Post Graduate Programme in Enterprises Management (PGSEM) Admission Notice 2014-2016

The Post Graduate Programme in Software Enterprises Management (PGSEM) at IIM Bangalore has been re-launched as the Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM).

The Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM), leading to a Post Graduate Diploma in Enterprise Management, is a two-year Post Graduate Programme that targets executives from all sectors of business.

The Post Graduate Programme in Enterprise Management (PGPEM) endeavors to provide professional management education to middle and senior professionals of the industry. It aims to transform professionals with strong technical knowledge into business leaders with management perspectives that are relevant to a dynamic environment.

The programme is designed to meet the needs of the participants, while maintaining the credit requirements and academic rigor of the course. It allows a participant to graduate with the diploma at the end of two academic years, while continuing to work at his/her regular place of employment.
Each academic year is subdivided into four quarters of ten weeks each. The regular course load in a quarter is three courses of three credits each. Each three-credit course consists of 30 hours of classroom contact. Participants normally have nine hours of classroom contact per week, with classes scheduled on Friday mornings and Saturdays. The modular design of the programme allows participants to tailor (within certain parameters) the sequence of courses. After completion of the first year, participants have the flexibility to take a break from the programme for one quarter or more, if necessitated by work-related assignments. Each participant is required to complete the stipulated credits of the programme within a maximum of five academic years. There is a project work component included in the curriculum.

The PGPEM has been structured around core and elective subjects. The core courses are distributed in the four quarters of the first year (36 credits). Participants are expected to take elective subjects for the remaining credits during the next four quarters in the second year of the course (36 credits which includes project work for 3 or 6 credits).

Participants of the PGPEM, with the approval of their employers, can avail of exchange opportunities at foreign universities who partner with IIMB.
