It is the first PGPM programme of the country that has been accredited by a global accreditation body, namely, AMBA (Association of MBAs) UK. MDI prides itself for the learning experience imparted in this programme.ObjectivesPGPM at MDI nurtures students to help them:

And to develop an all round personality that is well integrated with the very best of the Indian values and civilizations across the world. The Curriculum DesignThe PGPM curriculum design and pedagogy emphasizes the development of students' skills and abilities to apply management theories and concepts to live problems in business and industry. Students are expected to achieve high standards of excellence. Teaching methods include - lectures, case studies, seminars, group discussions, business games, outbound based experiential learning activities, educational excursion, role plays, simulation exercises, structured and unstructured group work, and field visits. The emphasis is on involving the students in learning and helping them to relate concepts and theories to business requirements. Consistent with advances in teaching technology, the programme integrates the use of computers in learning the basic principles in different functional areas of management. It also enables students to acquire skills in identifying and dealing with complex problems in management, especially in this era of globalization of industrial and commercial activity and the resulting intense competition. The students also undertake several field-based projects so that they can get better insights into the workplace reality. The curriculum is revised on an ongoing basis through discussions with practicing managers from the industry to reflect current business needs.Programme StructureCore CoursesThe PGPM course curriculum is spread over six terms of about three months each. The core courses are covered in four terms, with the bulk of it covered in the first three terms. These core courses enhance the ability to communicate, analyze situations and take decisions using quantitative and qualitative factors, and to develop a holistic view of the different functional areas and the business environment. During this period, students take courses in general management and major functional areas, such as finance and accounting, marketing, operations management, information technology management, organization behaviour, human resources and strategic management. They are also exposed to the basic disciplines of economics, behavioral sciences, information technology, quantitative methods and decision sciences.Summer InternshipAt the end of the first three terms, the students go for an industry internship or summer training with an organization. The internship usually spans over an eight to ten-week period. This is a compulsory component of the curriculum for the completion of the academic programme. It is designed to provide exposure to organizational working, to develop an understanding of business realities, and to learn to apply theory to real life business situations. Since the summer internship is a vital component in the promotion of the student into the second year, they are also graded for thisSpecializationsIn the second year, the students take elective / optional courses to specialize in a maximum of two functional areas. These areas are: Finance, Information Management, Marketing, Strategy and Operations Management. To specialize in an area a student must take a minimum of five elective course credits offered by that area. All elective packages, however, may not be offered, as this would be determined by the number(s) of students showing interest in specializing in different areas. The Institute may also consider new electives in line with recent developments and availability of expertise to offer the same.Student Exchange ProgrammeStudent exchange programmes promote a greater understanding of the multiple perspectives on managerial issues and challenges that are international in nature and enhances the competencies of students so that they are better able to live and work in an increasingly inter¬dependent world.
