“Even while I was learning about miss from the faculty, the books and discussions at IMT CDL

June 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Priyanka Sehgal is a classic example of the growing numbers of IMT CDL alumni for whom the best distance learning program of the country, IMT CDL, was not a matter of compulsion, but of choice. As a matter of fact, Priyanka had converted the regular PGDM program of IMT, after having scored quite well in her CAT exams. She even began her regular classes, but realised very soon that she did not want to quit her job. Priyanka also found the travelling - all the way from Janakpuri to Ghaziabad, and back – impossibly tiring. She quickly shifted to the contact program of IMT, and began taking the regular evening classes at Connaught Place, New Delhi. This too was not the way forward for her, as she would reach back home very late in the night. It was at this point that she decided to explore DLP or Distance Learning Programs. The feedback she got from her colleagues and friends was that when it comes to Distance Learning Programs, IMT CDL is unbeatable.

“The feedback regarding IMT CDL was amazing. IMTCDL had 3-4 hours of weekend classes with a dedicated, regular faculty, whereas most of the other DLP’s had about an hour long interaction with faculty from their other programs being pulled out on an ad hoc basis. Over and above, the syllabus of IMT CDL looked thoroughly professional, with a lot of stress on industry applications. Clearly IMTCDL was the only DLP which had a system in place. I was really impressed by the fact, that while other DLP’s seemed to wash their hands of their students by handing out objective question papers which are easier from the scoring and evaluation perspectives, IMTCDL tested us with proper subjective type question papers, which is a serious form of assessment.”

Today, Priyanka Sehgal wears the multiple hats of Director, Strategic Planning of Fireball India, one of the best known 360-degrees security solutions provider of the country, and the Director, Strategic Planning, OSSIM – the famed security training institute born out of an Indo-British joint venture – a partner organisation of Fireball India. Priyanka feels that not a day goes by when the learning at IMTCDL does not come handy to her.

“I’ve been with this organization for the last 12 years. Every month, every year we land new projects. We get the directions from the top management, and are handed our new team, after which it is entirely upto us to make out own project plans and manage our projects. Being a part of the IMTCDL alumni has helped me like anything. Infact, even while I was learning about MIS (Management Information System) through the faculty, the books and discussions at IMTCDL, I had the opportunity of implementing almost real-time at work. Even today, when I go across for a presentation to my customers, I find that the name of IMT is synonymous with management expertise.”
