What is the nature of your collaboration with Edinburgh University, UK?
We have an arrangement with Edinburgh University by which we conduct the University’s distance learning programme on management. Besides, we also have an exclusive alliance with FT Knowledge, the financial training arm of the Financial Times, London, to conduct its online programmes. The deal was struck last year and we have launched this recently.
At whom are the financial training courses targeted?
They are targeted at working people, those who want some value addition (to their skills) and who want to rebuild their careers.
What are your future plans?
We are going to launch a new institute in New Delhi. The admission process will begin in November or December this year.
Will there be any difference in the kind of courses to be conducted at your Delhi campus as compared to those offered at ISBM, Pune?
The PG Diploma (programme) offered here will focus on the retail industry, financial services and insurance. This will have a sectoral focus. Later we plan to launch these programmes at our Pune campus as well.
