Institute of Management
Technology was to deliver a few
lectures on economic psychology,
gave me the impression that the
student in this school were also
interested in the topic, and I found
them very intelligent, creative, as

During the course some of them
prepared shot presentations and

Special Features

The PGDM – IB Course has certain distinctive features that arise from the specific
requirements of the industry in this field

•Port Visits/Visits to Inland Container Depots – Visits to ports, airports, dry ports and inland
container depots are arranged to enable students to understand first hand the customs
procedures and formalities, the details of export/import documentations, the procedures for
cargo handling, warehousing, loading and shipment, etc.

•Foreign Languages – International business requires knowledge of various languages. Hence,

the regular students are provided opportunity to undergo a one year course in languages like
Spanish, French, German, etc. While this may not seem of much interest to exchange students,
it is simply an opportunity to find common ground with the residents of the campus, especially
those from the non-English speaking nations.

Some Experiences
“First of all, the theoretical models and courses gave me a good overview of international
business from a different outlook than the French point of view.
…
I learnt a lot on an academic point of view, but the cultural contribution was also considerable.
Living with Indian students on the campus multiplies the cultural interest of such an experience.
…
From a personal outlook, I developed adaptation skills to new ways of communication, of
working and living, which will be necessary in my future life. Aiming at an international career,
it will help me to perform better in my job.

I thank all the school and the students for this unforgettable experience.“
- Anne-Claire Coignard

“…a great experience. We have been very well welcomed and someone was always glad to help
us when we had some concerns. … opportunity of meeting many interesting people, dynamic
students, and brilliant professors as well. The courses were very interesting and provided me a
better understanding of our globalised and interconnected world. … has allowed me to more
clearly understanding my own culture in a global context.
For anyone with an open mind, who is looking for something different, I will highly
recommended BIMTECH.”
- Sarah Berger – Euromed Management
Settling in at BIMTECH
Buddy Programme: A student volunteer
from BIMTECH is assigned to each
exchange student as a „buddy‟. This helps
the exchange students get over the hurdles in
a new place with relative ease and also get
student inputs on courses etc. before their
arrival. The visiting students find the
students at BIMTCEH to be very friendly
and helpful.

Housing: Exchange students can be

accommodated in the students‟ hostel at the
Institute on request. Living on the campus,
apart from being convenient, facilitates easy
interaction with the regular MBA students
who are all required to stay at the hostel.
This however is the best part of your stay, as you shall soon find out!
Couple accommodation is not available on campus and given the workload it is advisable for the
student to come alone.
Each hostel room is equipped with a bed, mattress, curtains, study table and a chair.
Bathroom and toilet facilities are common for each flat. The bathroom and toilet facilities are
cleaned every day and every bathroom has a hot water facility.

Food: The student hostel has a mess where meals are provided. In addition, there is a coffee shop
and a cafeteria on campus.
The student mess however takes good care of most of your needs with the usual
breakfast/lunch/dinner plus snacks. The food is primarily Indian, which might prove to be a little
spicy for the typical exchange student. However, if you‟re used to Mexican food and you love
Mexican food, this shouldn‟t be a problem. Also, it is only in the first 3-4 days that you might
find it a bit spicy…. Most exchange students adapt very well after the first week.
And for a little change, you can also order pizza! Dominos, Pizza Hut, McDonald outlets deliver
to the campus.
.
Water: While it maybe advisable that you use Mineral Water during your first couple days at
BIMTECH, get used to the Water Filter at the campus. Some reliable mineral water brands are
Bisleri, Baileys, AquaFina and McKinley. ( Tip: get used to the water as fast as possible!)
Settling in at BIMTECH
Telephone: Every flat in a hostel has a telephone where students can receive calls. To make a
local/long-distance call, you will have to go to one of the telephone booths located within the
hostel blocks. These booths are usually open late into the night.
Interested students can also hire/buy a cell phone for their private use. Users typically have to pay
for outgoing calls. (Approx. rates: Rs. 1/min for outgoing calls. Rates vary depending upon the
plan chosen by subscriber.) (Tip: The Indian Cellular Telephony System uses GSM technology,
which is incompatible with cell phones in North America. While Europe also uses GSM
technology, please confirm compatibility of your cell phone with Indian Standards as different
frequencies are used in India.)

Internet Connectivity: All hostel rooms are wired up and allow access to the BIMTECH network.
However, the student has to make arrangements for his/her computer. One may bring along a
laptop from his/her country. However, when you bring your laptop along, please declare it at
Customs when entering the country. To get logged onto the network, one will have to contact the
Computer Center Helpdesk.

It is recommended that students bring along their laptops. This is to ensure that they are able to
stay on top of the required course work as well as have ready access to the study material handed
out by the professors, most of which is in digital form.

Safety: Greater Noida and vicinity is safe. However, as everywhere else in the world, you should
be careful with your wallet in the public places, buses and trains. It is highly recommended that
you take your buddy along with you or let them know where you are going while you get yourself
acquainted with the local language and the vicinity. Always carry your buddy‟s phone number and
BIMTECH emergency contact info with you.
