Pimpri: A batch of PGDM/MBA students of Audyogik Shikshan Mandal (ASM) Group of Institutes, Pune were presented certificates on completion of the eight-week IIMBx course conducted by IIM-Bangalore recently.

The students also got an opportunity to interact with the senior faculty at IIM-Bangalore.

ASM's IBMR has a tie-up with IIM-Bangalore where students get an opportunity to do IIMBx digital course through ASM, Pune. This is an eight-week digital course which gives students an edge over other PGDM/MBA students, as it gives them access to IIM faculty, interactive webinars and class sessions besides better insights on specific subjects like marketing, HR & finance, etc. This equips the students with better skills and knowledge regarding the actual working of the industry.

Majority of the students taking up IIMBx digital course have already been placed in well-known companies.

Dr Sandeep Pachpande, who is the chairman, ASM said, "Tie-ups with renowned institutes like IIM-Bangalore in the digital mode, gives our students the flexibility and bigger options to choose from. Which, in turn, helps them to pursue their career ambitions with physical presence not being an obstacle. We have more such associations with globally renowned institutes and companies - Harvard Business School online, IBM & SAP ensuring holistic learning and industry readiness of our students."

Prof. P D Jose, Chairman, IIMBx, said "The IIMBx ASM partnership is unique as we are taking some bit of the higher IIMBx experience to students who otherwise might not have access to it. It allows IIMBx to scale up its activities and work with individual institutes to improve the overall quality of education as not many have access to similar resources or faculty."
