PGPM General Program : Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management Delhi
Two year Full-Time Post Graduate Programme in Management consists of Six Trimesters. The course structure has been designed to ensure that the management graduates of LBSIM develop a judicious blend of strategic thinking and tactical implementation, specialised knowledge and general management skills. In the three trimesters during the first year, the focus is primarily on basic courses to build a foundation of conceptual and analytical skills required for more specialized study in various functional areas to be pursued in the second year of the programme. The students have to take 21 core courses along with Personal and Interpersonal Effectiveness Lab and Summer Training during the year. The students may also have the opportunity to take a Foreign language as an optional course during the first year.
In the second year, during the fourth, fifth and sixth trimesters, the students have to opt for 11 electives in addition to the 4 compulsory courses. This enables the students to pursue in-depth learning in the area of their specialisation. The electives cover a minimum of two functional areas which equip the LBSIM graduates with multiple functional skills.
Besides, each student undertakes a project study under the guidance of a faculty member with the aim of studying a business problem or a situation to gain an insight into actual corporate realities. The project study is undertaken by the students at the beginning of fourth trimester and the final submission is at the end of fifth trimester.

THE MAIN ELEMENTS
The KIAMS PGDM includes six main elements:
Courses on integrated management functions
such as Managing Financial Resources,
Managing Services & Products, and People
Organizations run through the first three
terms. Parallel to them, and fully
complementing them, is a two-term Strategic
Management course.
A core component is a series of contextual courses, preparing for global change, which explores the impact on business and management of larger social, political, economic, and technological changes.
Special emphasis is placed on new business development and the enhancement of entrepreneurial skills.
Key personal and professional skills are fostered by course components such as Data Analysis, I.T. for Management, Business Communication, Presentation, Negotiation, Leadership & Small Group behaviour skills.
Students also have the opportunity to pursue their own individual and professional interests. The study of advanced electives in the Second Year takes them to the frontiers of their future careers. Some of the electives cover exciting areas like ERP, Business Process Reengineering, Franchising and E-Commerce
Over the summer a 10-week study project carried out in a company or organization, gives students the opportunity to apply the knowledge which they have acquired and to experience management in action.
CUSTOMISED PROGRAMME
During the second year of the programme (Terms 4, 5 and 6), students have the opportunity to customise the programme to meet their personal requirements. They can choose from more than 38 electives the 10 or so in which they wish to be assessed. With such a wide choice they may wish to focus on a particular area such as finance, marketing or human resource management, or they may decide on a fairly broad mix of topics. Particularly popular are the general management and Technology related electives, which provide the opportunity for participants to gain a better understanding of how the key elements required to run a businedd successfully are integrated. Some students use this as an opportunity to develop their ideas and complement them by taking up live projects for companies which gives them hands-on experience. In addition to the assessed electives the students can also audit (i.e. attend) other electives.
LEARNING TEAMS
At the start of the programme, students are placed in learning teams of three or four people. These are designed by the programme director to ensure that each-team has a blend of functional knowledge and intuitive thinking. The learning team, as used at KIAMS, plays a key part in the process of management development, as distinct from the content of the programme. Students will come to realise that having the correct analysis is not necessarily enough; they must be able to convince their peers that this is so and carry others along with them.
The learning team system at KIAMS is created in order to develop these skills in a relatively risk free environment where the pay-off from working together is high but where the failure cost is not as disastrous as it may be in the real business world.
The preparation for classroom sessions is done both individually and in the learning teams and involves a substantial amount of work. The use of learning teams and the subsequent classroom discussions ensures that the extensive experience which all KIAMS participants possess is fully utilised.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
The learning teams are also central to the process of personal development. The KIAMS experience is not just about learning ‘content’. It is also about developing a student as an individual and as a manager, able to understand his/her own abilities and capable of motivating his/her colleagues.
The learning team approach adopted throughout the programme helps to develop teamwork, leadership and interpersonal skills.
LINKS
KIAMS has a large database of the Indian corporate houses due to its long association with consultancy services and executive development programmes. Students can leverage this database for developing a network of contacts which is useful in career development and for placements.
ASSESSMENT
KIAMS follows a continuous evaluation system to keep the student learning throughout the year. Feedback is provided by the faculty on a continuing basis to enable the students to monitor their own progress. Individual faculty members design their methods of evaluation which include tests, assignments, term papers, project work based reports and presentations, mid and end term exams. The evaluation may be on individual/ group basis. A five point scale grading procedure is adopted for evaluating students as given below. At the end of every term, the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is calculated for each student
GRADE SYSTEM
Grade Grade Point GP Boundary Conditions
A+ 4.00 A+ and A together should not exceed 25% of the class strength
A 3.75
B+ 3.25
B 3.00

For the award of PGDM Diploma at the end of year 2, a student should have a minimum CGPA of 2.5 at the end of term-VI.
PGDM Programme : KIAMS- Harihar Karnataka
Having made a mark in the area of executive education in the country, KIAMS has ventured into training bright young minds in high quality management education to meet the managerial leadership gap in the country. The resources and competencies developed for the managerial training are now being extended by the Institute to the students of the Post Graduate Diploma in Management Programme (PGDM).
KIAMS offers a two year fully residential Post Graduate Diploma in Management Programme to train and develop managers for the next millennium. We provide a state-of-the-art learning environment with top-of-the-line facilities.
PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
To be effective leaders, students must understand their own strengths, weaknesses and look for opportunities to grow by overcoming weaknesses and sharpening strengths. Prepare mentally to challenge the future. They must also be able to understand organizational objectives, the relative importance of different factors; and be efficient in implementing the ensuing policies. It is vital that they are also capable of convincing other people and at the same time are proactive team players.
During the 2 years of this intensive programme they develop
Familiarity with a wide range of managerial skills and operating techniques
Confidence in assessing and analysing complex problems and in making decisions
The ability to think critically and rationally
A clear overview of how different aspects of business relate to each other and the flexibility to fit into a wide range of business functions

Willingness to take a co-operative approach to problem solving
UNIQUENESS OF OUR PROGRAMME:
The Institute through its executive training programmes provides a platform for practicing managers, academics and professionals to meet, interact and exchange concepts, ideas, and experiences in different fields of management. PGDM Students benefit by interacting with these participants and experts. Very few business schools in the country provide this opportunity. The alliance with the Kirloskar Group companies enables students to have hands-on experience as well as link theory to practice.
The thrust of the programme is to prepare true global managers – with capabilities to manage successfully in the fast changing global economy. Courses such as International Business Management, International Finance, and International Trade provide a platform for the students to strengthen their understanding of managing in the global context.

CAPSTONE EXERCISE
