FROM THE DESK OF THE DEAN

Welcome to Quality Management Education Experience at IMT Centre for Distance Learning, Ghaziabad.
These are unnerving times for higher education in India. Academic institutions are struggling with cut throat
competition internally and externally. Employers are finding little value in the degrees and certificates of
students. Evolution and Revolution in technology is much faster now. The fact remains India is facing huge
unmet demand for higher education and insufficient seats at Institutes of higher learning. Research findings
suggest students pursuing higher education shall double by 2025 which will further constrain our capacity to
reach the objective - “no one is left behind”. Distance Learning alone can help us overcome it. There is a
public backlash against rising tuition and student debt which cannot be overcome by establishing
conventional educational institutions but by distance learning systems.

We at IMT believe in the philosophy “whom do we serve” and how well we can reach out to those who can’t
afford expensive education. IMT CDL provides the best non-traditional experience in management and
business education having been recognised, as a world class Indian institute. The time pressure and life’s
demand make it harder for a working professional to develop managerial skills through conventional
institutions. As the work place becomes increasingly challenging and competitive in the 21st century, the right
management education and qualification has become a crucial success factor for working professionals. IMT
Centre for Distance Learning (IMT CDL) is the most apt answer to meet the management education
requirements of working professionals. The state-of-the-art infrastructure at IMT CDL enables the learners to
experience world class management education with ease and flexibility and without the need to remain away
from work. The vast digital repository of high quality management lectures by our distinguished faculty,
proctored examinations, assignments, a large digital library and an advanced learning platform ensure an
enriching and effective learning process.

Also, free and optional subject mentoring available for all learners is a great facility for working executives to
successfully complete and acquire a premium management qualification from IMT CDL. It is also heartening
to note that IMT CDL has been ranked #1 in various recent surveys on distance education in the country.
It is an opportunity to join several thousand alumni who reposed their confidence and rose to greater heights
on the ladder of their professional career. I invite you and assure you of achieving your learning goals. Our
Journey for over three decades is a testimony that we have kept our promises all through.
