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.
Human resource is the single most important asset that any organization possesses. The core competence of an organization ultimately rests upon the quality of this vital resource and on how it is leveraged by the firm to seek its competitive advantage. For a successful organization, human resource policies and practices must drive its strategic goals and help their effective realization.
Keeping in view the acknowledged importance of the discipline, the Human Resource Group offers a compulsory foundation course (HR 101) during the first year and several optional courses for the final year students. Course contents and teaching materials for all courses are constantly revised in tune with the emerging needs of the modern organizations. In pursuit of such constant innovation, the group has introduced two new courses during 1996-97 (HR 223 & 224) and one (HR 225) during 1997-98. More are being planned.
The first-year compulsory course provides a broad systemic perspective of Human Resource Management (HRM) as a discipline. It introduces the key concepts, issues, systems and tools relevant to the field, along with their broader linkages. The final year optional courses enable the students to study topics of their interest in greater depth, as relevant to their area(s) of specialization or career goals. An appropriate selection of these optional courses would help a student to embark upon a career as a HRM specialist.
