Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Visakhapatnam

The Post Graduate Program in Digital Governance and Management (PGP-DGM), leading to the award of Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree was launched by the Indian Institute of Management Visakhapatnam (IIMV) in 2019. This program was launched under the aegis of the National e-Governance Division (NeGD), Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Govt. of India (GOI).

The Program is spread over 2 years in 4 semesters. The Program is offered in blended learning mode with a judicious combination of traditional and virtual class-room modes. This is in tune with the importance and rising trend of such (on-line) programs being offered by educational institutions. Blended-mode of course delivery addresses the constraints of working professionals in having to be away from work for extended duration which is necessitated due to fully on-campus, residential programs. The Program is designed for an immersive and active learning experience for participants. The selected candidates will be required to complete the Domestic component as well as the International component. In addition, participants would be required to carry out a Capstone Project of practical importance, with potential for implementation in the Digital Governance & Management space.

Government and private organizations, alike, are placing immense faith in the value of digital technologies towards efficient and effective delivery of products and services. Government is particularly focused on transforming India digitally. The DG&M Programme, focuses on building the capacity of experienced professionals towards being an expert in this high-demand field of expertise.
