The Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad has opened admissions for its General Management Programme aimed at mid- to senior-level professionals from the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe.

The eight-month executive program is approved by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai and is open to applicants from the Middle East, GCC countries, Europe, India, and South Asia.

The program will be delivered through 100 blended sessions, combining online learning with case-based teaching. Participants will also undergo a 10-day on-campus immersion at IIM Ahmedabad’s Dubai and Ahmedabad campuses.

The curriculum focuses on building leadership capabilities, business acumen, and decision-making skills, with coverage of areas such as organizational effectiveness, innovation, operations, and digital strategy.

Announcing the 24th batch, Sunil Sharma, Dean, IIMA Dubai Campus, said the program brings the institute’s case-based learning approach to a global cohort.

"Through the General Management Programme, we bring IIM Ahmedabad's case-based rigor to a cohort working across the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. Participants sharpen their judgment, strengthen execution, and learn to lead through uncertainty, supported by digital-first teaching and immersive modules in Dubai and Ahmedabad. We have designed the curriculum to translate strategy into measurable outcomes for organizations and societies today," Sharma said.
