From the desk of the Dean
Welcome to Quality Management Education Experience at IMT Centre for Distance Learning, Ghaziabad.
These are unnerving times for higher education in India. Academic institutions are struggling with cut
throat competition internally and externally. Employers are finding little value in the degrees and
certificates of students. Evolution and Revolution in technology is much faster now. The fact remains
India is facing huge unmet demand for higher education and insufficient seats at Institutes of higher
learning. Research findings suggest students pursuing higher education shall double by 2025 which will
further constrain our capacity to reach the objective - no one is left behind. Distance Learning alone
can help us overcome it.
There is a public backlash against rising tuition and student debt which cannot be overcome by
establishing conventional educational institutions but by distance learning systems. We at IMT believe in
the philosophy whom do we serve and how well we can reach out to those who cant afford expensive
education.
IMT CDL is the tier one non-traditional experience in management and business education having been
recognised, as a world class Indian institute. The time pressure and lifes demand make it harder for a
working professional to develop managerial skills through conventional institutions. As the work place
becomes increasingly challenging and competitive in the 21st century, the right management education
and qualification has become a crucial success factor for working professionals.
IMT Centre for Distance Learning (IMT CDL) is the most apt answer to meet the management education
requirements of working professionals. The state-of-the-art infrastructure at IMT CDL enables the
learners to experience world class management education with ease and flexibility and without the need
to remain away from work. The vast digital repository of high quality management lectures by our
distinguished faculty, proctored examinations, assignments, a large digital library and an advanced
learning platform ensure an enriching and effective learning process.
Also, free and optional subject mentoring available for all learners is a great facility for working executives
to successfully complete and acquire a premium management qualification from IMT CDL. It is also
heartening to note that IMT CDL has been ranked #1 in various recent surveys on distance education in
the country.
It is an opportunity to join several thousand alumni who reposed their confidence and rose to greater
heights on the ladder of their professional career. I invite you and assure you of achieving your learning
goals. Our Journey for over three decades is a testimony that we have kept our promises throughout.

Sample Admission Test
Nature of Test
The admission test is an objective type test (multiple choices). The test designed to measure a persons
general aptitude, namely:
Proficiency in English Language | Quantitative and Numerical Ability | Ability for Data Analysis and
Interpretation Reasoning and General Interpretation | Awareness of Socio-economic Environment
In almost all developing countries, the initial thrust of their respective trade policies was to foster domestic
industries whose production would replace imports. This was a natural and logical strategy, given that
import-substituting production could count on an existing known domestic demand, promised some
mitigation of national economic dependence, and could be protected easily from external competition
through high tariffs, quotas, or subsidies of various kinds. Which of the following, if true, would weaken the
strategy above?
A home tutor X has a daily routine. He provides his service to six students A, B, C, D, E and F on each day of
a week. He does not provide his service simultaneously to any two persons.
He has a fixed schedule for doing his work. One of the significant features of his schedule is that he starts
teaching his first student at 10 AM and teaches him for 30 minutes, He takes as many minutes in reaching
the next, again he teaches this student for 40 minutes and again takes as much time in reaching the third
student. In this way both his teaching time and reaching time go on increasing by 10 minutes for every
successive student. After teaching the last student he leaves for home. The time taken for homeward
journey is as much as in teaching the last student. Study the following clues and answer accordingly:
3. Who among the following is the last student of the day who Mr. X provides his services?
(A) D (B) E (C) C (D) F (E) A
