IIM Indore to Go To the Middle East with GMPE Course
IIM Indore will be expanding to the Middle East with its GMPE course. The course will be a comprehensive programme of 22 days that will be completed in eight months.
The Indian Institute of Management, Indore is going to the Middle East once more about four years after shutting down its offshore campus that was located in Dubai. The institute will go with a course named General Management Programme for Executives (abbreviated as GMPE) this time. Ananya Mishra, the media coordinator of IIM Indore, said that the institute will offer the GMPE course in association with Anisuma Training Institute situated in Dubai. The GMPE is a flagship executive course which is a 22-day comprehensive programme that will be completed in eight months.
The officials at IIM Indore spoke about the programme and said that it is designed uniquely to create strong conceptual frameworks in the field of business and management skills. It is a judicious mixture of group discussions and networking via classroom contact and practical frameworks that can be applied at the workplace.

The programme is to be delivered on Friday and Saturday each month, on the pre-announced dates in Dubai. The last module of the programme, which will be for five days, will be conducted at the campus of IIM Indore.
IIM Indore had introduced its study centre in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at Ras-al-Khaimah (RAK) in 2011, offering the course of PGPMX. It also introduced the PGP course in the next year, which made it the only IIM to have gone abroad with the main common programme of IIMs. however, the institute did not get the response from students that they had wished for.
The institute shifted its centre to Dubai in 2014, expecting to attract more students in the commercial capital of the UAE but they failed here as well. The government of the UAE also pushed the centre on the verge of shutting down by asking the appointment of full-fledged non-teaching and teaching staff of IIM Indore at the Dubai centre.
