Part A : The plan of action chalked out by the IQAC in the beginning of the year towards quality enhancement and the outcome achieved by the end of the year.
1) Strengthening the involvement of industry and alumni into designing and structuring of courses was identified as a part of the action plan and accordingly the course faculty and area coordinators were given this responsibility. The same was done. In addition, course outlines, course book were identified to be an integral part of the PGDM program and it is implemented with the onset of the present batch.
2) To prepare a plan of actions to be taken and the monetary and non -monetary requirements thereof and get the sanction from the Chairman was identified as an important exercise and the same was done.
3) Some new interventions, such as mentoring, counseling, special sessions for slow learners involving senior students and special workshops on GDPI involving, among others, ITM alumni and corporates would be taken into consideration. All these initiatives were implemented.
4) It was also suggested that, proper counseling should be given to the students about the electives vis-à-vis career options and its progression. This was also done for the current senior students immediately before the end of the third term
5) Encouraging faculty members to write Research Papers, Cases and better uses of existing library resources and databases. In order to achieve this objective, Research Committee was formed and faculty members were motivated to do the same.
6) Disseminating information about NAAC Accreditation to all the stakeholders including students, faculty and staff was done.

Part B :

In order to achieve these objectives, we have done these:
1. Curricular aspects:
During the Academic year 2008-09, the following courses were taught in PGDM, PGDM -IB, PGDM – HR, PGDM – RMM
a) Core options b) Elective options c) Add on courses d) Interdisciplinary courses, e) Flexibility to the students to move from one discipline to another f) flexibility to pursue the programme with reference to the time frame (flexible time for completion).
a) Core options
The PGDM is a two year full time program divided into six terms. 26 compulsory courses (including capstone project) are part of the curriculum. In addition to the above courses, students are required to complete one summer project and one NGO project. The summer project is to be undertaken at the end of the first year (i. e. first three terms) during May and June for a period of 6 to 8 weeks, whereas the NGO project is to be done in the month of February 2009. The summer project has to be necessarily assigned by some company; however students have to work under the guidance of an ITM faculty.
PGDM (IB) with 42 courses, PGDM (HR) with 38 and PGDM (RMM) have 44 courses and all the courses are compulsory. Like PGDM under these programmes also the students have to undergo two months summer internship. In case of ITM-IHM two undergraduate programmes the students undergo for 22 weeks compulsory industrial training.
In case of Ex. PGDM all the 22 courses are compulsory. The same holds good in case of two undergraduate programmes of BA (IHM) with 15 courses and B.Sc.(IHS) with 23 courses.
2
b) Elective options:
In respect of PG DM, 12 electives are offered whereas in PGDM (IB), PGDM (HR), PGDM (RMM) all the courses are compulsory.
c) Add On Courses:
Life Style Management I, II & III, UTKARSH and NGO Project are three add on courses in PGDM whereas Life style management I &II are two add-on compulsory courses for PGDM (IB), PGDM (HR), PGDM (RMM) also. In case of the other programmes, there are no add on courses
d) Interdisciplinary courses:
Capstone project supposedly uses cross- functional knowledge in management discipline. Capstone project is equivalent to three credit courses for ALL FOUR PGDM programmes.
e) Flexibility to the students to move from one discipline to another.
No it is not. Once admission is given in a particular program, it is final.
f) Flexibility to pursue the program with reference to the time frame (flexible time for completion)
There is flexibility to pursue any program. The students are allowed to keep term and write examination for the courses he/she failed/missed with in the time frame of the program or next year. This is true across all the seven programmes.
2. Co-Curricular activities:–
In addition to curricular activities, ITM gives very high importance to co-curricular and extra-curricular activities which help students to develop their overall personality and undergo the rigour of corporate life while studying with ITM. ITM believes that faculty and students are the co-producers of knowledge and keeping this into consideration contribution of both in all the activities say curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities is ensured through built-in institutional mechanisms. Designing and deliverance of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities play an important role in ITM set up. ITM believes that the all round development of a student is possible through contribution of students in class room academic activities as well as outside class room activities. Students show keen interest and involve themselves with commitment in academic, cultural and community development activities. Salient features of some of the co-curricular activities are given below.
• Recent developments in various specific areas take place through Finance club, Marketing club and HR club and retail forum. These clubs/forum conduct special sessions on latest issues on these special areas. Finance Club, Marketing Club, provide a platform to students to unleash their talent in organizing various activities in their respective committees.
• UTKARSH (Unleashing the knowledge and reaching to starry heights) was formed with a view to involve students in the management of various activities through 18 committees.
• ITM became the member of the (National Entrepreneurship Network) (NEN) and round the year it organizes various programs on entrepreneurship.
• DRCC (Developing responsible citizen) was introduced, with a view to ensure the participation of the students in various co-curricular and extra curricular activities. DRCC is equal to 1 credit course “Joint identification program in
3
Relationship management in Banking”. DRCC covering a host of co-curricular activities with a weightage of 100 marks is another method of promoting learning.
• Students participate in all co-curricular and extra curricular activities i.e., conference, competitive events, students presentation of papers at seminars, personality development programmes. Students are encouraged to participate in inter - collegiate and inter university competitions. All learner centric methods are followed in the classroom.
3. Extra -Curricular activities:
Extra curricular activities refer to those activities which help student build their personality through some activities which do not come under the realm of curricular and co-curricular activities.
ITM encourages its students to participate in extracurricular activities by institutionalizing these activities as a part of the academic program and organizational interventions. Some of the 18 committees under UTKARSH are responsible to take up one or the other extracurricular activity and participation in the committee activities is evaluated by the faculty coordinator by giving marks.
Main UTKARSH Committees involved in extracurricular activities are: Sports Committee, Centre for Social initiatives, Cultural committee, infrastructure committee, medical committee and code of conduct committee. In addition, ITM music circle also organizes various events for the local community.
The students of ITM-IHM organize a big ‘ Theme Dinner” each year where the local communities are invited to attend. In addition, some cultural and sports activities are also organized.
The curriculum does give thrust to directly or indirectly to national development. Indirectly through learning mode it does it in terms of making the students aware about Indian ethos, India’s economic development, business environment, socio-economic and cultural environment and study of NGOs etc. as apart of its curriculum. At the same time students are also sensitized about the issues of poverty, underdevelopment and other related issued by aspiring them to the target audience, by taking up certain programmes through extra curricular activities. ITM music circle also organizes various events for the local community.

3. Innovations in curricular design and transaction :
MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES :
1) Meetings are held at regular intervals with faculty, students, alumni, employees and academic peers and their suggestions and recommendations are placed before the Board of Studies, Academic Coordinator, Area Coordinator, Course Coordinator, Registrar, Faculty Mentors, Company Mentors and Project guides for further follow up.
2) Self-designed pro-forma is distributed to the students, academic peers, employers, parents, alumni and community on curriculum development.
3) The feed back obtained from the above stake holders is reviewed by the faculty at its monthly meetings and Management meets at regular intervals of time. The suggestions obtained from the stake holders are summarized and used for improvement in curriculum design.
4) Curriculum development committee is constituted to monitor the progress of various academic programmes offered in the institution.
5) Syllabus is revised every year. However, it is not sacrosanct and depending upon the situations, frequent changes can be made in the syllabus. For example NGO Project was not a part of our original syllabus for PGDM students. However, following suggestions given by the faculty members and increasing importance of social corporate responsibility. NGO Project course was introduced in February 2008.
6) The basis for syllabus revision is as per the requirements of the industry and in tune with the national and global trends at various levels and taking into consideration the employability factors.
7) Personal Growth Laboratory :
The Personal growth lab is a unique experience for the new entrants into ITM Navi Mumbai, where they gather with their peer group in a picnic-like surroundings to learn through fun which involves a lot of experiential learning and group dynamics. Spread over two days, 16, 17, 18 & 29 June 2008 for the two batches of the PGDM students and 30th June, 1st 2nd & 3rd July 2009 for the GLC batches.

Staff and faculty accompanied the students and the events were conducted by an outsourced group by the name Strawberry Out bounds. Each activity was initially briefed and then debriefed by staff for total comprehension of each participant

8) Theater Workshop :
Thoda acting, Thoda yoga keeps you fit. That's what ABHINAYA YOG claims it can do. Management on the other hand claims Pura learn, Pura practice keeps you energized. ITM strives for a synergistic approach and to rediscover this through a very craetive workshop by Mr. Lalit Parimoo, an eminent theater & television personality who was invited along with his team of professional actors during the induction of PGDM 2009-10 batch between June 16, 09 to June 19, 09 and again would be here for the PGDM HR, IB and RMM students between the 30th of June and the 2nd of July.
ABHNINAYA YOG conceptualized by Mr. Lalit Parimoo is a healing system where acting is used as a methodology. He believes that learning the craft of acting can help in getting rid of suppressed feelings and emotions and lead one towards better psychic health. In his words, we need to express our feelings in a craetive way so that they are not pent up leading to a disorder.
During the theater workshop, Mr. Parimoo beautifully blended the management concepts with acting. He began by quoting Natyashastra examples with body language, the most vital tool of corporate citizens personality. Today's managers have to deal with multifaceted stress and Abhinaya Yog teaches the students handle these with the aid of basic acting and yogic techniques. It also helps them move towards the path of self realization.
Few of the learnings from his ten point lessons applicable to the management students are the art of imitating, physical fitness, appropriate postures & gestures, voice modulation & articulation through Pranayam, reproducing one's emotions & feelings through Navras, move from a casual listener to a concentrated listener i.e. develop concentration techniques, Role playing through dramatization and most important the six basic enemies of one's life- Kam, Krodh, Lobh, Moh,
Madh, Matsarya. Mr. Parimoo believes that, discovering the actor within oneself helps one to refashion one's thinking patterns and rid oneself of psychosomatic ailments.
He question answer session and the group activity towards the end of the show helped the audience to interact and put to practice the lessons they learnt during the workshop. Lalit Parimoo concluded the workshop with a famous Shakespeare quote All the world's a stage engaging students in real life drama from a reel life guru.
9) Two movies were screened by the TMTM Club ( under UTKARSH) for the new batch of students as an exercise in learning management principles through movies : The Transporter and A few Good men: Movies go to Management and ICE AGE-THE MELT DOWN- A case of HR in a nutshell

The psychometric tool used to assess the individual Personality of each candidate is “THE 16 PF PROFILE” designed by R. B. CATTELL. This tool measures various personality traits and their levels (high, average, low) in each individual. Each report focuses on the personality of the individual related to his or her selection and development and describes about an individuals personal career development on the basis of the psychological traits, present in them. It measures the course and growth of their careers and reflect personal strength anchored to five important areas of behavior problem solving resources:-
- Problem solving resources.
- Pattern for coping with stressful conditions.
- Interpersonal interaction styles.
- Organizational role and work- setting preferences.
- Career activity interest.
The purpose of the report is to help broaden the understanding level of oneself and plan a better future further.
The scores earned by the candidates in the occupational interest areas reflect only a similarity
in personality to persons who express interest for the occupations .
The career interest scores should be reviewed for explorative counselling.
It has been clearly mentioned that the scores
“DO NOT PREDICT”, they are an assumption.

This report has been further summarized to benefit each candidate. (Enclosed model copy attached for your reference)
Each candidate has been handed over with the (“Summarized Report”) along with individual “COUNSELLING SESSIONS” to familiarize them with the results and apply the “good fit” & “poor fit” model (levels) in their day to day adjustments in every walk of life.
So far 70-80 candidates from the senior Batches of PGDM & GLC, respectively have benefited from these services. The process is still continuing.
Apart from the above services rendered in the Counselling Cell
