A total of 73 students have joined IIM-Bangalore EPGP this year of which 10 per cent were female students. The average work experience of the cohort is seven years, with minimum experience of 5 and a maximum of 11 years, the institute informed.
About 85 per cent of the students are from an engineering background. Majority of students are from private sector followed by the public sector, government, and NGOs. The manufacturing sector (14 students) dominates the current cohort.
“This is the era of sustainability, responsibility, and how we give back to society. It is time we shift from a traditional form of learning to innovative learning. We should be adaptive to change, share knowledge, and be courageous to fight the odds,” she added.
Rajat Mathur, Principal at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and EPGP alumnus, also addressed the batch through video conferencing and said, “As you transit from a professional to a student, it is time to unlearn and innovatively relearn some lessons with an open mind. Create a competitive advantage for yourself by identifying your differentiating skills and play on them to step up. Leverage your strengths and skills and collaborate with your classmates to solve organizational problems. Do not let biases from your past affect your learning. As a leader, you will be projected as an epitome of ethics. You not only represent yourself but the brand too.”
