In 1993 the Department was brought into existence by amendment to IIT(D) statutes under the leadership of the then Head Prof. Vinayshil Gautam. Clearly, the Department responds to a felt need of the Indian Industry and derives satisfaction from its heavy field orientation in all its curriculum activity. In response to the feedback from the students, alumni and industry, the Department of Management Studies launched MBA programmes in 1997.

The Department currently runs a two year full time MBA programme with focus on Management Systems, a two year full time MBA with focus on Telecommunication Systems Management under the aegis of Bharti School of Telecom Technology and Management and a three year part time MBA programme with focus on Technology Management. Apart from the specialised compulsory courses in the focus area, the students have choice for functional area specialization in finance, marketing, operations, information technology, HR etc.

MBA program in IIT- Delhi is designed keeping in mind the changes in business environment and the need of the industry. Our academic program is comparable to the best that are available in the world class business schools for creating managers to face the new challenges of the ever changing market environment. The entire course aims at creating holistic managers trained by a very eminent faculty which is also supported by the experienced professionals as external faculty from India and abroad. The students are admitted through a rigorous screening process under JMET comprising of an admission test, group discussion and interview. The entry level qualification required for admission is either graduate engineers or Post Graduate in Science and Commerce with first class.

We therefore expect that our graduates will score much better in comparison to the graduates from other institutions in terms of their knowledge and skill to deliver superior performance. It is our constant endeavor to extend industry association and interaction to ensure further enrichment of academic content for the overall benefit of the industry, in particular and the society in general.

Along with the functional areas of specialization, the students also get a cross functional perspective.
