SOME OF OUR ESTEEMED RECRUITERS
In recent years our students have been recruited by a broad range of companies, including:
Entrepreneurship as a career option
On-campus start-up incubator
Not every student aims for a job after graduation - some are ready to launch their own
ventures. ITM’s On-Campus Start-Up Incubator offers the tools, support, and resources needed
to turn start-up ideas into reality. Instead of the 5-month internship, students can choose
to focus on building their own business.
With access to talent across Tech, Design, Finance, and Supply Chain, incubatees can
collaborate and grow their ideas. Events like hackathons, masterclasses, boot camps, and
start-up yatras help transform concepts into fully developed ventures.
Incubation process
Idea
Interested students develop an idea for a product or service and document it.
Pitch
Ideas are developed into a business plan and presented to an internal committee. If the idea has merit and is selected, it moves to the next stage.
Prototype Support
Students get support from faculty and industry mentors to build a prototype.
Incubation
At this stage, the idea matures into a business and takes anywhere between 3 to 6 months to develop its metrics and profitability.
Funding
ITM Business School has set up a seed fund of INR 10,000,000 to fund qualifying start-ups within the incubator. Angel investment and VC networking opportunities are provided, too.
Degree Awarded
On successful completion of the program you will be awarded the degree of “Master of Business Administration”, by ITM Skills University, a UGC approved, Private Skills University incorporated under the Government of Maharashtra.
Life on Campus
Located in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, a vibrant "Smart City" and key financial center. Our
technologically advanced campus provides a modern, Wi-Fi-enabled, eco-friendly environment that
is perfect for both academic and personal development.
We’ve recently upgraded the campus with interactive, air-conditioned classrooms, video
conferencing facilities, a well-equipped auditorium, and specialized labs. Students also have
access to the latest software tools and digital libraries to support their studies.
Our campus features open green spaces, an amphitheater, and on-campus hostel facilities,
encouraging a vibrant student life. These resources support academic learning and
extracurricular activities, helping students grow in every aspect.
Eligibility and How to Apply
To apply for the MBA 𝒊Connect program, candidates need a bachelor’s degree from any UGC-recognized University and at least 50% marks in the qualifying examination (Graduation). Final-year students are also eligible to apply.
Program Fee
At ITM Business School we recognize that your MBA is an important investment and will work closely with you during the application process to find the best options to fund your program. You’ll start reaping the benefits of your degree quickly, resulting in an early return on your investment. You can download the fee schedule, here.
Apply for a Scholarship
At ITM Business School, we believe every student should have a fair chance, no matter
their background. That’s why we offer scholarships to talented students who have
achieved something special - whether academically, socially, culturally or personally-
and who may not have the financial means to afford the MBA iConnect program.
These scholarships can cover part or all of the academic fees, depending on the decision
of the Scholarship Committee. To apply, students must have scored at least 60% in their
10th, 12th, and undergraduate studies. Students still in college, who have completed two
years with an average of 60%, can also apply.
To qualify, students must take the iSET test, which checks skills in Aptitude, Logical
Reasoning, Verbal Ability, and Data Interpretation. One week after the test, the list of
students eligible for scholarships will be announced.
To receive the scholarship, those selected must also complete the admission process, including a
Case Analysis round and Personal Interview. Over 2,000 students take the test each year, and
scholarships worth ₹2 Crore are awarded to deserving candidates (based on meeting merit
criteria).
