It is not a UGC or AICTE-recognised degree programme. The certificate carries significant industry recognition as a credential from one of India’s premier IIMs. It is best suited for working professionals who want to upskill in supply chain and operations management, rather than those seeking a formal degree for academic progression.

Ans. Classes are conducted live online every Sunday, making the programme compatible with a full-time work schedule. The programme also includes a structured on-campus immersion at IIM Kashipur, giving participants direct interaction with faculty and fellow professionals from diverse industries. All live sessions are typically recorded so that participants can revisit key concepts and module recordings at their own pace during the week.

Participants can also opt for an EMI plan of 6, 9 or 12 months with applicable processing charges. Employer or organisational sponsorship is a commonly used route for fee payment for this executive programme.

Ans. The programme requires a minimum of 2 years of post-qualification professional work experience. Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s degree or a Diploma (10+2+3) from a recognised university in any discipline. No minimum marks in the qualifying examination are required. Candidates who fulfil the educational criteria but have slightly less than 2 years of experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of IIM Kashipur and Nulearn.
