Curriculum

The first-year curriculum comprises core courses which introduce participants to a range of functional areas of management. They also equip participants with the necessary tools and techniques that are required for a breadth of management decisions. The participants of PGP-HRM will attend these courses along with PGP participants to acquire a general management understanding of organisations. These inputs will help them to appreciate the larger strategic and organisational context in which human resource decisions are made. There are a few specialised courses in Term III for PGP-HRM participants to enable them to acquire inputs pertaining to innovative and state of the art developments in the field of HRM.

While a few skill development courses (SDCs) are common with PGP participants, a large number of SDCs are specific to PGP-HRM participants to enable them to develop skills pertaining to research, analytics and psychometric instruments.

Credit system

The concept of credit is used to compute the workload of a course. As a general rule, a four-credit course requires a commitment of about 100 hours from the participant of which 25 hours are to be spent in the classroom (usually 20 sessions of 75 minutes each) and the balance to be utilized for preparation and assignments. The courses carry one, two, three or four-credits.

The course curriculum for both years is as follows:
