The EPGP comprises 750 hours of instruction delivered via an Interactive Learning (IL) platform, complemented by three intensive campus immersion modules. This format allows learners to pursue rigorous academic advancement without interrupting their careers. The curriculum offers a comprehensive blend of core courses – including Accounting, Marketing, Operations, Finance, Strategy, and Human Resources – alongside cutting-edge electives such as International Business, Digital Transformation, and Corporate Accountability.
The programme employs a dynamic pedagogical approach, combining lectures, case studies, white papers, simulations, assignments, presentations, and live projects led by IIMK’s esteemed faculty and seasoned industry practitioners.

The EPGP, designed for innovation, transformative leadership and advanced career acceleration, combines the flexibility of online interactive learning with the immersive experience of in-campus modules.
