Recognized by AICTE and one of the very few AICTE accredited Part Time PGPM in the country, Part Time Post Graduate Programme in Management (Part-time PGPM) is a rigorous, demanding and satisfying programme for the working executives. It attracts the best talent from corporates in the National Capital Region. The programme is targeted towards the working executives and entrepreneurs who have not had an opportunity to learn the latest managerial tools and techniques through formal management education. Apart from filling up this gap, it will equip managers for assuming higher responsibilities in performing their tasks more efficiently and effectively in the context of changed domestic and international business environment. Objective
To develop conceptual knowledge on the subject and behavioral skills of managers.
To develop general management competencies and decision making abilities of managers.
To inculcate global perspective on various managerial issues.
To enhance entrepreneurial capabilities and business leadership.
To promote continuous professional and personal self development.
To develop collaborative attitudes and sensitivity for group learning and problem solving skills.
Course Work The programme consists of 36 courses of thirty contact hours each, out of which eighteen are core courses and eighteen are elective courses. Core courses are compulsory for all participants. Students are expected to complete 18 elective courses. The students are free to take the elective courses of their choice. The elective courses are offered in the following functional areas: Finance, Operations Management, Marketing, Information Management, HRM and Strategy. The schema of course work is like this: in first year (initial three terms) 12 core courses will be taught, having four core courses in each term, in second year (fourth to sixth term), there will be four core courses in fourth term and two core courses in fifth term. Electives will start from fifth term onwards. In third year (seventh to ninth term) only elective courses will run. In the last ninth term dissertation / project work will be taken by students.
Specialization For specialization in a functional area, minimum five electives must be chosen by students in that area. Dual specialization is permitted; in which case additional minimum five electives must be chosen in the second area of specialization. Thus out of 18 elective courses 10 must be from the two areas in which students wish to specialize. Remaining elective courses can be taken from any functional area or from the pool of stand-alone electives which may or may not have inter-linkages with other courses. If a student has not taken 5 or more elective courses in any functional area, he will be considered to have specialized in general management. The elective courses offered in a term will be announced in the previous term to facilitate preregistration of courses.
Disertation / Project Work
In addition to core and elective courses, each student will undergo a concurrently running, action research assignment, equivalent to two credit courses. In this dissertation he/ she will tackle a clearly defined live problem of an organization. Normally this dissertation/project work requires one-term equivalent effort and can be started in ninth term. A faculty member from MDI will provide guidance for the project. Students have to choose one guide from industry also for this project work. The students will submit their written dissertation report and will defend their work in front of panel of examiners. The dissertation is evaluated and the grade obtained is included in the final CGPA.
