For PGPBM, IIM Tiruchirappalli uses the concept of credit to define the weightage of a course in the curriculum. Courses are listed as one, two or three credit courses depending on an indicative workload for each course. A three credit course involves about 100 hours of work, of which 30% is spent inside the class room and the balance outside the class in preparation and assignments. One and two credit courses would have a proportionately lesser workload.
Preparation for the classroom entails preparation both before and after the class. Prior to the classroom session, students are required to prepare for the assigned case, go through the assigned readings and work on exercises and assignments, among others. Subsequent to the class session, students are required to review and reflect on the session, and prepare for the components of assessment.
In the programme both Core courses and electives are offered. Core courses are compulsory for all students and are offered in the four terms of the programme. Each student has to do a total of 51 credits of core courses. Electives are courses which are chosen by the students and are offered in second year. The student has to take a minimum total of 45 credits in electives over the last four terms.
