If you are caught up in your career & not in a position to take a break for upgrading your skills, this programme from IIMK is a God sent gift for you!!
The rigour & the tone for this program is set even before the course starts, from the entrance exam, which is followed up with the best in class course content & the best of the faculty. What impressed me the most was the alignment of the course to our professional work experiences & the effort gone into integrating what we do at work and what we learn in the class - a clear advantage for working executives. This course clearly reorients one's ways of looking at things professionally and pushes one to look at the big picture without losing sight of the small one(s). On the course delivery front, Hughes certainly deserves a "hats off" for making the virtual class rooms as good as the real one - from the ambience of the HGE centre, the quality of the hardware & accessories to the quality of transmission live from the IIMK campus to across the country!
Kudos to the Hughes Global Education team!

"ePGP at IIMK with Hughes allowed me to fulfill my dream of enrolling and acheiving a MBA without leaving my current job. The overall course has given me an excellent learning experience, transforming me from a pure Technical person to someone who now understands the entire business scenario and environment. Hughes, which provides and supports the technology to deliver classes remotely provides the ability for students to attend classes from any of the centers through its widespread network across india. This gives the comfort factor. The classroom type atmosphere in the center allows you to interact among participants. The Center services especially at Begumpet, Hyderabad is very good in terms of Infrastructure, Essentials, Computers and Problems if any are attended immediately. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn Business Administration without leaving their current job."
