  "account": "IIM Visakhapatnam has commenced admissions for its fourth cohort of the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) programme, designed for working professionals. The two-year course encompasses more than 740 hours of executive learning, an AI-driven curriculum, and two five-day campus immersion sessions. Additionally, there is an optional three-day Global Learning Innovation Bootcamp in partnership with DCAC, Denmark, which provides exposure to Nordic business practices and environments. IIM Visakhapatnam's Director, M. Chandrasekhar, emphasized the need for professionals to cultivate managerial depth, digital fluency, and resilience to adapt to evolving technological and market landscapes. The curriculum covers fundamental management subjects, electives, and a capstone project. To be eligible, applicants must possess a bachelor's degree and have a minimum of three years of full-time work experience at an officer or executive level or higher. Admission is determined by a composite score from the EMAT exam and a personal interview. Those with valid CAT, GRE, or GMAT scores may be exempt from the EMAT requirement.",
