We shall continually benchmark ourselves against the best in class
institutions. We shall foster continuous learning and reflection,
achievement orientation, creative interdependence and respect for

Thecurriculumisplannedkeepinginmindtheprogrammelevelgoalswhichin
turn are derived from the mission statement. The institutes has set the
followingastheprogrammelevelgoals

Demonstrationofconceptualknowledgeandskillstoviewanenterpriseas
a whole and of how the enterprises strategy and organization be
harmonizedwithexternalforcesintheenvironment
Application of the principles of ethics and corporate governance in a
varietyofsettings.
Demonstration of the capacity to take leadership role in business
situations.
Inaccordancewiththeabove,theentirePostGraduateProgrammeisawellthoughtoutmixof
classroomstudyandexperiential/practicaltraining.Itisafullyresidentialprogramoftwoyears.
TheProgram involves learning through classroom sessions,discussions andexercises,project
assignmentswith organizations, and field based course specific projectwork. However, the
emphasisoftheentireprogrammewouldbeonselflearning.
2.1 ClassRoomPedagogy
Theclassroomsessionscompriseofsixtermsspreadacrosstwoacademicyearsofstudy.The
firstyear
(three
terms)
consists
of
arigorous
and
intensive
grounding
in
basic
management
functions. These courses are compulsory innature.During the second year (three terms), in
additiontocertaincompulsorycourses,thestudentcanoptforelectives,basedontheirareas
of interest. TAPMI offers electives in the areas ofMarketing, Finance, Systems, Operations,
GeneralManagement andHuman ResourceManagement. The class roompedagogy ranges
across traditional class room instruction, simulations, casemethod,etc.Simulationsand case
methodofteachingareadoptedinabigwayacrossthecurriculum,tosupplementclassroom
instruction/lecture.Simulations illustrate thecomplex interplayofvariablesand replicate real
situations,andthestudentcanunderstandordecideonacourseofaction.Discussionofcases
based on business situations helps a student connect the theory that s/he is learningwith
practicalreality.
S/he
must
understand
situations,
and
may
or
may
not
have
to
decide
on
a
course of action, based on the information available. Thus, class room instruction, when
supplementedwith casebased discussions,helps the student indeveloping adeep and rich
understandingofbusinessandmanagement.
2.2 FieldbasedExperientialLearning
Thecurriculumplacesgreatemphasisonfieldbasedexperientiallearning. Learningintheclass
roommustbe supplementedwith fieldbased learning, to result in anunderstanding that is
holistic,andconnectstheorywithpractice.ThePGDMprogrammehasmanycomponentsthat
arefieldbased,suchasManagementinPractice(MIP),OutboundProgrammeandNGOProject,
whichare
important
and
integral
parts
of
our
Program.
2.2.1 ManagementInPractice/FieldWork

A) OutboundProgramme
Thisprogrammeisconductedbyaspecializedagency.Studentsgothroughaseriesofactivities
in a challenging environment where even the simplest tasks require planning, leadership,
communication and teamwork. After going through an experience, students reflect on their

B) NGOProject
An importantcomponentoftheprogrammethatenhancesfieldbasedexperiential learning is
the NGO Project. This is to enable students to sensitize themselves to issues of social
development and social development management. Students work with NonGovernment
Organizationsandundertakesocialandcommunityprojectstogainanunderstandingofnon
profit service organizations. More importantly, by working with and contributing to the
managementoftheNGOs,thestudentsdevelopadditionalperspectiveswithrespecttoroleof
