Program Overview
The PGDM Dual Country Program (DCP) at IMT Ghaziabad is a distinctive two-year, full-time residential program designed for students seeking a truly global management education. The program enables students to study across two countries, combining IMT Ghaziabad’s strong management foundation with academic exposure at IMT Dubai campus.
Unlike conventional international immersion models, the DCP is structured as an integrated academic journey. Students gain exposure to diverse business environments, teaching approaches, and cultural contexts, preparing them to operate confidently in global and cross-border roles.
Why Dual Country Program
True Dual-Country Academic Experience
Students complete the program across two IMT campuses in India and Dubai, gaining sustained academic exposure rather than short-term international visits. The dual-country structure allows students to study, live, and learn in two distinct business and cultural environments, offering deeper immersion into global markets. This experience helps students develop adaptability, global awareness, and the confidence to operate across geographies in real-world professional settings.

Classroom discussions, case studies, and group projects reflect global business contexts, enabling students to appreciate multiple perspectives. This exposure strengthens cross-cultural collaboration, communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in diverse, multicultural teams.

Curriculum Experience
The PGDM DCP curriculum is designed to provide both management depth and global breadth. Students begin with core management courses that build a strong foundation in business fundamentals. As they transition to the international partner institution, they engage with global business modules, regional market perspectives, and applied learning in a foreign academic environment. This dual exposure enables students to understand how management practices vary across regions while developing the ability to operate across regulatory, cultural, and business contexts.
