Navya Naveli Nanda’s admission to the prestigious Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad has sparked considerable debate. Following her announcement on social media, some critics have raised concerns about the validity of the Blended Post Graduate Programme (BPGP) MBA, questioning its equivalence to a traditional MBA.
