ABOUT GIM

Director's Message

The world around us is witnessing rapid change in various fields and Management Education is no exception. In order to be Future ready, Management education in India has to be able to anticipate the future and carve out appropriate strategies and programmes, to enable students to be able to meet the challenges of tomorrow. The objective , therefore in our view is not only to benchmark with the “ Best in Class” but indeed be able to “Next Mark”.
The Goa Institute of Management (GIM) is committed to this endeavour. Over the years GIM has earned the enviable reputation of being one of the finest Management Schools in the country. Most B-School surveys have given the Institute top marks in terms of Placement record, Quality of Education, Enabling Infrastructure, Efforts at Globalisation etc. Through the AICTE (All India Council of Technical Education) the Indian Government has granted accreditation to GIM and the programmes that it conducts. This ensures that the quality of education is not compromised in any way.
The environment at GIM ensures high quality of learning. Through its rigorous admissions process, which is transparent and based solely on merit, the Institute ensures that the student community is committed to the learning process . The Institute imparts sound values to enable its students to become effective and good leaders. The infrastructure which is being constantly upgraded ensures a comfortable working environment. The library, which is the heart of any institution, gets the maximum priority. Goa, with its natural God given beauty, in no small measure adds to this wonderful learning experience.
GIM boasts of some of the finest Inhouse and Visiting Faculty. The curriculum is regularly evaluated and upgraded to make the students future ready. The Visiting Faculty ensures relevant Industry cases to be brought into the classroom. Collaborate Research enables Faculty to keep pace with the changes in Management education. Industry interaction is encouraged through Management Development programmes, an Executive MBA program and Consultancy. All this finally benefits the students who pass out from GIM.
The Board of Governors consists of eminent Academicians, Industry Professionals and Government Officials who guide the Institute through regular Board meetings. The Government of Goa also lends support to the Institute in various ways.
The Institute is committed to the process of globalization by maintaining appropriate international linkages and Exchange Programs. This will get greatly enhanced in the next few years.
We look forward to hearing from you.

GIM Mission

To educate managers with the knowledge, skills and creativity to manage our nation’s enterprise competently and confidently with personal integrity and social responsibility and so provide value to and for the organisation for which they work.
In partnership with all competent and interested persons and organisations, we commit ourselves to discovering, sharing, and applying management knowledge in every field of human endeavour; our professional goals are to enhance the learning of students, colleagues, and practicing managers and to improve the effectiveness of organisations through research, teaching and the practice of management.

PGDM

The faculty’s main objective is to assist the student to develop those qualities and to internalise those values which make for effective leadership in organisations. Since this involves more than the knowledge of specific theories and models, different learning methods are used appropriate to the skills to be developed, like problem analysis, case studies in groups, simulated games, small group seminars, and ‘laboratory’ exercise. While classroom interaction aims at developing a wide knowledgebase, the student is encouraged to analyse, anticipate, innovate and otherwise prepare himself or herself for a challenging professional career. The courses are designed taking into account the requirements of employers and the abilities of the students to reach the highest standards.
Pedagogy
GIM works towards enabling its students to learn better through innovative learning techniques. The style of class is participatory, thus being an impetus in enhancing student capabilities. Teamwork is strongly emphasized, through interactive and group learning, which increases participation and helps maintain student involvement. Students analytical skills are tested through problem based cases, whereas the question and discussion periods and debates help stimulate thought. Visual and computer based instruction along with technology based delivery provide a more effective presentation of course material. Fieldwork service projects help integrate the theory and practice in business management. Teaching techniques at GIM are thus themed around enabling students to become independent thinkers, and making things happen. The learning process is enhanced through the use of technology that facilitates access to resources and readings and submission of assignments.
Summer Project
In the summer after the first year, students are required to spend eight to ten weeks in an industrial organization doing a project on a significant aspect or problem of organizational management. The aim of the summer project is to provide students an opportunity to observe closely an organization in operation, and to relate what they have learnt in class to actual practice. The Alumni Association has instituted a Gold Medal for the Best Summer Project.
Dissertation
The students are required to submit a dissertation on any area of management, as a part of the academic programme.
The following awards have been instituted for the best dissertations:
Shri. Vasudeva V. Sinai Dempo Gold Medal for Best Dissertation in the area of Human Resources.
