Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Rural Management)

Classroom Segments

The PGDM (RM) programme includes six carefully structured classroom segments that give a wholesome view of the entire discipline. The faculty follows a distinct pedagogy with regard to each course that involves case analysis, simulations, experiential exercises, project presentations, writing papers and guest lectures, apart from an extensive use of audio-visual aids during regular classes in this segment.

Major courses undertaken by the students during these terms are: Microeconomics, Macroeconomic Perspectives, Understanding Organizations, Production and Operations Management. Implementation-oriented courses from all functional areas of Management including Operations Management, Human Resource Management, Financial Management, and Marketing Management, equip students with distinct skills, allowing them to evolve from observers to analyzers.

The classroom segment in the first year comprises of three terms, each having 12 credits. The courses in the first year cover the basics in Management and Rural context. All the courses in the first year are compulsory. Term I covers the foundation and contextual courses in Rural Management.
