Indians resident outside India, and foreign
nationals, fall under the "Overseas Candidates" category. To qualify
as an Indian resident abroad, a candidate should be an Indian who expects to
live, work or study outside India for at least 12 months continuously as of
December 15, 2012. Overseas candidates who expect to be resident in India
during the period July 1, 2012 to December 15, 2012, will, however, have to
take the Institute's Common Admission Test (CAT). The second stage of the
admission process, i.e. personal interviews, will be held in India. Candidates
called for this stage will have to make their own travel arrangements and
produce evidence of having qualified for the "Overseas Candidates"
category.
The Post-Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) is
the oldest, and most prestigious, of the Institute's teaching programmes.
Ranked the best in the country, and 7th globally by Financial Times in the
M.Sc. (Management) category in its 2011 rankings the PGP emphasizes innovative
problem solving, shared perspectives, applied management philosophy, and
stimulating group work. The PGP aims at creating capable professional managers
by continually exposing them to unstructured real-life problems and challenges
facing businesses in a variety of environments. The PGP develops in its
students strong problem-solving skills and a robust strategic outlook. It also
exposes them to a variety of analytical tools, business philosophies, and management
situations, thus enabling them to develop global perspectives on the economic,
technological, cultural, and political aspects of business. The IIMA's PGP
extends over two academic years, and the diploma awarded is equivalent to the
Master of Business Administration degree.
Each academic year begins in June/July and ends in
March/April, and has six slots. The summer vacation at the end of the first
academic year is utilized to provide an organizational orientation to students.
Placement activities start towards the end of the second academic year.
Eligibility
The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with
at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA (in case of the candidates belonging to
Scheduled Caste (SC)/ Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA)
category[1], this is relaxed to 45%), of any of the Universities incorporated
by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational
institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a
University under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent
qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India. The
Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent qualification obtained by the candidate must
entail a minimum of three years of education after completing higher secondary
schooling (10+2) or equivalent. For computing the percentage, the marks
obtained in all the subjects as mentioned in the mark-sheet in all the years
will be taken into account.In case of the candidates being awarded grades/CGPA
instead of marks, the equivalence would be based on the equivalence certified
by the university/institution from where they have obtained bachelor’s degree.
In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting
CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by IIMA by
dividing obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the
resultant with 100.
Candidates appearing for the final year bachelor’s
degree / equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed
degree requirement and are awaiting results can also apply. Such candidates
must produce a certificate from the Principal/Head of the
Department/Registrar/Director of the university/ institution certifying that
the candidate is currently in the final year / is awaiting final results and
has obtained at least 50% marks or equivalent (45% in case of candidates
belonging to SC/ST/DA category) based on latest available grades/marks. Such
candidates, if selected, will be allowed to join the programme provisionally
only if they submit a certificate latest by June 30, 2013 from the
Principal/Registrar of their college/institute (issued on or before June 30,
2013) stating that they have completed all the requirements (the results may,
however, be awaited) for obtaining the bachelor’s degree/ equivalent
qualification on the date of issue of the certificate. Their admission will be
confirmed only when the candidate submits the mark sheet and a certificate of
having passed the bachelor’s degree / equivalent qualification referred to in
the certificate issued by the Principal/Registrar with at least 50% marks (45%
in case of candidates belonging to SC/ST/DA category). It is mandatory for the
final year students, who are provisionally admitted, to submit the mark-sheet
and degree certificate of the final year Bachelor’s degree examination
(including supplementaries, if any) held on or before June 30, 2013, to be
eligible for admission to the Post Graduate Programme batch 2013-15. The
deadline for submission of the mark sheet and the certificate is December 31,
2013. Non-fulfillment of this condition will automatically result in the
cancellation of the provisional admission. IIMA would not allow any candidate
to join their programme in case the candidate is unable to complete all the
requirements for a bachelor degree on or before June 30, 2013. The IIMA would
also not offer admission to any candidate after June 30, 2013.
Curriculum
The first year’s curriculum is compulsory and
covers the basic functional areas of accounting and finance, behavioural
science, communication, economics, information technology, marketing, personnel
management and industrial relations, operations management, and quantitative
methods. At the end of the first year, a student works in an organisation on a
summer assignment lasting eight to ten weeks. The second year courses provide
the students with an opportunity to pursue studies in areas of special interest
to them. Therefore, all the second year courses are electives. This approach
helps students develop an integrated approach to solving management problems.
The Institute has an exchange programme with over
fifty-two peer institutes all over the world. Every year, about one third of
the batch spends a term with these premier management institutes abroad.
Similarly, students from the corresponding institutes study at IIMA for a term.
The Student Exchange Programme enables IIMA students to appreciate diverse
cultures and working environments and develop a more holistic vision. It
facilitates free flow of ideas and knowledge among academic institutions,
brings an international flavor and perspective to the classroom and prepares
students for work in foreign countries.
The Institute has also an arrangement for Double
Degree Programme with three European Institutes. The students completing the
Double Degree Programme will receive the diploma / degree from IIMA as well as
from the partner Institute.
Admission/Selection
