IPE opens PGDM admissions, EU Day boosts India tech ties
The Story in Brief
The Institute of Public Enterprise in Hyderabad has opened admissions for its two-year full-time PGDM programmes for the 2027-29 batch, offering scholarships of up to Rs 6 lakh. The EU, in collaboration with IIIT Delhi, organised an EU Day on ICT to strengthen India-EU education ties, with EU Ambassador Jean-Eric Paquet delivering the keynote.
IIM Bangalore celebrated its 53rd Foundation Day and concluded summer placements for its PGP and PGPBA 2026-28 cohorts, with recruiters including Accenture Strategy, Deloitte, HSBC Bank and Microsoft. Management Development Institute Gurugram hosted Urban Illumina 2026, a market research festival. LPU has opened registrations for LPUNEST 2027, with the test held from January 10 to February 25 and the deadline for applications on January 15. SRM Institute of Science and Technology has opened applications for SRMJEE 2027 across multiple campuses, including Kattankulathur and Delhi-NCR.
Affle 3i has announced the Kedia Doctoral Research Scholarship at IIIT Hyderabad, funding one PhD scholar annually for 20 years. The University of Sheffield and the University of Strathclyde are inviting applications for engineering and science programmes starting in September 2027, with IELTS requirements.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Institute of Public Enterprise’s scholarships, capped at Rs 6 lakh, will partially offset costs for students enrolling in its PGDM programmes, though the full fee structure is not disclosed, so affordability remains an open question. The University of Sheffield and Strathclyde attract Indian applicants with deadlines in August 2027, leaving ample time for preparation. LPU and SRM’s entrance tests, scheduled from January 2027, compress the decision window for engineering aspirants. The EU’s outreach, via IIIT Delhi, may shift some Indian talent flow to Europe if scholarships match expectations. IIM Bangalore’s summer placement outcomes, led by top recruiters, signal current market confidence in its 2026-28 cohorts. Affle 3i’s 20-year commitment at IIIT Hyderabad will fund one PhD annually, a narrow pipeline for fields like AI and cybersecurity.
