The future won't belong to 'Employees', but to those who take charge. Discover the leader within and get a second- wind in your career.

The PGDM (GM) (General) Programme aims at augmenting the skill-sets and competencies of practicing managers. Exposing them to recent trends, tools and techniques in Management would not only provide them with extra skills sets but also help them reflect upon the previous experience of working in organizations. Though the program offers concentration in conventional subjects like Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Marketing, Production Management and Strategic Management but the focus of program is to prepare current managers for the leadership roles. This 18 month, full time AICTE recognized course incorporates a 6-month field based training in a functional area.
