The MBAEx programme fulfils the criteria to be considered as MBA as per global accreditation organisations and features in
the coveted 'Global MBA Ranking'. The programme is of international repute and competes in the one-year MBA section of
global rankings viz. Financial Times. Moreover, IIM Act also encourages the Institute to compete globally.
The programme has been continuing since 2006, and over the years, an integrated course package for this programme has
been developed and updated annually. The students come with diverse work experience from various backgrounds and
industries, making peer learning much more nuanced than a regular MBA programme. Several notable alumni of this
programme are placed in leadership positions in various organisations.
Graduating students and new applicants to the programme may note that IIM Calcutta is engaged with the Ministry of
Education (MoE) and other IIMs to address the concerns of the MoE related to the programme. Being fully owned by the
Government of India as an institute of eminence, IIM Calcutta has sought the Ministry's support in running its best-positioned
programmes. The final status of the certificate (Degree or Diploma) will be contingent on the outcome of the deliberations
with the Ministry.
