NIIT, Asia's largest IT trainer, today announced its entry into Management Education with the launch of a new institute-NIIT Imperia. The institute will set up Centres for Advanced Learning that will offer programmes from the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) at Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Indore, to working executives, using synchronous learning technology.

Synchronous Learning technology enables remote classrooms to be connected live with the faculty teaching at institutes. The usage of dedicated broadband with two-way audio-video, and special software, replicates face-to-face teaching.

NIIT Imperia will offer long and short-term programmes in general and functional management to working executives. While the content, teaching and certification will be from one of the IIMs, the technology, synchronous classrooms across the country and the management of the distributed education system will be provided by NIIT.

NIIT will also integrate its Learning Management and e-learning systems with this technology, and implement and manage the overall student experience.

NIIT Imperia was launched by NIIT Chairman Rajendra S. Pawar at a glittering function held in the capital today. While Professor Bakul Dholakia, Director, IIM Ahmedabad, inaugurated the Synchronous Classroom, Professor Shekhar Chaudhuri, Director, IIM Calcutta, released the Programmes of Study. Participating at the function through web-presence, IIM Indore Director, Professor S. P. Parashar inaugurated the studio facility at IIM Indore.
