The institute will also organize a three-week preparatory program before the commencement of the new session. Explaining the structure of the preparatory classes to MBAUniverse.com, Prof Ajay Pandey, Chairman, PGP program at IIM-A, said, “These classes will be held for those students, who in the Admissions Committee's perception, require strengthening of mathematical, computing and/or communications skills which are considered to be prerequisites for the program.”
The 300 students of the 2007 session are divided among three different programs at IIM-A: 250 students in the MBA level Post Graduate Program, 30 in the Post Graduate Program in Agriculture Business Management and 20 in the Fellow Program in Management.
Though there are no major changes in IIM-A programs’ curricula as yet, the institute has set up a committee to study the changing needs. Says Prof Pandey, “A Committee has been set-up to review the PGP completely. It is expected to submit its report by October.”
According to IIM-A, “The PGP program at IIM-A aims to nurture managers by exposing them to real-life, unstructured situations along with analytical tools and business philosophies.”
