The Campus
In 1992, the ITM Trust set-down its second Business School in a city that, within a decade, has made the country proud as the “Silicon Valley of India”. ITM Bangalore is situated in South Bangalore , a fast emerging hub for technology giants which provides the right ambience for intellectual pursuit and industry integration.
ITM Bangalore has its own sprawling campus spread over 3.5 acres, with furnished hostels, administrative building, well-stocked library and reference rooms, auditorium, spacious classrooms and state-of-the art computer labs. The fully residential program is able to cater to the wide interest of diversified students from across India.
The campus offers the two-year full time residential PGDBM program approved by AICTE, with specializations in Marketing, Finance, Human Resources and Information Technology.
The endeavor of the Institution over the past decade has been to transform young, bright graduates into aspiring managers seeking challenging opportunities in the new millennium. ITM Bangalore believes that management education is not one giant leap but a partnership in progress. It is a series of small but sure steps where each step is an opportunity for self-assessment and a realization to scale greater heights. This partnership between dynamic young students and management with a vision strives towards achieving one ultimatum – “Success through Acquisition of Knowledge”. The Management, Faculty and Staff are committed in working together with students to make this goal a reality.
The ITM Experiecnce
Every year, 300 students successfully enroll in the ITM PGDM program, to embark on a two year experience of learning and development, called the ITM Experience. The ITM Experience is composed of:
Core : Academics The first year of the program is dedicated to developing a core of knowledge in the student, preparing him/her for more advanced study. Starting with Foundation Modules, the first three trimesters progressively build up a strong academic base and conceptually sound fundamentals in the student, preparing him for advanced study.In our business programs, the second year teaching methodology combines the best of practical and theoretical methods. The Harvard Case Methodology is most prevalent. Students are exposed to a variety of cases, from the Harvard, INSEAD and Ivey school case archives, as well as many Indian cases studies. In virtually every course, students are expected to prepare projects or perform real-world analytics. A strong group of quantitative subjects rounds out the overall program.
Learning : Research and Analysis In business schools around the world, there is a strong emphasis on research. Students have access to unlimited resources and reference material to conduct research into their fields of specialty. At ITM, while students have access to large libraries on campus, they can access a whole universe of information through our two most prized research resources- EBSCO, the world's largest online archive of over 2000 business and management journals, news and research; and the Harvard Business Review Online, a comprehensive archive of full-text articles/research papers from the Harvard School of Business. At ITM, we believe in the practice of balancing our full-time faculty and visiting faculty ratios. The basis of this is in the fact that visiting faculty from Industry bring real-time business know-how and current practices into the classroom. Full-time faculties, on the other hand, are ideally suited to teach high-intensity, information rich courses.
Transformation : Professional & Personal Development During their formative years, students are exposed primarily to highly theoretical and book-based curricula, which often leave them with a developmental gap. ITM students are given courses in Self-Discovery, Personality Development, Yoga, Communication and Presentation skills, stress management, as well as spiritual and physical development (program dependent). These courses, combined with the regular course curriculum improve the overall learning and living experience at ITM.
Environment : Campuses, Culture and LifestyleEach ITM campus has been designed from the ground up to provide a comfortable, convenient and nurturing ambience. With spacious classrooms, seminar halls, extensive libraries and reference/study areas, cafeterias, gardens and quiet zones- our campuses are more than well equipped to handle the needs of the students of our various programs.
The PGDM program is a fully residential program at all ITM campuses, with separate hostels for men and women (ITM Chennai offers limited hostels for women only). Hostels are usually on twin-sharing basis per room, in apartment layouts. Students of other ITM programs may opt to stay at our hostels. ITM campuses are generally located slightly away from major metropolitan areas, allowing for a quieter, distraction-free environment. On-campus cafeterias serve full meals and snacks.
In addition to academic activities, students may choose to participate in the annual ITM management festival, competitive events, social events and various student clubs. Special recognition is given to students who help organize and manage non-academic activities including an improvement in their CGPA.
Technology : Computing, network and Internet capabilities In the new century, no management program can be considered complete without a focus on technology.
All ITM campuses are technology-rich, with a computer-to-student ratio of 1:1 or greater. A notebook computer is a requirement in the PGDM program. The Institute has an arrangement for the purchase of top-brand notebook computers at very low prices.
All campuses are outfitted with in-class LANs, high-speed internet connections, email, file and print services. ITM has undertaken a project of wireless networking in all campuses to be completed by Dec' 04.
ITM Navi Mumbai is proud to have India's first ever Institutional Live Securities Dealing Room, which provides hands-on training in securities, derivatives, commodities and foreign exchange trading. The lab features National Stock Exchange software from NSE.IT, data-feeds from Moneyline Telerate with industry renowned charting and analysis tools from Spider Software. This Financial Markets Lab adds a dimension of real-life experience and exposure to the PGDM Finance specialization
Real World : Interfacing with Industry At ITM, education rarely stays within the confines of the classroom. Dozens of seminars, panel discussions, corporate workshops and live-projects are conducted, in partnership with India 's best companies and managers. In 2003, students conducted and participated in events covering the fields of HRM, Finance, Marketing, Rural Marketing, Case Competitions etc. ITM is also a premier sponsor of some of the region's most vaunted business and technology conventions, seminars and events- which gives our students the kind of exposure that was once the exclusive domain of corporate executives. Many faculty members and students attend industry events such as the Leadership Convention, CII-NASSCOM conventions, BMA and AIMA annual management conventions etc.,
Launch platform : Placements, Careers and Professional Enhancement While many schools claim to have 100% placement, few talk about the quality and variety of companies that take their students. From ABB to Zydus Industries, over 300 of India 's name-brand companies recruit from ITM every year. These companies represent the leaders in every industry including FMCG, Infotech, Corporate Finance, Banking, Securities, Advertising and Marketing, NGOs, R&D etc. With top offers reaching Rs. 14 lacs/pa and median offers at Rs. 3.5 lacs/pa, it is no wonder that ITM has been ranked # 12 for placements on an all India basis.
The Placements teams at ITM campuses provide an efficient, professional and productive environment for both visiting companies and ITM students in their efforts to find the perfect Person-Position fit.
ITM Trust : Scholarships and Financial Aid Every year, ITM offers a limited number of scholarship and assistantship opportunities for exceptional students who are financially challenged. These range from a tuition fee waiver of 25% to 100% in exchange for on-campus employment as research assistants, administrative assistants, event managers etc. Other stipendiary positions are available from time to time.
If you are looking to finance your education through a bank, you will be pleased to know that ITM is listed as an approved Institution at all nationalized banks, and has an excellent reputation amongst private banks and financial institutions too. Most education loan schemes offer delayed repayment, which allows students to complete their programs and settle into their careers, without the immediate load of monthly installments. PG students can also finance their laptop computers through an education loan.
World Connect : Global Academic Collaborations In its pursuit of world-class education, ITM has sought partnerships with premier Universities and schools from around the world. These partnerships allow us to keep our curricula updated, to exchange students, and to offer new programs. ITM has academic partnerships with:
• Southern New Hampshire University , USA
• Queen Margaret University College , Scotland
• Groupe ESSCA , France
