PGPMAX Admissions 2014

POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN MANAGEMENT FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES (PGPMAX) is an Executive-MBA level programme in Management that allows senior executives to sharpen their management skills with minimal disruption of their work schedules. This programme is particularly useful to senior executives who are unable to take a sabbatical from work to attend the full-time programme.
A unique aspect of the programme, is the collective professional experience of its participants, which enriches the educational environment. Participants from diverse functional domains across industries such as NGOs, SMEs and large businesses share their perspectives making for a very vibrant class room environment. 

Executive MBA programmes are tailored specifically for senior audiences and are quite distinct from full-time and part-time MBA programmes. The programme is designed on a schedule that minimises disruption of work and personal pursuits, and does not impose any locational constraints. Participants can continue to work while also attending this programme. Participants fly in from many cities worldwide to attend classes. Typically, they will be on campus for a week of classroom learning every sixth week.
PGPMAX is rigorous and challenging -- the seven-day schedule includes full days of teaching with busy evenings consisting of guest lectures, projects, and group work. Examinations, quizzes and other interventions are part of the one-week term. Participants are required to stay on campus, or at a suitable accommodation arranged by the ISB, through these seven days.
*Refer to programme calendar for dates.
