The Content
  Curriculum :-  
  The Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) programme of the Institute is structured in line with IIMs. It follows the trimester system, which, apart from the IIMs, very few Management institutes in India follows. Each trimester is of thirteen weeks duration. The course structure is roughly as follows:

FIRST YEAR
The first year focuses on introducing the students to basic management concepts, providing fundamental business knowledge, skills and perspectives and in their self-development. All papers are compulsory.

SUMMER TRAINING
At the end of first year, the students are required to undergo summer placement of 8-10 weeks in leading and reputed business organizations. During this phase, they are expected to get exposed to corporate culture and observe the dynamics of organizational functioning. They generally work on a project, which addresses some specific problem areas in the organization. AIM is one of the few institutes in India where summer placement is a graded exercise

SECOND YEAR
In the second year, the students study core subjects in areas, which are of universal relevance to management. They build upon the foundation of the basic curriculum and develop expertise in their respective areas of interest. Emphasis is given to imbibe proper values and culture on part of the students. A grand project in the final term is the culmination of the unique business learning experience the students undergo. Through this project, the students try to integrate their diverse learning experiences into one complete whole.

 
  Pedagogy :-  
  The faculty employs a mix of learning tools to provide conceptual knowledge and build skills. Apart from lectures, case studies, project assignments, field studies, industrial visits, interaction with professionals are frequently restored to.

Classroom learning is meant primarily for theoretical and conceptual inputs or knowledge. The teaching method combines lectures and discussions, role plays, simulations, audio-visual in-class presentations. Group exercises and group presentations help in developing inter-personnel skills. Eminent personalities from industry and academics are regularly invited to deliver lectures on current issues. Classroom lectures are complemented by leading edge teaching material, which is constantly updated. Courses are tuned towards research and analysis.

The non-classroom learning process undertaken by the AIM is one of the most comprehensive and unique features of its PGDBM programme.
The effort is to provide suitable stimuli into non-classroom learning through environmental interactions so as to facilitate development of right attitudes, logical and analytical skills and knowledge upon which the student can base his/her self-development.
