In the First Year all students pursue the same course of study and together build a strong foundation of general management concepts and skills. The students undergo Summer Internship, 8-10 weeks spent with a professional organization, on completion of the first year's course work. This exposure equips students to relate management theory to practice, handle assignments independently and deliver results in a corporate environment. During the Second Year students can choose from an unparalleled range of seventy-one elective courses enabling them to synthesize the functional skills developed through the curriculum into a more complete understanding of the firm as a total enterprise.

Post Graduate Diploma in Computer-Aided Management (PGDCM)

The PGDCM programme is conducted in tandem with the PGDM course. In the First Year, PGDCM students take up common courses in Marketing, Finance, Operations, Behavioural Sciences, etc along with PGDM students, in addition to basic courses in Management Information Systems.
