Learning becomes real when it opens the mind and enables it to question. That is when Learning becomes transformative. This belief has led us at IIMT to evolve a pedagogy that seeks to not only develop skills and clarity of concepts but also work on students’ perspectives and their belief systems. The learning process at IIMT includes academic sessions in various domains; Integrated learning which weaves various disciplines to develop a holistic perspective; experiential sessions and practices to develop personal mastery and action learning, including both live projects and leadership practice through student quality circles.
Simulation of business environment through management games, use of psychometric instruments, role-plays, case studies, films, group discussions make learning purposeful and effective.
We believe in the importance of classroom learning, but also emphasize on activities beyond the conventional classroom. The classroom sessions are supplemented by corporate sessions, guest lectures, field sessions, Industry visits, live projects, workshops and many such activities which ensure that the student remains in touch with the corporate environment and learns the practical applications of the acquired knowledge.
The transformation of “Managers under Training” (That’s how we address our PGPM/MBA students) into thought leaders who can give direction and inspiration to all is a process in itself. This requires the integration of leadership with student development, focusing on ethical practices, strategic thinking and above all understanding one’s own true potential. We at IIMT believe that “Managers under Training” need to be ready to face a dynamic and fluctuating business environment. For this we have rigorous academic modules focused on providing a balance of conceptual and practical learning.

We believe that Value Education should form an integral part of entire education system and Management studies cannot be exception for it. We know that life in coming decades is likely to bring new tensions together with unprecedented opportunities. To enable the people to benefit in the new environment will require new designs of human resource development. We are experimenting at our institute, the IDEAS, which enable the coming generation of Managers to have the ability to internalize the fresh air of development constantly and creatively.
IIMT also believes that Education has an acculturating role. It refines sensitivities and perceptions that contribute to national cohesion, a scientific temper and independence of mind and spirit-thus furthering not only the goal of Economic and Industrial development of the country, but also the goals of socialism, secularism and democracy enshrined in our constitution.
We, at IDEA, make it sure that the psychological concepts of learning are incorporated into the Management Education so that maximum capability may be achieved by the future Managers.
