years ago, at the time of its inception, SITM catered exclusively to fresh graduates who wanted to pursue an MBA in telecom management. However, with the time the institute has expanded its reach and its ability. Today, SITM caters to the professionals as well. Yes! As part of its curriculum, SITM conducts the executive MBA program in telecom management. This program is tailor made to suit the needs of the professionals. If you are wondering how, the answer is simple.

First things first, professionals have an experience of working in the industry and understanding its nuances. Therefore, they don’t need lectures to explain them about the basics. After all, they have learnt it first-hand. SITM understands this. Accordingly, the executive MBA is all about a comprehensive curriculum that introduces them to the latest advancements in the industry while focusing on the managerial aspect or implication of the entire process.

The second most important thing that would concern any professional is the timing of the course. If they have to leave their job to pursue their academic interests, it would mean major financial burden on their personal life. However, SITM takes care of this as well. The entire program is spread over a duration of three years with the classes scheduled on weekends. This means, you can happily continue your job on the weekdays. Also, participants located outside Pune find it easier to travel for classes on the weekends instead of giving up their jobs and settling in a new city altogether.

Additionally, the program assures a higher return on your investment. Once you add the degree to your resume, you become eligible for better career opportunities. This automatically means, the chances of you getting a better job are higher. Admissions to the executive MBA program at SITM are also managed directly. Participants need to send in their applications directly. SITM will shortlist it based on the eligibility criteria and accordingly invite students for personal interview. The personal interview process is complicated and time consuming. But it has been designed in a manner to understand the temperament of the participant wanting to pursue the course and accordingly check his or her levels of interest. Post the final round of interview, the institute declares the final list of admitted students.
