The PGDM course will be divided into 6 Trimesters each of 3 month duration. Trimester 1, 2, &3 will have 7subjects each. At the beginning of the 4th Trimester the students will have to choose one sector out of 5 in which he/she would want to specialize (SECTORAL ELECTIVES 1/2/3/4/5). The sectors offered are Retail, Rural, Telecom and Insurance & Banking. Each sectoral specialization elective has a total of 14 subjects which will then be covered in Trimester 4, 5 & 6. In the 6th Trimester the student will also have a project to be carried out based on the specific sector.

The Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) is a degree equivalent to MBA but is more flexible in terms of course curriculum, evaluation pattern and examination system.

At SAIM&S we have closely knit our PGDM curriculum around Industry requirements and introduced subjects, topics and electives that are more relevant in terms of practical applicability.

To give more flexibility of choice to our students we have introduced innovative SECTORAL SPECIALIZATIONS, which includes a set of different electives that are custom fit for different industries. It is only after going through the compulsory subjects and Industry Summer Internship in the first year that the students have to make a choice of the specialization.

Unlike other courses where you are bound to a particular sector/industry from the beginning, this PGDM offers you the opportunity of making an informed choice at the end of first year when you have undergone all the fundamental subjects of management and industry training.

For PGDM, we have adopted a trimester system where the course of 2 years is divided into six trimesters of 3 months each. The Industry Summer Internship is sandwiched between the two years of the course. The trimester system, when compared to a semester system is more rigorous, tightly packed and keeps you on your toes throughout the curriculum. This makes you ready to take up the rigors of the industry in the real life scenario.

The degree is approved by AICTE.
