Keeping in view the increasing popularity of this Programme, from 2006 onwards, the Programme has been opened for intake twice in a year viz., April and October.The PGPM – Part-Time is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) and AICTE, Government of India. The programme provides six areas of specialization, viz; Marketing, Finance, Strategic Management, Operations Management, Human Resource Management and Information Management. The Institute awards the Post-Graduate Diploma in Management to all those who successfully complete the programme requirements.

From the fifth term onwards the students can opt for specialized ( focused on specific areas in management ) elective courses – and can specialize/major in a maximum of two functional areas viz., Finance, Marketing, Strategic Management, Human Resour
Duration
The three-year (nine-term long) Post Graduate Programme in Management (Part-time) is at par with the regular PGPM programme in terms of coverage and rigour. Each year is divided into four terms. Each term is of 12-weeks duration including two weeks for examinations (mid-term & end-term). For providing flexibility to the students, they are permitted to drop term(s) in between, but they should complete all the remaining terms / courses / dissertation work within maximum permissible limit of five years ( latest by the fifth Convocation after they join ) . In such cases the total fees payable is the amount/fee applicable to the batch with which they would join, on joining back. Re-registration fee is also to be paid in these cases.
Course Work
The programme consists of 36 courses of thirty contact hours each, out of which eighteen are core courses and eighteen are elective courses. Core courses are compulsory for all. Besides the core courses the students are expected to complete 18 elective courses. The students are free to choose the elective courses from amongst those being offered. The elective courses are offered in the following functional areas: Finance, Operations Management, Marketing, Information Management, HRM and Strategy.
The scheme of course work is as follows: in the first year ( comprising of four terms) 16 core /compulsory courses will be offered, having four core courses in each term, in the second year (fifth to eighth term), there will be two core courses in fifth term and two elective courses. The electives start from fifth term onwards. In the third year (ninth term) only elective courses are offered. In the last / ninth term dissertation / project work will also be undertaken by the students.
Specialization
For specialization in any functional area, a minimum five electives must be chosen by a student in that area. A maximum of two specializations is permitted; in which case a minimum of five additional electives must be chosen in the second area of specialization. Thus in case a student wants to major / specialize in two areas then out of 18 elective courses 10 must be from the two areas in which the student wishes to specialize. The remaining elective courses can be chosen from any functional area or from the pool of stand-alone electives which may or may not have linkages with other courses. If a student has not taken 5 or more elective courses in any functional area, he will not be considered to have done any specialization. The elective courses offered in a term will be announced in the second half of the previous term to facilitate registration in advance for the courses to be taken in the following term.
Disertation / Work
In addition to the core and elective courses, each student will concurrently undertake a dissertation project, equivalent to two credit courses. In this dissertation he/she will address a clearly defined issue / problem of/in an organization. Normally this dissertation/project work requires one-term equivalent effort and can be started in the ninth term. A faculty member from MDI will provide guidance for this project work. Students have to choose one advisor from industry also for this project work. The students will submit their typed out dissertation report and will defend their project work in front of panel of examiners. The dissertation is evaluative and the grade obtained is included in the final CGPA.
Class Schedule
In the first year (initial four terms) classes are held on 3 days a week. These three days are Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday for the April batch and Wednesday, Friday, Sunday for the October Batch.

Student's Workload
Each course is associated with a credit. A one-credit course requires 20 sessions of 90 minutes each or a total of 30 class contact hours per term. A one-credit course demands 100 hours of in-class and outside class time. A student is required to complete 38 credits; 18 each from core and elective courses and 2 from the dissertation/project.
