Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is designed to nurture students and help them build and enhance their managerial and leadership competencies.
The PGDM curriculum design and pedagogy emphasizes the development of students’ skills and abilities to apply management theories and concepts to practical problems of the business world and industries. Pedagogy is ‘learning centric’ and not ‘teaching centric’.
It is interactive and participative, involving fieldwork, case studies, business games, role-plays, simulation exercises, group discussions, experiential exercises, film reviews, application of concepts, structured and unstructured group work, and hands-on projects with the industry. Students are expected to achieve high standards of excellence. The emphasis is on involving the students in learning and helping them relate concepts and theories to business realities.
The first three trimesters are essentially devoted to develop understanding of basic concepts across different functional areas to provide an integrated learning experience to the students. This covers Core Compulsory courses across different functional areas of management. The fourth and fifth trimesters cover courses primarily on electives based on their area of specialization.
