The programme is targeted towards the working executives and entrepreneurs who have not had an opportunity to learn the latest managerial tools and techniques through formal management education. Apart from filling up this gap, it will equip managers for assuming higher responsibilities in performing their tasks more efficiently and effectively in the context of changed domestic and international business environment.

Participants' Profile and Eligibility
Executives of Private, Public and Government Undertakings and State and Central Government Departments located in and around National Capital Region are the potential candidates. Entrepreneurs of family concerns are also eligible. The participant should possess a three year bachelor degree or equivalent in any discipline, recognized by AIU/ AICTE, as eligible for post graduate studies in management. Single sitting graduates are not eligible. Candidates with professional qualification e.g. Engineers, CA, CS, Cost Accountants, Architect, Doctors etc. would have added advantage for admission. The participant should have at least three years of executive/managerial work experience after graduation excluding training period.
Selection Process
The selection would be based on a written test to be conducted at MDI Campus, Gurgaon. Successful candidates will be called for Interview to MDI Campus, at Gurgaon. Due to increased demand and acceptability, year 2006 onwards Part-Time Post Graduate Programme in Management (Part time PGPM) is offered twice in a year: one batch admitted in April and another in October.
Duration
The three-year (nine-term long) Part Time Post Graduate Programme in Management (Part-time PGPM) is at par with the regular PGPM programme in its coverage and rigour. Each year is divided into three terms. Each term is of 12-week duration including two weeks for examination (mid-term & end-term). For providing flexibility to the students, they are permitted to drop term(s) in between, but they should complete all the remaining terms / courses / dissertation work within maximum permissible limit of five years. In these cases the total fees amount applicable to the batch with which they are joining the term, will be charged from them also. Reregistration fee is also to be paid in these cases.
Course Work The programme consists of 36 courses of thirty contact hours each, out of which eighteen are core courses and eighteen are elective courses. Core courses are compulsory for all participants. Students are expected to complete 18 elective courses. The students are free to take the elective courses of their choice. The elective courses are offered in the following functional areas: Finance, Operations Management, Marketing, Information Management, HRM and Strategy. The schema of course work is like this: in first year (initial three terms) 12 core courses will be taught, having four core courses in each term, in second year (fourth to sixth term), there will be four core courses in fourth term and two core courses in fifth term. Electives will start from fifth term onwards. In third year (seventh to ninth term) only elective courses will run. In the last ninth term dissertation / project work will be taken by students.
Specialization
For specialization in a functional area, minimum five electives must be chosen by students in that area. Dual specialization is permitted; in which case additional minimum five electives must be chosen in the second area of specialization. Thus out of 18 elective courses 10 must be from the two areas in which students wish to specialize. Remaining elective courses can be taken from any functional area or from the pool of stand-alone electives which may or may not have inter-linkages with other courses. If a student has not taken 5 or more elective courses in any functional area, he will be considered to have specialized in general management. The elective courses offered in a term will be announced in the previous term to facilitate preregistration of courses.
Disertation / Project Work
In addition to core and elective courses, each student will undergo a concurrently running, action research assignment, equivalent to two credit courses. In this dissertation he/ she will tackle a clearly defined live problem of an organization. Normally this dissertation/project work requires one-term equivalent effort and can be started in ninth term. A faculty member from MDI will provide guidance for the project. Students have to choose one guide from industry also for this project work. The students will submit their written dissertation report and will defend their work in front of panel of examiners. The dissertation is evaluated and the grade obtained is included in the final CGPA.
Class Schedule
In the first year (initial three terms) classes are held for 3 days a week. These three days are Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday for April batch and Wednesday, Friday, Sunday for October Batch. Second year (fourth term) onward classes are held throughout the week depending on the electives offered and chosen. Classes are held in evening from 6:30 PM to 9:45 PM on weekdays, having two sessions of 90 minutes each and from 10:00 AM to 8:45 PM on Sundays, having 6 sessions of 90 minutes duration.

Pedagogy
Pedagogy would have a balanced mix of lectures, group discussion, presentations, case analyses, simulation exercises, business games, field visits and project work. The primary emphasis would be on interactive and participative methods of learning. In tandem with the recent advances in training methodology, the programme would integrate the use of technology with learning the basic principles in different functional areas of management. The participants will have the benefit of interacting with eminent academics, policy makers and industry leaders who would expose them to the current business and policy issues.
Faculty
The Faculty would include a right combination of core MDI faculty and visiting faculty to integrate theoretical rigour and real life application. The participants would have the benefit of interacting with eminent academics, policy makers, managers and administrators. Most of the MDI faculty is associated with leading institutions in India and abroad.

The programme would admit both organization-sponsored and self sponsored candidates. A letter of consent from the organization would be required in case of organization-sponsored candidates.

MDI does not provide any placement services to the participants, since the programme is for the working executives.
