How is the ePGPx program of IIM Rohtak? Is it better to go for EFPM than ePGPx from IIM Rohtak?

The ePGPx program is a 1-year diploma program from IIM Rohtak, not to be confused with MBA or other executive programs. It is an intense course where you need to have at least 100 contact hours (20 days) on the campus and the remaining is online.

The course curriculum is quite rigorous and does not make you feel like it's an executive one as the modules and professors are the same with a blended approach of both offline and online classes.

One of my friends is about to complete this course at IIM Rohtak and here’s what he has to say:

• You will be amidst the challenging campus modules that give you the feel of IIMs and real-world management culture.
• You will get eminent professors that are hands-on and drive the curiosity of thought.
• You can enjoy the huge and lush new campus (largely being constructed) with good hostels if you get a chance to stay.
• ePGPx emphasizes first-hand learning of general management concepts making it absolutely helpful for you to enter and survive in the corporate world.
• The current fee structure and flexibility of classes from anywhere in contrast to other IIMs make it a great choice for many people who live far away.
• Unfortunately, if campus placements are your priority, the course doesn’t provide it yet.

All in all, ePGPx at IIM Rohtak is quite a comprehensive learning experience. Since it’s the only IIM in the NCR region growing at a fast pace, it’s a good idea to be a part of the campus. However, the major downside lies with the fact that they don’t provide placement for this course, hence, choose wisely.
