In a short period of time, IMT Hyderabad has built strong industry goodwill. The institute engages with members of the corporate world at several levels:
- Advice in course and curriculum development
- Co-delivering courses along with the faculty members
- Consulting projects and research opportunities
- Guiding students on projects
- Networking
Practitioners and business leaders play an integral part in course development and delivery at IMT Hyderabad. This is to ensure that the courses being offered are relevant and updated to meet the current as well as future needs of the business world.
