Post Graduate Management:Entrepreneurship and Small Business

Two year Full-Time Post Graduate Programme in Management consists of Six Trimesters. The course structure has been designed to ensure that the management graduates of LBSIM develop a judicious blend of strategic thinking and tactical implementation, specialised knowledge and general management skills. In the three trimesters during the first year, the focus is primarily on basic courses to build a foundation of conceptual and analytical skills required for more specialized study in various functional areas to be pursued in the second year of the programme. The students have to take 21 core courses along with Personal and Interpersonal Effectiveness Lab and Summer Training during the year. The students may also have the opportunity to take a Foreign language as an optional course during the first year. In the second year, during the fourth, fifth and sixth trimesters, the students have to opt for 11 electives in addition to the 4 compulsory courses. This enables the students to pursue in-depth learning in the area of their specialisation. The electives cover a minimum of two functional areas which equip the LBSIM graduates with multiple functional skills. Besides, each student undertakes a project study under the guidance of a faculty member with the aim of studying a business problem or a situation to gain an insight into actual corporate realities. The project study is undertaken by the students at the beginning of fourth trimester and the final submission is at the end of fifth trimester.
