In an Instagram story, she thanked the teacher for coaching her for the entrance exams. Sharing a photo of her cutting the celebratory cake in the coaching institute, Navya wrote, “Thank you to IMS MBA Preparation for coaching me for the entrance exams. This is Prasad sir, who played the biggest hand in coaching and preparing me to crack the CAT/ICT entrance exams. One of the best teachers I have ever had the honour of learning from.”

The course that was launched earlier this year is a blended (hybrid) programme that combines on-campus, in-person sessions and live interactive online sessions. The programme is meant for a seasoned cohort of participants with a minimum experience of three years. This course is designed to allow students who are also working professionals and entrepreneurs to balance their work life and educational pursuits.
