Why PGDM? by Manisha


Management is required in every walk of life. Every individual should be able to manage his/her personal life with professional life. In fact, managerial skills are the summation of all possible types of skills that one likes to accumulate over one's career. With a management degree from a premier college in India, I can have the best of human and conceptual skills. In fact, I would be moving up the corporate ladder at a much faster rate.

I worked with IBM India Pvt. Ltd. from August 2008 to August 2011. The job experience made me realize the importance and criticality of the services as well as business application of the clients. So the desire to enter into the managing domain turns into the responsibility of duties.

I came across the PGDM programmes that are offered by autonomous institutions which are student centric. The institutions are responsive to industry needs and they continuously change their curricula and syllabi to address the concerns of the corporate world and to incorporate new developments in the discipline. More importantly, they offer high value added courses and workshop to enhance the employability of the students and to brush up their soft skills. Hence, they not only focus on academics but also on personal and professional dimensions of a student, which is quite beneficial for any individual. A PGDM will prepare graduates for senior level positions in industry and paves the way for a strong corporate career. Hence, as I was looking for a career in the challenging area of management, I chose to go for PGDM.

I believe that the Post Graduate Diploma Programme would enable me to channel my quantitative and conceptual skills on analyzing business issues and would open up new avenues. After completing the PGDM course, I would like to apply for a corporate position, where I can put my analytical and management skills to the best possible use and help make a significant difference to the performance of the organization.

Why PGDM? by Pavithra


I had a great desire to pursue PGDM since my college days. It provides a wide exposure to the business world. It enhances one’s career and helps a person in becoming an effective leader. It also offers challenging jobs and gives a lot of opportunities. It is a very innovative and practical oriented course. I believe, its a best way that helps a person to add value to the organization he/she works.  Also the PGDM degree program offers access to a network of students, alumni, faculty, and business and community leaders. This network can be very useful when beginning a job search, developing a career path, building business relationships in your current career, or pursuing expertise outside your current field.

The knowledge I gain from completing the PGDM program will add immense value to my current career path as well as any endeavour I want to pursue in the future. By giving me the hard and soft skills I require, I believe the full-time PGDM program will help me in developing the skills required to become a successful Manager.
