INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, Calcutta
Post Graduate
Diploma In Business Management (PGDBM)
The Programme
Through upgradation of its earlier 2-Year Evening
Post Graduate Certificate Programme in General Management (PGCGM) Offered since
1981, IIMC launched this 3-Year Part Time Evening Programme of Post Graduate
Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) in 1994 as one of its major initiatives.
The Institute's concern for conducting this Evening Programme in Business
Management emerged from the appreciation of a responsibility to offer a quality
management education to the young practicing and in-service executives of
organizations. This also needs to be seen as the critical and continuing effort
by IIMC to professionalize the junior and mid-level management within
organizations, one of the major agenda of our time. Through this programme, IIMC
facilitates a process through which the students integrate their real-life work
experiences with the conceptual and analytical foundations and developments in
management disciplines. The focus of this Programme is to inculcate among the
students such perceptions, knowledge, skills and abilities as would enable them
to become effective managers in the modern business - and to assume higher
levels of managerial responsibilities.
