Dear Student,

In our quest to keep pace with the current trends & developments in the field of global education, I am happy to report that we have further upgraded the PGDM curriculum through the adoption of a multitude of innovative, integrated & market-friendly academic initiatives.

Some of these include:

• We innovate in our curricula and pedagogy. Faculty governance-meaning, among other things that the Faculty and institutional committees approve course syllabi and other academic decisions such as course requirements and electives – has allowed curriculum development in response to evolving Corporate ,Faculty and student interests.

• Students enjoy flexibility in selecting courses, build inter-disciplinary perspectives and practical application.

•  Curricular compatibility-the academic structure, content, calendar, streams of functional specialization, the grading systems and the positioning of the PS programme are all conveniently aligned to support students in their academic endeavours.

• Faculty development programme – teaching in the PGDM programme is but one of the activities of a Faculty at IFIM Business School. The other tasks include conducting EDP’s / MDP’s, guiding & supervising students under the Ph.D programme, undertaking Research & Consulting assignments, development of teaching material etc. These, as may be seen, are mutually reinforcing value-add activities that significantly contribute to their professional & institutional brand equity. Without this judicious mix, it would be difficult to not only attract high quality Faculty but even to remain competitive.

• Use a blend of e-learning, case discussions, group interactions and brain-storming sessions etc.

• Strive to maintain a balance between research and practical experience in driving the curriculum.

It is believed that these initiatives will go a long way to enrich the overall learning experiences of PGDM students, create new connections between IFIM Business School and leading global institutions, generate interest within the academic community, expand the minds of students and foster a climate in which innovative and diverse educational programmes can flourish, bridging many of the gaps.

We offer a brilliant opportunity for each student to aspire for the best and reach for the stars.

With best wishes,
Prof (Dr.) M.R. Gopalan
