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.
