Gandhinagar: How could the 2036 Olympics, if hosted by Ahmedabad, impact the city and Gujarat? The findings will play a crucial role in shaping the commitments outlined in the 'Host City Contract', with a focus on fostering long-term benefits and sustainable development for the host communities.

The studies will focus on identifying and standardizing relevant environmental metrics, design of a stakeholder engagement framework for environmental assessment, and assessment of carbon emissions associated with the Games. Top govt sources said that these studies are mandated as part of the requirements for Olympic bid evaluation and host city selection.

Blended MBA vs EMBA: Key Differences, Eligibility And Costs Explained
Blended MBA vs EMBA: With the growing demand for skilled managers equipped to handle complex business challenges, many working professionals are opting for Executive MBA (EMBA) and Blended MBA (bMBA) programmes. Who Chooses Which Programme? Early to mid-career professionals seeking flexibility often opt for the bMBA, which offers a hybrid learning format and requires less work experience. In contrast, the EMBA is designed for senior executives with substantial professional exposure, usually seven years or more, who want a rigorous, in-person experience. Learning Formats The Blended MBA covers core business disciplines including finance, marketing, operations, leadership, and strategy. Delivered through a mix of online (synchronous and asynchronous) classes and limited campus immersion, it allows students to attend from anywhere, with optional campus visits once every six months. The EMBA is generally a one-year, full-time, on-campus programme focusing on leadership, strategic thinking, and practical business applications, preparing participants for senior leadership or C-suite roles. Why the bMBA is Gaining Popularity Interest in the blended format rose sharply post-pandemic, when hybrid learning's acceptance grew. Younger professionals prefer it as it enables them to upskill without taking extended career breaks. Institutions report significant enrolment from candidates who value both online convenience and occasional offline faculty interaction. IIM Lucknow's New bMBA Offering The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow has launched a two-year Blended MBA programme aimed at mid-career professionals and entrepreneurs. The course combines live online classes with immersive on-campus modules. Its curriculum mirrors IIM Lucknow's flagship MBA, incorporating core and elective subjects, hands-on projects, and a capstone project for practical application. Eligibility Applicants must have: At least three years of full-time work experience post-graduation (as of August 31) A bachelor's degree or equivalent professional qualification (CA/CS/ICWA) with at least 50% marks from a recognised institution A valid CAT, GRE, GMAT, or GMAT Focus (centre-based) score taken within the last five years Learning Model Highlights Live virtual sessions by IIM Lucknow faculty Periodic on-campus modules for interactive learning Case studies, simulations, and management games Group projects, peer discussions, and real-world problem-solving exercises Cost Comparison EMBA programmes, due to their advanced curriculum and experienced cohort, generally cost between Rs 20-25 lakh at older IIMs. The bMBA is comparatively more affordable, at around Rs 15 lakh.
