Should you pick Executive MBA at IIM Sirmaur?

This course suits working managers who want AI skills and an IIM degree without leaving their job.

Pick it if:

You want AI skills for a manager's job, not coding: the course teaches generative AI, agentic AI and no-code automation next to finance and marketing.

You cannot leave your job: classes are live online on weekends, and you travel to Sirmaur only for the campus immersion once a year.

You have two years of work and want an IIM degree: two years is the entry bar here, and the degree and alumni status come from IIM Sirmaur itself.

You are paying the fee yourself: the full fee is INR 8.10 Lakhs, and the loan EMI tile shows about INR 13,657 a month over seven years.

Skip it if:

You want a large and old alumni network: IIM Sirmaur was set up in 2015, so its alumni base is young and small next to the older IIMs.

You want a campus placement drive: this course has no campus placement, and career help comes from the Futurense job board and mock interviews.

You plan to apply at the last minute: the form closes on 20 Sep 2026, and the test and the interview still have to fit in before classes start.

You need a sure room for every immersion: a twin-sharing room is given only if one is free, and meals are not included.

Counsellor's advice

If you have two or more years of work and cannot take leave on weekdays, apply before 20 Sep 2026. If a placement drive is what you want, pay nothing yet and look at a full-time MBA instead.

IIM Sirmaur: 1 Answered Question

What is the international immersion program at IIM Sirmaur?

Kushal MotwaniP.G.D.M in Master of Business Administration Degrees, Indian Institute of Management Indore (Graduated 2014)

This program recently initiated by IIM Sirmaur targets students who want International Exposure. It’s actually a rich blend of the IIM curriculum and added exposure to international business practices, strategic operations management, and current issues in the European markets.

The duration of the program is 1 month. The pedagogy comprises industry visits and weekend trips which facilitate classroom learning and help the students comprehend the context better.

For a better understanding, let me narrate my sister's experience. She flew to Milan, the fashion capital of the world. On the weekdays the entire focus was given to studying at SDA Bocconi and weekends were a getaway for traveling and exploring. She describes the teaching method as spectacular. The faculty was very experienced and highly learned and taught them to find the solutions to the toughest problem in the simplest and most systematic way. The industry visit to Ferrari and Maserati was the cherry on the cake. She was also able to explore Europe's famous places like Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Lugano Lake, Mont Brie, Genova, etc., and the marvelous architecture of Rome, Florence, and Pisa.

All in all, she claims that the experience of IIP broadened her mindset and perspective to see things from different dimensions. It provided a sense of self-development and made her realize that the world is filled with unlimited opportunities.
