IIM Rohtak Indian Institute of Management, Rohtak - Course & Fees Details

The certificate courses offered by IIMs, including IIM Rohtak, have several benefits. 

These include-

1. High credibility of the IIM brand.
2. These courses are specifically tailored as per the industry needs.
3. These courses provide quality training in a specific area.

IIMs follow industry based curriculum to prepare students according to the current industry demands. Such courses are beneficial for corporate growth. 

Thus, a certificate course from IIM Rohtak will be highly beneficial for you.

EFPM is an executive doctoral program of IIM Rohtak. It is suitable for people who are interested in conducting research in the field of Management.

Some things to know about this program are

• The faculty is young in some areas with very less experience.
• This is not a degree certification but just a title of Fellow of IIM-Rohtak as per the new IIM Act.
• You will face many administrative challenges. 
• All the pedagogy is digital. Be it books, cases, or even lectures. This is not very helpful for people who lack technical skills.

So before finally opting for the course make sure you keep these points in mind.

My cousin recently completed the HR Analytics course from IIM Rohtak. He claims that the curriculum and the pedagogy are amazing and its highlight was the final visit to the campus prior to the completion of the course.

This course is suitable if 

• If you already are working somewhere and have enough experience 
• If you have completed your regular studies and are just looking for a program to advance your career

This course is not suitable if 

• You have enough time and potential for higher studies
• You are not planning to work in the near future 

In either case, it’s better if you go for a regular program than a part-time correspondence course.

 

Even though all IIMs have converted their PGP and EPGP programs into MBA degrees, IIM Rohtak continues to offer Post Graduate Diplomas. Companies do not regard this program as an MBA qualification. It is regarded as a Diploma course from IIM Rohtak, a step down from the two-year EPGP or PGP. Candidates who complete this course are not eligible to pursue a Ph.D., FPM (or even EFPM) from any IIM (including IIM Rohtak). 

Fees for a one-year online program are also extremely high. All IIM MBA programs are now GST-free, but IIM Rohtak continues to charge fees that are "inclusive of taxes" even though there aren't any (if the course is truly an EPGP/PGP). Businesses would place a higher value on two-year PGP or EPGP programs, like the one offered by IIM Kozhikode.

ePGPX and PGPX are extremely difficult-to-use programs. Most top business schools have experimented with the format, with mixed results. Not everything has gone well for them. The following variables are dependent on the success of the PGPX and ePGPX formats:

• The minimum number of years in business school is ten. ISB Hyderabad is an exception because they have only focused on the PGPX format of the program since its inception.
• A very strong alum base thus supports placements because placements in these programs are typically lateral in nature.
• A very strong faculty base with international or very rich corporate exposure to support the program.
• A rich and varied corporate immersion program to aid in the successful integration of the program's participants and sponsors (SP JAIN does well here).
• Then, to top it all off, a robust infrastructure.

For the aforementioned program, you can enroll in any institution that you believe meets the criteria above.

Comparing IIM Indore’s program to IIM Rohtak, there is a simple conclusion- IIM Indore is better than IIM Rohtak in almost every aspect.

Similarly, IIM Indore's IPM course is better in every case scenario. This is because of

• Older campus
• Better faculty
• Better connectivity with the industry
• Better global image
• The credibility of the course is far better
• Better Alumni network
• Better competition
• Stronger brand name
• Better location
• Better placements

These are some parameters on which IIM Indore has an upper hand over IIM Rohtak. Also IIM Rohtak overall has lost its rankings over the past few years due to various controversies. So it’s best you don’t risk your career and go for IIM Indore instead.
