I
have the pleasure of presenting before you the batch of PGDBM
students graduating in April 2009 for which we are seeking
placement. As you are aware, since 1994, AIM is conducting
Post Graduate Diploma is Business Management ( PGDBM) approved
by the AICTE. In many ways this is a very unique management
education programme. Right from the trimester system, the
AIM PGDBM programme is run just as they do in IIMs: in terms
of content and structure. At the same time AIM programme has
been reoriented taking the ground realities and the Indian
and local scenario in to account and after determining what
Indian corporations seek from its managers. We, lay a lot
of stress on the self development of our graduates. We try
to inculcate the right values and attitude in them. So, unlike
other management graduates, AIM graduates bring in different
values and attitude so that they can give the maximum to the
organizations they work for.
During their Two-Year PGDBM Programme, an average AIM PGDBM
graduate get exposed to:
33 different papers covering almost the entire ambit of
management, covering more than 1000 hours of direct faculty
contact sessions, six mid-term and six end-term examinations;
at least eighty quizzes and tests; one major project and
at least fifteen minor projects; Ten field exercises and
studies; Eight-week summer placement in reputed organizations;
Four major or minor industrial visit; Fifteen lectures by
prominent personalities; Minimum two self development programmes;
A week-long exercise in Yoga and spiritualism at the local
Vivekananda Kendra; At least two socially useful activities;
and more than twenty seminars and workshops.
We are grateful to many in the Indian corporate sector
who have recognized the intrinsic strengths of our graduates
for placement at various levels. We have also been encouraged
by the positive feedback we have received. We are sure the
Indian corporate sector would be bold enough to examine
whether our graduates meet their HR requirements. Corporations
that are looking for the candidates with the right attitudes
and approach would find an AIM graduate a sound investment.
