The Programme : The programme consists of 41 courses, 25 compulsory and 16 electives of 3 credits each totalling to 123 credits. Students are also required to undertake a summer project and a final dissertation.
The First Year : The first year of the course presents the students with a comprehensive view of the management discipline. A broad perspective of the industrial environment is presented and a sound foundation is laid for advanced learning in the second year. All the courses in the first year are core courses and compulsory. In the summer of the first year, students are required to spend ten to twelve weeks in an organisation working on a project on a significant aspect or problem relating to any functional area. The aim of the summer project is to provide students with the opportunity to closely observe an organisation in operation and relate what they have learnt in the classroom to actual practice. This also facilitates the selection of electives in the second year.
The Second Year : The second year of the course takes into account the need for bringing into the classroom the state of the art new techniques and innovation in various fields and in helping students apply theoretical inputs to practice. Besides the four compulsory courses, students have to choose 16 electives from a wide array of elective courses, out of which at least 5 electives have to be in an area of specialisation, viz. Marketing, Finance, Systems, Human Resources Management, General Management, International Business, Logistics and Supply Chain Management and Retailing Management .
Students are also required to submit a Master-level dissertation in their chosen area of specialization, as part of the programme, normally in the last term of the second year. The performance of the students of the PGDM programme is continually evaluated and rigorously monitored to motivate them to excel. The grading synthesizes, on a nine point scale, the continual process of assessment and reflects the students combined performance in assignments, reports, project work, field-work, class participation, quizzes, mid-term and end-term tests.
