Post-Graduate Programme in Management for Executives

PGPX is a full time residential programme for executives with substantial work experience leading to a One Year Post-Graduate Diploma in Management for Executives.

The design of PGPX is built on the Institute's well established experience of designing and running postgraduate management programmes for exceptionally bright students and a wide range of executive education programmes for practicing managers from many countries. It takes into account the substantial and varied experience the selected executives bring to the classroom.

The objective of the programme is to develop bright, enthusiastic, and aspirational executives into management leaders and change agents in the global arena.

The programme has a general management focus, with emphasis on managing across borders and cultures. It has an international project (called International Immersion) besides teaching content drawn from many countries.

The programme is open to executives of all nationalities.
