- The 11-month executive-friendly programme will be held in online mode on weekends, with a campus immersion programme at IIM Kashipur
Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kashipur and Zenith Railway Academy has announced the launch of an executive management programme for modern-day railway professionals. The 11-month ‘Executive Post Graduate Certificate in Rail Management’ Programme has been designed to equip professionals and executives with the expertise and managerial acumen.
The programme will commence on 27th January 2024. Interested candidates with a degree in any discipline with a minimum of 50 per cent marks and at least two years of professional experience can register.
In the recent union budget, the outlay for the railways has grown by nine times the amount provided in 2013-2014, which is being utilised to fund railway digitisation initiatives, track modernisation and build a high-speed rail network in the country. Also, massive expansion projects are going on around the world in railway networks.
Metro rail projects, Gati Shakti initiatives, dedicated freight corridor projects, Vande Bharat and encouragement for multi-modal transport projects are resulting in the need for trained professionals.
The programme will be executive-friendly to suit the schedules of working professionals. The classes will be held on weekends for 150+ learning hours. It will also have a component of the campus immersion programme with a 3-day visit to the IIM Kashipur campus.
“The objective of the programme is to provide the participants with a platform to enhance their knowledge base and hone their skills and competencies to grow higher in their careers. The innovative approach of the programme, need-based curriculum, data-driven approach and experienced faculty will deliver an integrated learning experience that is powerful enough to impact the managerial career of the participants positively”, Kunal K Ganguly, Professor and Dean (Development), IIM Kashipur, said.
