IIM Rohtak collaborates with UpTop for ePGPx programme

IIM Rohtak has joined hands with UpTop, an ed-tech higher education platform, to offer ePGPx programme. ePGPx is a fused one-year postgraduate diploma programme in management for working professionals. The emphasis of the programme is on general management positioning and practical knowledge with importance on instilling leadership in confounding managerial circumstances. Under this partnership, UpTop will make learning judicious and available for every working professional looking to be industry appropriate. There is approximately 70 per cent of graduates with years of experience. But they are not able to apply for further jobs because firms require MBA/PG diploma holders. UpTop is working to assist such individuals by offering them placement assistance and IIM alumni status.

Each campus visit will continue for 6-7 days and will be conducted at the break of 3-4 months. There will be an overall 20 days of on-campus classes. On successful conclusion of the academic needs of the 1-year ePGPx programme, the students will be awarded the 'One Year Executive Post Graduate Diploma in Management'. IIM Rohtak alumni status will be given to all ePGPx graduates.
