Program Architecture

The business school reviews its mission, general learning goals, associated learning objectives and its curriculum every 3 years. The school adopted this policy in the year 2001. The first curriculum rehash exercise was conducted in the same year and the outcomes of this exercise were versioned as 1.0 and were followed by the school for the last 3 years.

On completion of 3 years in 2016, the faculty reviewed the outcomes and reflected on their learnings from their experience of delivering curriculum 1.0. The faculty deliberation in conjunction with industry experts resulted in a new version of the curriculum architecture. Curriculum 2.0.

On completion of 3 years in 2019, the faculty reviewed the outcomes and reflected on their learnings from their experience of delivering curriculum 2.0. The faculty deliberation in conjunction with industry experts resulted in a new version of the curriculum architecture. Curriculum 3.0 with Industry 4.0.

Here is a snapshot of PGDM’s current program architecture:
