Course programme
The core curriculum of PGDM develops essential skills and knowledge in the areas of economics, organisation and behaviour, finance and accounting, management control, marketing, human resource management, information systems and quantitative methods.
After successfully completing the first year requirements, the students undertake summer training of up to ten weeks at the managerial level. Students analyse and offer solutions to specific managerial problems under the guidance of a faculty member as well as a manager in the host company.
Second year students structure their studies to suit their aptitude and interest. They usually develop one or two major areas of expertise by selecting courses from the 60 to 80 electives that the Institute typically offers. Students willing to delve deeper into a topic that is not covered by the elective courses can do a term paper under faculty supervision.
The method of instruction varies. Case studies, lectures, group and individual exercises, class projects, student presentations, simulation games etc., are used in different courses. Many courses bring in industry experts to integrate classroom learning with industry practice.
The courses in the Behavioural Sciences have been designed so as to give students, who plan to become administrations, managers and executives, a better insight and appreciation of human problems in both industrial and non-industrial organizations. The behavioural sciences draw upon concepts and conclusions from the interrelated fields of psychology, anthropology and sociology and aim at a synthesis of these in understanding the processes of organizational growth and development, organizational decision making and the role of individual and group behaviour therein. The courses, therefore, attempt to provide a deeper knowledge of organizational behaviour with specific emphasis on Indian situations. In addition, most concerted efforts are directed towards equipping the students with necessary behavioural skills for management of human resources in an organization.
The Group offers two compulsory courses: Behavioural Sciences I and Behavioural Sciences II in the first and second terms respectively. These two courses provide the basic foundation for understanding individual, group and organizational processes utilizing theories and concepts with an interdisciplinary behavioural sciences approach. The core courses are particularly geared towards better appreciation of human and organizational phenomena in the Indian context.
