We shall continually benchmark ourselves against the best in class

institutions. We shall foster continuous learning and reflection,

achievement orientation, creative interdependence and respect for

Thecurriculumisplannedkeepinginmindtheprogrammelevelgoalswhichin

turn are derived from the mission statement. The institutes has set the

followingastheprogrammelevelgoals

Application of the principles of ethics and corporate governance in a

Demonstration of the capacity to take leadership role in business

situations.

Inaccordancewiththeabove,theentirePostGraduateProgrammeisawellthoughtoutmixof

classroomstudyandexperiential/practicaltraining.Itisafullyresidentialprogramoftwoyears.

TheProgram involves learning through classroom sessions,discussions andexercises,project

assignmentswith organizations, and field based course specific projectwork. However, the

emphasisoftheentireprogrammewouldbeonselflearning.

2.1 ClassRoomPedagogy

Theclassroomsessionscompriseofsixtermsspreadacrosstwoacademicyearsofstudy.The

firstyear

(three

terms)

consists

of

arigorous

and

intensive

grounding

in

basic

management

functions. These courses are compulsory innature.During the second year (three terms), in

additiontocertaincompulsorycourses,thestudentcanoptforelectives,basedontheirareas

of interest. TAPMI offers electives in the areas ofMarketing, Finance, Systems, Operations,

GeneralManagement andHuman ResourceManagement. The class roompedagogy ranges

across traditional class room instruction, simulations, casemethod,etc.Simulationsand case

methodofteachingareadoptedinabigwayacrossthecurriculum,tosupplementclassroom

instruction/lecture.Simulations illustrate thecomplex interplayofvariablesand replicate real

situations,andthestudentcanunderstandordecideonacourseofaction.Discussionofcases

based on business situations helps a student connect the theory that s/he is learningwith

practicalreality.

S/he

must

understand

situations,

and

may

or

may

not

have

to

decide

on

a

course of action, based on the information available. Thus, class room instruction, when

supplementedwith casebased discussions,helps the student indeveloping adeep and rich

understandingofbusinessandmanagement.

2.2 FieldbasedExperientialLearning

Thecurriculumplacesgreatemphasisonfieldbasedexperientiallearning. Learningintheclass

roommustbe supplementedwith fieldbased learning, to result in anunderstanding that is

holistic,andconnectstheorywithpractice.ThePGDMprogrammehasmanycomponentsthat

arefieldbased,suchasManagementinPractice(MIP),OutboundProgrammeandNGOProject,

whichare

important

and

integral

parts

of

our

Program.

2.2.1 ManagementInPractice/FieldWork

B) NGOProject

An importantcomponentoftheprogrammethatenhancesfieldbasedexperiential learning is

the NGO Project. This is to enable students to sensitize themselves to issues of social

development and social development management. Students work with NonGovernment

Organizationsandundertakesocialandcommunityprojectstogainanunderstandingofnon
