IIM Shillong and the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences today signed an MoU to start a post-graduate executive diploma in business management and law (PGexDBL). The MoU was signed in the presence of Chief Minister Dr Mukul Sangma, Prof A K Dutta, founding director of IIM Shillong, and Prof Dr M P Singh, Vice Chancellor of WBNUJS.

The philosophy of the program is centred around preparing participants to earn a professional qualification in business management and law by virtue of gaining in-depth understanding of various concepts in the area.

"While combined business management and law studies has proved to be a great success in Western countries like Germany, there is yet to be such kind of a unique initiative in India. This course will come handy for judicial officers and managers," remarked Prof Dutta after signing of the MoU. The program which is scheduled to commence later this year would be of 15-month duration. Sangma exhorted academic institutions to reinvent learning by adopting an innovative approach and congratulated the two institutions on the collaborative pact.
