Program Structure

The PGDM programme is structured across six trimesters, offering a progressive and rigorous learning journey that integrates core management foundations, domain-specific specialisations, and experiential learning. The curriculum is carefully designed to build managerial competence, analytical thinking, and leadership capability, while maintaining strong alignment with contemporary industry requirements and AICTE guidelines.

During the first two trimesters, students develop a strong grounding in core management disciplines, including finance, marketing, economics, operations, human resources, organisational behaviour, business communication, and business analytics. These trimesters focus on strengthening conceptual clarity, quantitative aptitude, and managerial decision-making skills essential for professional growth. Foundational courses such as Design Thinking are introduced early to foster innovation, problem-solving, and user-centric thinking.

The third trimester introduces a blend of advanced core courses and electives, enabling students to begin exploring domain interests across finance, marketing, human resources, supply chain management, and business analytics. Courses such as AI for Business and Research Methodology further strengthen analytical capability, research orientation, and technology-enabled managerial decision-making.

Trimesters four and five emphasize experiential and applied learning, integrating leadership development modules, advanced analytics, and specialised electives across functional areas. Students deepen domain expertise through focused electives while gaining practical exposure to real-world business scenarios. A key component of this phase is the Summer Internship Programme (SIP), which provides hands-on industry exposure and enables students to apply classroom learning in professional environments.

The sixth trimester culminates the academic journey with advanced integration through courses such as Organisational Development and Consulting, along with a Field Research Project, enabling students to apply strategic thinking, analytical frameworks, and research skills to real-world business challenges.

Overall, the PGDM programme offers a total of 162 credits, in line with AICTE norms, of which 105 credits are compulsory. These include 54 core credits, 42 elective credits, a Summer Internship Programme, and a Field Research Project, which together form the essential academic requirements prescribed by AICTE. This balanced credit structure ensures academic rigor, practical exposure, and industry relevance, preparing graduates for dynamic managerial and leadership roles across diverse business environments.
