Q12. What is the recognition of the course in industry? Is it approved by AICTE/UGC?
Ans: The certificate awarded by ITM EEC for XMBA and SMBA is well recognized by Industry and public in India. There is no model for formal recognition of week-end only programs, either by AICTE or UGC, and the program is certainly not a Distance Education program. The Certificates are jointly awarded by ITM and SNHU, with original signature of SNHU President on the certificate. ITM is not affiliated to any Indian University.
