Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM)

IBA PGDM programme curriculum equips students to thrive on efficiency in today’s competitive business environment. Optimizing processes, managing resources effectively, and driving excellence are fundamental to achieving superior performance. The from Indus Business Academy (IBA) equips you with the skills and knowledge to become a sought-after management professional in the areas of Business Analytics, Marketing, International Business, Entrepreneurship, Retail Management, Human Resources and others. 

The programme begins with a curriculum refreshing students’ fundamental concepts. In the second and third trimesters, the students will be oriented to areas of specializations such as HR, IT, Finance, Introductions to Strategic Management, Research Methodology, Corporate Governance, Business Ethics, Organisational Behaviour, Operational management, Marketing, Business law. 

Two months corporate internship immediately after the completion of the third trimester i.e. the first year, enables students to get real-life experience in blue chip companies on projects that can challenge even an accomplished practicing manager. The actual learning occurs through the fruitful exchange of ideas and exposure to diverse perceptions, particularly during case analysis and presentations. These nourish the basic concepts that reinforce the process of creating successful managers.

At IBA, students are treated as colleagues who work in teams as ‘Task Forces’. This gives them a first-hand experience to organise guest lectures, seminars, even identify and screen faculty, coordinate directly with visiting faculty, etc. The last three trimesters are devoted to building entrepreneurial abilities in the students because a successful manager is perceived as a wealth creator for the organisation. The chosen specialisation subjects are learnt exhaustively in these three trimesters.

The last lap at IBA is devoted to placement exercise. Preparing the students for this begins much earlier through a process of communication, mock interview sessions, GDs, etc. Living through this programme is intense and gruelling. But for those who are serious & deeply committed, the returns in terms of knowledge, confidence, and career prospects are highly rewarding.
