Executive Postgraduate Programme
in Management
(Exec-PGP)
The Programme
The Institute offers this
programme since June 2000 for the working executives in India who have the
potential to reach higher levels in the hierarchy of the management. The Exec-PG
programme provides executives with an opportunity to earn a Postgraduate Diploma
in Business Management without interrupting their career. The curriculum is
similar to that of the BM programme and it exposes them to a wide range of
management theories and practices.
From October 2001, the Institute began offering the Exec-PGP in Dubai in
collaboration with the Al Abbas Institute of Technology.
The participants in India spend 18-20 days in the Campus thrice a year to
complete the course requirements. They are expected to do additional work as
carry-home projects and assignments. The mix of participants, which includes
entrepreneurs and executives from various functional areas, provides an enabling
environment for learning. The Institute awards the Postgraduate Diploma in
Management to the participants who successfully complete all the requirements of
this programme.

Academic
Programme
The Exec-PGP is organized in 9
terms. Each term spans about three months. Participants' visit to campus may be
termed as Campus Visit (CV). The sessions required for the courses are completed
during the Campus Visits. Participants are expected to stay on campus for about
18 to 20 days in a term. This period is announced to the participants in advance
so that they can arrange for their leave of absence from their respective
organizations. During the period of their stay on campus, as the participants
need to participate in intensive classroom sessions, they are required to be
available full time. During this period there will be no holidays or any other
break.
