Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know


Is QUANTUM recognised as a formal degree?
QUANTUM is a 6-month executive-style micro-degree from IILM Lodhi Road. It carries 20 internal credits, designed to align with modern micro-credential and National Credit Framework thinking, enabling stacking and potential credit transfer into longer programs, as per policy.
Do QUANTUM learners get placements like PGDM students?
QUANTUM is aimed at working professionals accelerating in their current careers, so it does not replicate the full campus placement ecosystem of the 2-year PGDM. You benefit from industry projects, mentoring, networking, and the IILM brand — but the placement structure differs from a full-time PGDM.
How many credits can I transfer to the 2-year PGDM?
Credits may be considered for transfer into the 2-year PGDM at IILM Lodhi Road. The exact number, course mapping, and minimum grade required are defined by the Academic Council and confirmed at the time of PGDM admission — keeping your expectations fully aligned with academic policy.
Do I need a technical or AI background to join?
No. QUANTUM is designed for managers and professionals from business and non-technical backgrounds. You will work with AI tools and use-cases — not write code.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
Plan for around 4 hours on weekends for live sessions and labs, plus additional time for TIP project work. The program is built to fit around a full-time career.
Is the Google AI access really included at no extra cost?
Yes. Google Gemini Pro (Education Plan) and Google Workspace with AI features are bundled into the program fee for the full duration — no additional charge. This bundle is valued at approximately ₹25,000.
