The AIM two year Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) programme is designed by an Academic Council, formed by the Government of Assam. The programme is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), a Statutory Body of the Government of India for approving such courses. The AIM PGDBM programme follows the same pattern adopted by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). The papers have been selected and de-signed after taking help from leading management educators and practitioners.

At the initiative of the Governing Body of AIM two distinguished Professor of IIM (Calcutta) reviewed the course design and based on their suggestion, AIM has redesigned and renamed some papers. Some of the papers offered in the Assam Institute of Management are unique by themselves; not generally found in the curriculum of most management institutes in the country.

The detailed syllabi are given to each student before the commencement of the course.

Each academic year is divided into three terms, each term being called a trimester. Thus there would be six trimesters in the entire programme of two years. Each of the 6 trimesters would be of about 13 weeks.

The first year curriculum would be common to all the students. The second year would contain core papers and optional papers leading to dual specialization.

The core and optional courses are so designed that each term builds upon the courses taught in the previous term, as well as the field experience. Formal classroom sessions are supplemented by frequent guest lecturers from visiting scholars, practitioners, administrators and organization leaders. In addition, the students would have to frequently carry out field studies that would involve outdoor works.

It has to be borne in mind by the applicants that the two-year PGDBM programme would be very heavy and demanding in nature. Right from day one, the participants would be subjected to a heavy workload. Normally three or four sessions would be held in a day, but the participants would have to devote equal amount of time everyday for self-study. Therefore, it is imperative that those who are keen to join in the Assam Institute of Management are willing to work hard, are ready to make minor sacrifices and would devote most of their next two years to their studies and the various course requirements.
