We normally cover only established institutions from which at least 5 batches have graduated but we always keep an eye out for interesting and unique stuff. In any case, Executive programmes even at old IIMs are fairly new. Team InsideIIM believes that this is a promising programme with a good focus. A small batch size is an added advantage.
Only time will tell how the programme does as and when it scales up further.
