DIRECTOR's
Message
distinctive feature of the New (National) Educational Policy
(NEP 2020) is multi-disciplinary education, a strategy that
Abrings together multiple disciplines to create a holistic
learning experience. Multi-disciplinarity promotes creative
thinking, critical analysis, collaboration, and communication skills
enabling the students to become well-rounded citizens better-
prepared for the future, on the strength of holistic development
achieved through exploring various facets of knowledge.
Further, NEP 2020 encourages inter-disciplinary studies (e.g.,
engineering/technology and management) across educational
institutions providing the students with greater exibility and
choice in their studies helping them gain new skills and
knowledge that they may not have the opportunity to acquire
otherwise, in their academic careers.
It is in this regard reputed Centrally Funded Technical Institutions
(CFTIs), all Institutions of National Importance (INIs), are coming
together to provide the BTech, MTech and MSc (Tech) students of
the Participating Technical Institutions (PTIs) to pursue the
prestigious IIMV MBA program, in a modular way.
Offered in an easy-to-pursue hybrid mode, the program will equip
the students with better capacities and competencies and thus
with wider choice of and more attractive career options.
IIMV places on record its gratitude to the PTIs, for their partnership
in this exciting endeavour, a unique initiative that contributes to a
brighter future for the students.

Message
elcome to the pioneering MBA Program, a
collaborative endeavour that began with
Wfour INIs from the region joining hands with
IIM Visakhapatnam for this unique and innovative
initiative. This program was designed to offer
engineering and technology students a seamless
pathway to integrate managerial skills into their
technical education.
We are proud to announce that 86 students and
alumni from the initial lot of partner PTIs joined the
inaugural batch and are already beneting from the
program. These participants have embraced the
opportunity to enhance their career prospects and
develop into future techno-managerial leaders.
Building on the success of our inaugural batch, we
are excited to expand the scope of the program this
year by including other NITs and IIITs across the
country. This expansion will bring geographical
diversity to the cohort, enriching the learning
environment.
Join us in this transformative journey and become
part of a program that equips you with both technical
prociency and strategic managerial skills.
