  • To give an understanding of relevant theoretical business management concepts.

  • The Two Year PGDM program is covered in six trimesters.
  • There are 22 Core Subjects, 14 electives (including flexi-core) and one summer internship project.
  • In the first year (during trimesters I, II and III), the student will learn concepts in all the functional areas of management.
  • In trimester III, students will be choosing two flexi-core courses from a bouquet of courses offered from various functional areas. This enables students to select specializations (major and minor) according to their interest in the 2nd year.
  • In the second year, the student has to choose 12 electives out of the elective courses offered by the Institute, during three terms i.e. Terms IV, V & VI. These are following three ways a student can choose specialization:

A Major specialization with a minor specialization: A student has to opt for six to eight courses from the marketing area for their major specialization, four courses for the minor specialization from the area that the student intends to specialize and if required two courses from the other areas.

A major specialization without a minor specialization: A student has to opt for six to eight courses from the marketing area for their major specialization. The student has to opt for the remaining courses from the remaining areas. But since the student has not opted for a minor specialization, the maximum number of courses that the student can opt for from any one of remaining areas is three.
